Zehryo Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 There must to be something wrong, to me. I cant believe increasing the uGridsToLoad value by one can turn my FPS down that much. My System:i7 920 @ 4.0GHz12GB RAM -> 6x2GB @1600MHz TriChannel2x GTX580 in SLI The Game is installed on a RAID0 volume (which is not the problem anyway) The same trees filled landscape gives me about 50FPS with 5 uGridsToLoad and 30 with 6.... Is there something wrong with my system or I forgot to move along with other important tweakings?? =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, follow this tutorial, it explains everything in great detail yet it's dead easy to follow. http://deadendthrills.com/2011/11/madness-in-the-method/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway 7 gives me the same result. 8? Same thing. 11? Madness!!! XD Nah, I just want to avoid that awful pop-in of the scenery details, like rocks and trees changing from LOD to full details....bleh!! I've played at 11 for a bit, but then I decided I couldnt take the FPS drops anymore. So I moved down to 9, then 8, then 7....6 was my last try. But to be honest there's no big difference between 6 and 8, in terms of performance. It's like anything beyond 5 brings in some heavy work loads for my GPUs, and I cant understand what's so "heavy". =p Anyway hurray for the ENB/HDR embedded FPS limiter, my cards dont go overspeed anymore when I'm indoor. 120FPS is totally useless and all I could notice was overheating and noisy fans. >.< ANYWAY!!Anybody else is experiencing such big performance drops when going anything beyond 5 uGridsToLoad? Your system specs? Other tweaks?I suspect it's all about trees and shadows, but they're range limited..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
