I need ideas...
290x catalyst version: 14.4 (latest stable)
i7-2600k
I can max out metro 2033 and run it buttery smooth, and any other game out there.
However, Crysis 3 is a different story. The very first time I ran Crysis 3, it ran like a dream and fully utilized my GPU (according to MSI Afterburner and Catalyst Control Center). But it seems like whenever I stop playing and restart my computer, the game will not use my graphics card at all. GPU usage stays at 0%, and occasionally spikes to 80-100% for a fraction of a second. As expected, the framerate has plummeted to a snail's pace around 1-5 frames per second.
I did manage to make the game work again for about a day, after uninstalling and reinstalling the catalyst driver for the THIRD time... dafuq. But now its fluffed up again.
I just need some ideas. I imagine there's some magic that you can do with app-specific settings in catalyst or some batch to make it utilize the gpu... idk.
Anything helps, thanks.
