Never mind, don't read this. I overlooked the physics option. works great now.
I'm just hoping someone can clarify if my FPS is reasonable for my system or if their is something more I can do. My system is bottlenecked at my CPU, but so far it hasn't been much of a problem. Is the physics on Last Light really so much more intense that it's not playable with an older CPU? I just finished 2033 on high and there was only a couple of FPS dips that I barely noticed.
My system:
Phenomx4 9850 OC @ 2.75GHz (pre-FX)
4GB Ram DDR2 800
HD7950 @ 1100Ghz core, 1350Ghz Memory 3Gb
I turned every setting down/off as able. Running no other programs. res is 786. vsync off since I'm on a plasma. I've tried several combinations of settings and it doesn't even budge past 7 FPS. CPU Meter isn't showing my CPU pegged at 100%, though it's close, the core load just oscillates a lot.
Not sure if this low of a performance is reasonable or not. I know my GPU is just fine, but if I understand correctly the way the game was optimized the developers offloaded quite a bit of physics to the CPU. Just wanted to run it past the pro's here at Tom's see how you guys felt.
Thanks for the help.
