Judging by the videos and the screen shots he uploaded, he did use highest settings. Anyways, he'll answer by himself.
Even though dx11 light effects are a good addition to PA, this game still looks somewhat ugly and from another era. It could have been released years ago. I can play Skyrim...
Drivers are up to date, sir. Are you using maximum graphic settings? Try Circus Voltaire or Black Hole, and switch to static camera 4 or 1. Tell me what happens. Usually, I experience fps lost only during events where the camera zooms on something, as I only use static camera 3 with events view...
So, I guess Mike will change recommended settings from AMD HD 7770 to HD 7950, while a gtx560 is still more than enough. Even a gtx465 can still run this game perfectly. Recommended settings only increased for AMD users. So, if you are poor, buy a cheap Nvidia GPU. Personally, I'm not...
For instance, pinballwiz45b used to play this game with a gtx 465, which is about as strong as a HD 7770, and he could run this game flawlessly. Now that he switched to HD 7950, he did notice some fps drop on circus voltaire, teeheheh.
Your 600$ GPU is too weak for a pinball game. You have to invest in a better one. The game is perfectly optimized. You could also downgrade to a GTX 960 or 970, people have been reporting no problem running the game with those cards.
As you can see above, Farsight already concluded that AMD users reporting weird FPS drop issues have a weak video card, so that issue is not an issue anymore, it's just us having a bad video card. It's not on Farsight's end. We have to buy a low-mid range nvidia gpu or a top of the line AMD gpu...
Then can you explain me why I get a steady 60 fps rate on CV and Black Hole when using a static camera 3? If I use static camera 4, or if the game zoom on a particular event, fps rate drop from 60 to 30. On TOAN, I only get fps drop when the camera zoom on the plunger and when I use static...
And I should add I was also having issues with dx9. A lot of AMD users were experiencing a high level of blurriness that wasn't affecting most Nvidia users. And Farsight was never able to fix this problem. They told me dx11 would fix it, and they were right, but now I get fps drops on some...
Intel i5 quad core, 8 GB RAM and HD Radeon 7770 1GB should be more than enough for PA in dx11. The proof: I get a steady 60 fps on TAF, Earthshakers, Diner, TZ, Star Trek, etc., etc., but not on Circus Voltaire and TOAN (depending on which camera I'm using, and whether it's zooming in or out)...
If you plan on buying a new video card, don't get an AMD one. Farsight will not support AMD, they never did. I experience slowdown on certain tables (not all of them), even on old tables like black hole, and I use a HD 7770. Try to understand why I get a steady 60 fps rate on TAF and not on...
Mike, were you guys able to reproduce the fps drop problem a lot of us have been reporting on some specific tables (especially Cirqus Voltaire, Black Hole, TOAN)? Having a steady 60 fps rate on almost all tables (including TAF, Jackbot, etc), except on a few specific ones isn't normal. I plan on...
Good to know, I'll get that card eventually, as I'm pretty sure this optimization issue will never get solved. I can already use maximum MSAA and every other graphic settings maxed out without any fps drop with my current AMD R7770, I'm surprised you couldn't with your.
I'm also planning on buying a gtx 960, maybe this summer, but can't really afford it right now. Let us knows if it fixes the fps drop issue.
I hope they optimize the dx11 build, as a lot of PA fans don't use a 200$ gpu.
How much do I have to invest in a gpu to play a pinball game? 200$? 300$? 800$?
I'm pretty sure those fps drops on particular tables and during particular times are related to an optimization issue. If not, then explain my why I get fps drops on Black Hole (!!!) and Cirqus Voltaire, but not on...
I also experience FPS drops on CV, TOAN, Black Hole, and some other more. Those usually happen when the camera switch to an event, or when I change the camera view. I hope they can figure out this problem, because I really think my system is up to the job for this kind of game...
Intel i5 750...
Lol, that was a few years ago. Nowadays, mobiles always come first. Everything else comes latter, including consoles.
Farsight specializes in mobile games, a far more interesting market. In a decade there will be nothing left in the gaming industry but mobile games. And we will soon all convert...
Hum, I'm sorry if my first post hurts your feelings. The only reason I am posting here is because we get next to no support on steam community discussion board. Farsight doesn't read most of the comments left there, they are only active on a fan forum for some reason.
