Thanks
Stability is the issue. Game is fine for the 2 minute stretches when it works
I should probably just go to bed though...

It's a shame because it seems like a very simple feature to implement, (you would know having made Dsfix and thus is familiar with DirectX), and yet it's still uncommon.
Only Valve, and a few other publishers mandate the option in the game as a selectable one.

AMD Fail.
Crysis 3 is a recent example.

Hair floating over the shoulders reminds me of
I don't own Crysis 3. Crysis 2 had triple buffering, though. Odd that the sequel wouldn't.

I'll be playing with a gamepad on my couch with my 7.1 surround in 3D.
I'll definitely be using a gamepad.
It'd be easier to name games that do allow it.
Source Engine games, WoW, Hard Reset.....
Um yea.
Since the emphasis seems to be on shootbanging and the platforming is largely autopilot, I'll probably stick with KB/M.
That looked absolutely horrible. Gameplay/visuals/and performance.
Also, what's with the T-1000's theme song kicking in at 3:45?

regarding the driver download? always been very quick for me, utilising about half of a 100mb connection
Get the drivers from Guru3D instead, they sometimes even have them up before Nvidia themselves.
Same here. Definitely like jumping/QTEs with a controller!
Crazy talk.
Kb&m at the moment. I'm waiting to see how much the combat favours precision before deciding on whether or not to switch to a controller (I found Max Payne 3 far better with a kb&m, for example).
Guru3D seems to have stopped updating its Nvidia selection circa 306.23.
Gamepad, on my tv. Big picture mode eff tee dub.
I'm still asking for games that don't allow it so I can see for myself. So far Crysis 3 has been named, but unfortunately, I don't own it. Any recent game I've played where I can't maintain 60fps has had it: The Witcher 2, Metro 2033, Crysis 2...I guess maybe the issue is that there aren't too many games where I don't maintain 60fps.

Thank you for the sigh of relief. That's very close to my specs @ 4.5 3570k and the 7950 OC/boost that's showing up on my doorstep this week. In real gameplay should be at 50-60fps with tressfx on then.
Not bad for a midrange card!
I can't remember the last time I downloaded GeForce drivers at more than ~100KBps and at the moment I'm getting roughly a third of that. I'd thought it might be an issue with my cheap-and-nasty ISP but I talked to a mate the other day and he said much the same thing.
Edit: I should also mention I'm referring to single-threaded downloads. I don't use a download manager, although perhaps I should.
What?

They add every single driver release

Indeed, but it lead to many complaints from people who didn't understand why their framerate would drop from 60 to 30 fps regularly.
What recent games don't have triple buffering besides Crysis 3? Crysis 3 was quite literally the first game I have played in years that only offered double buffered V-Sync. Most games when using the VSync option have triple buffering.

Haha, how embarrassing. In my defence it's almost midnight.

These two are not triple buffered.

What are you're specs? Overclocking? You seem to be the only person having issues going by the OT and PC thread here.
Thanks, guess the SLI profiler already updated them.
I tried Ultimate @ 1080P w/ TressFX and FXAA. Ran suprisingly smoothly between 40-60fps, but it's been a bit unstable, and I think it doesn't play well with my Nvidia overclock. Both crashes were driver-related. Installed new Nvidia drivers and will probably turn off hairFX for a more consistent 60fps and stock OC. 680 + 3570k

Anybody have a rough idea what I should expect with an i5 and a 7850 at lowly 720p?
Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
Sapphire HD 7970 OC'd to 1125 Core Clock and 1525 Memory
8GB RAM
The 1FPS must have been at the very beginning of the benchmark because I didn't see a drop anywhere near that. I'm willing to bet that if it ran two benchmarks in succession I wouldn't see tthat FPS drop
This was just a baseline...now I'll try it again with AA and go from there. I'd also like to note that the game instantly crashes when I tried using SweetFX with it. SweetFX was giving me trouble with a game that usually worked well with it yesterday as well (coincidentally another SE game, Sleeping Dogs).

Huh? I run The Witcher 2 at about a constant 45-50fps, and I'm not using D3DOverrider.
