Hello! Im getting around 16 fps on Metro: Last light. Whenever there is a cut scene it jumps up to the hundreds but whenever its time for me to play it dips back down. I have a GTX 780Ti with a i7 4770K so I know I can max out this game easy. So whats the deal?

My drivers are up to date. I fixed the issue by disabling physx. Its a shame the devs gotta fix this :/

pysX looks great in this game! I play the game @ 1440P psyX enabled on ultra with no problems with a Asus 780 ti and a 3570k.

However I didn't enable SSAA - did you enable 4x ssaa?

4x SSAA could be your problem - If you are using 1080p the max you should use is 2x ssaa for this game.

I have exactly the same specs, and same FPS. stuck at 16, even when i lowered to LOW and turned off half the options, like SSAA. Didnt touch the PhysX though. Whats going on?
Can this game not be played with physx enabled? whast the deal

Well, that's not right. I can play on high settings (2xSSAA, tesselation at high, everything else ultra at 1080p and stay at 30+ fps. And I only have a GTX 660. PhysX is brilliant in Metro LL (I have it running on GPU); it can't be causing this issue alone. There's some sort of bug or something with your installation.

Rationale is correct! Something is Really wrong!

I just tried Metro LL on my system fully maxed out @ 1080p with 2x ssaa.

I get a constant 60 fps with occasional dips to 55 and a minimum of 50 fps.

I the frame cap to 60 in riva tuner, so I don't know the max however in the past I would exceed 70 fps.

I'm using a Asus 780 ti overclocked to a constant 1150 MHz and a 3570k.
 


I play that game on MSI GTX-760 TF Gaming and I have well over 50 sometimes 60+ FPS with ultra settings but without SSAA at 1080p, something is really wrong.

Physx is enabled. :)

i found out what the problem is its hyperthreading if you disable it it works fine with everythinh on high im running a 770 with a 4770k and when i turned off hyper threading it went from 30 to over 100
 


I'll have to check to see if this is with all hyperthreading, or just your CPU. Should be easy enough to test on my i3.
