6950 Performance

[Masturshake]

Set General Draw Quality no higher than 8 (9 and 10 will not increase quality, and setting it to 8 may free up enough GPU resources that you can turn on max AA and still get a performance boost if GDQ was set over 8). Full screen mode is faster. Make sure you have the latest windows updates as well as the latest video drivers. Other than the basics, can't offer much until you post your specs and settings in FF (can get both from the FF Config utility).

This was the winner!
Thanks it works now im getting 55-60FPS with the goats. (haven't tried AA)
Geesh.. Why is that setting so demanding its almost worse than Ao...
Out of curiosity anybody running AO.. remember when i got my Limited copy everyone i ran into couldn't run it.. it was known to be "super buggy" this is my first time on the game since Limited Edition launch so i assume its actually do able now... And last but not least kinda set back that the clicking out of the game makes it crash thing? Remember when i was at comic-con i asked the community manager if that was getting fixed and he said yeah should be soon.. lol well its almost a year from than? is there anything i could do to get around this?
Thanks in advance and thanks for all the help thus far like i said wasn't expecting the replies so fast am truly grateful!

Running the frame buffer at double your resolution cuts your frame rates in half... go figure

Im just messing with you... enjoy the new card

Don't think it's just a problem with the framebuffer size. SE really needs to optimize this stuff xD

Yeh its known issue the game is unoptimized, but even still that GFX should of not been doing 30fps haha, lest you figured it out, the frame buffer matters a lot, if you was on like 1080p and doubled it you'd be having a 4k/2k res which is pointless imo, if you was running at like 720p and doubled it, it could probably handle it better as it'd just be a resized 1080p.

Hey guys while i still have this thread on front page..
Let me get everything out the way lol..
So my FPS is great now.. but i get little jitters here and there as well as a little screen tearing.. Solutions? i hear v-sync fixes this? will it demand more from my card.. also i read that jittering is from HD for what its worth im running on a OCZ vertex II 120GB

Well now that you have fixed the GDQ problem.. Now you can run windowed... at least I would... that could fix your issues...
And yea Premium V, The game is so unoptimized...

So you're saying windows will stopp my tearing / jitters?
Alright i'll give her a try..

I know people have reported a lot less glitches in windowed mode as opposed to full screen

Now that you got your drawing quality sorted out, turn your AA back on and max it out. It won't affect your performance.
