First of all, here are my specs: i5-3570k Radeon 7950 8GB DDR3 ram WD 1tb HDD Alright, so here is my issue. I noticed I was getting a fairly low frame rate in certain areas (mostly towns). So, I decided to mess around with the launcher settings until I discovered which setting gave me the biggest hit. I lowered absolutely everything and increased it one by one. After conducting the "test" I saw only one setting that was causing me lag, which was the "Object Fade" setting. I can literally lower every single setting, but if that one is high at all it will cause me to go down to 30-40 FPS in towns. I thought maybe it was normal or perhaps it was an AMD issue. However, I looked around and even saw some benchmarks of other peoples systems with and without the object fade raised, and they had less than a 1-2 FPS decrease when maxing it out; yet I get a 20-30FPS decrease whenever raising it above 3. Does anyone else have this issue? I have tried using different catalyst versions but to no avail. I tried 12.7,12.8 and am now on 12.9 beta and the issue is still not resolved. I don't have issues in any other game really; so I'm not sure if its an issue to my GPU exclusively...
