Best graphics settings 
			 
			
				Hello, I've been playing Amnesia for about 2 hours and have tweaked the graphics settings as much as I know how but still am getting some framerate issues.  There are so very many options for graphics modification, would someone mind telling me the best graphics settings to get a clear framerate while still keeping as much of the graphical richness as possible for this compy: 
 
Hardware Overview: 
 
  Model Name:	iMac 
  Model Identifier:	iMac9,1 
  Processor Name:	Intel Core 2 Duo 
  Processor Speed:	2.66 GHz 
  Number Of Processors:	1 
  Total Number Of Cores:	2 
  L2 Cache:	6 MB 
  Memory:	4 GB 
  Bus Speed:	1.07 GHz 
 
and this graphics card: 
 
NVIDIA GeForce 9400: 
 
  Chipset Model:	NVIDIA GeForce 9400 
  Type:	GPU 
  Bus:	PCI 
  VRAM (Total):	256 MB 
 
Thank you very much.  I am very much enjoying your game and want to experience it to its fullest.  It's been scaring the crap out of me, but I just can't stop!

RE: Best graphics settings 
			 
			
				What resolution are you running at?  As you graphics device only has 256mb that is going to be one of the main limiting factors.

RE: Best graphics settings 
			 
			
				Using medium settings (selected in the Launcher) is probably a good starting point. Then you should probably tweak by either lowering the resolution or lower (possibly turn off) SSAO samples (in advanced graphics). Possibly both. 
 
If you get some framerate issues after this, it is probably due to the water. So when ingame, go to graphics and turn off world reflection. 
 
If you still feel the framerate is a bit uneven, then try lowering the quality and detail of the shadows.
