Low framerate on a fairly powerful card.

[pog12156]

Asus g73jh-rbbx05
CPU: i7-720qm
GPU: ati 5870m 1gb vram
RAM: 12gb ddr3

On high everything with SSAO turned down to medium with 16 samples i get a frame rate of about ~23. I tried turning down the resolution, shadows, SSAO, and parallax but it had little to no effect on my framerate. Turning v-sync off gave me a boost of about 4 more frames.

I'm running catalyst drivers 12.6 with the most updated vbios. Amnesia is up to date according to steam and my laptop can easily play other games like crysis, max payne and skyrim. Also I run gamebooster everytime i play so background applications shouldnt be a problem.

I figure that there must be something i'm doing wrong or some issue im not aware of because i would expect a far higher frame rate than this. Its barely playable and the frame rate drops everytime a gust of wind blows a door or if i walk into a larger area. I'm really at a loss of what to do and im dying to play this game.

I've included the hpl.log
