6970 LOW FPS? - onthemour - 06-12-2011
I bought amnesia on prerelease and played as soon as it came out. Best horror game I have ever played. I played it on my old i5/5850 crossfire set up on single screen 1920x1080. It had good fps on high settings with vsync on. Now I am trying to play the dlc and will want to do the whole game over but I am having troubles with fps.
I upgraded a few minus ago to a 2600k/6970. It runs at 4.5ghz and 960/1540 stock volt. I have eyefinity 5670x1080 and it runs smooth on high without vsync but screen tear is horrible. When I turn on vsync it lags like crazy. Even on 1920x1080 low settings it lags with vsync! My system is much more powerfull than my old i5/5850. Is it lagging due to the 6970 and the drivers? I have tried d3doverider and ccc vsync but they also kill the fps. Do I need to reinstall the game? I got it off of steam do I need to use a cracked version? Does anyone have any ideas?
I love this game and really want to play it again

Try to disable smoothing. Also, don't full SSAO.
RE: 6970 LOW FPS? - Googolplex - 06-12-2011
Set the SSAO-Samples not over "8".
Higher values above "16" will slow down the game immense!
I hope, all values above 16 will get removed with further updates.

settings on low disable everything and still lags with vsync. I can['t believe it cannot handle vsync

Did you disable mouse smoothing and/or edge smoothing?
RE: 6970 LOW FPS? - Hardarm - 06-12-2011
Guys, But what SSAO truly do? I tried with medium - 16 and High - 64 there isn't so much difference
Just a lot of lag.
RE: 6970 LOW FPS? - onthemour - 06-12-2011
I have everything disabled ssao, smoothing ect. I get a 30 fps cap with vsync but most of then time i get around 20-25 fps laggy crap. Without vsync its 60 fps but the tear makes the game unplayable.
Right now my game is unplayable!

I'm reinstalling through steam and then I will try skidrows
So far no solution
RE: 6970 LOW FPS? - onthemour - 06-13-2011
no tears with fullscreen off and vsync off. I will hide the taskbar and use transparent borders with black wall paper. Sucks I have to do this but at least now I can play it! yay eyefinity
