Brehs, Metro Last Light almost put my PC in the ER. Started the game, was running at a cool 60 fps. shyt started happening and I swear I dropped down to frames worse than Watchdogs on Ultra. Was steady looking like


But once I turned the Advanced PhysX off, everything was all right.

But I turn that SSAA on and it's another story.

same thing happened with me.
that Advanced PhysX was getting all up in my ass....deep too.

yep, in general PhysX causes uneven performance in games. that PhysX & SSAA combo put a hurting on my 780. I was at 60fps most™ of the time, but shyt would dip to the 40's. even lower in their benchmark, but the game never really has any moments as intensive as that benchmark

Looks like the Mantle renderer in BF4 is what was causing all my stuttering. I turned that shyt off and put it back to DX11 and the stutters were happening infrequently. The game is at least playable now. It's weird because I could've sworn I tried DX11 before and it was still stuttering like crazy.

Yeah dog, Mantle sucks in BF4. My 270x was looking at Mantle like when it dropped and I got the drivers and all for it.

that Mantel secret sauce doesn't taste so great, huh

The G3258 is such a beast. Wish they did something like it with the i3s.

what advantages do the i3's even have? hyperthreading?

A whole lot more instruction sets, a much better igpu, supports 1600 ghz ram and of course hyperthreading.

thanks for the reply i got it working. i was doing it all manually and then i went back to the guru website and found out there was a sweetfx configurator. made it easier to deal with it.
