Nvidia GTX 670 - Graphics: Reflections performance
in Account & Technical Support
Posted by: specular.7142
- Intel i7 930 with Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce.
- Stock clocks, all system drivers up to date with Nvidia beta 306.23.
- Using Vsync – 60Hz – 1080p.
- All settings on highest/ultra with supersampling.
- Game is on Corsair SSD.
“Reflections: None”: this gives me near perfect 60 fps except for some cities. But that’s not really a concern. Without Vsync I am in the 80s-100s.
“Sky & Terrain”: a slight hit (3-5 fps) on average, but certain areas bring my computer into the low 30s.
“All”: bigger hit (10 fps) and more areas bring everything to a crawl. There is one particular spot in the instanced area of the Charr city that gave me 10 fps, where all the Charr are gathered at the center.
So I tried lots of combinations, like lowering shadows and all three sampling options, but I find that the Reflections is the only thing that’s holding me back. I actually thought that Shadows would be the bottleneck, but that’s not the case for me.
I am quite happily playing without Reflections at the moment because they are not that important to me, but I just wanted to post it in case it helps someone else.
Cheers.
