AMD GPU FPS boost

[Toukoi]

Hey guys,

I've been trying everything with my rig to get the fps up to a stable 60 with all settings maxed and finally I found it. At least it worked wonders for me.

I have 3x R9 290X but crossfire is useless so if you have extra cards then disable crossfire in CCC.

This is the part that gave me brilliant frame rates though. So using just one of my cards has allowed me to run this steadily at 60.

Every option on CCC for this game was set as follows.


Antil Aliasing mode : Override application setting
Anti aliasing samples : x4
Filter : Standard
Anti Aliasing method : Multisampling
Morphological filtering : On

Anisotropic filtering mode : override application settings
Anisotropic filtering level : 16x
Texture filtering quality : Performance
Surface format optimization : On

Wait for vertical refresh : Off unless application specifies (This is ON in the game settings as the game seams to have issues with vsync forced from outside)

OpenGL Buffering : Off

Tessellation mode : Override application settings
Maximum tessellation level : 64x

Frame pacing : On
AMD Crossfire mode : Disabled

Now it could have been a combination of just a couple of those that gave me the super smooth frame rate but that's my settings.

Before this I was getting around 45-60 outside and it was really jumpy. There's obviously something set within those game settings that is playing havok with GPU's and overriding it, for me at least has done the trick and I can finally enjoy the game. Hope it helps someone.

how do you actually change these?

sweet. I will give those a shot right now.

Vortex, you change those through the AMD Control Center

If you haven't got a shortcut set up then right click on your desktop and select AMD catalyst control centre from the menu.

Then click on

'Gaming'

then

'3D application settings'

Next you have to add the games exe file to the list which should be located in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Lords Of The Fallen\bin

Once you've added it to the games list you have to select it and then you can apply the settings to just that one game rather than a global setting. Hope that helps mate.

Wow what a coincidence, thx for posting OP......I'm getting a R9 290x installed tomorrow as part of my rig upgrade. Not buying LotF till steam xmas sale, but will try this out.

All maxed and everything turned on including the nvidia thing, whatever they called it, turbulence or something ?

No problem, I hope it's useful for you. And good choice on the upgrade.

funny though, the one thing which, after lots of testing around and gettin frustrated, made the game playable for me was disabling v-sync..and i'm runnin AMD aswell...nothing else seemed to work..but v-sync off->puff-> atleast 60% more FPS.
What i'm trying to say, all this is very rig-subjective.

I am using a R9 290x as well and while this did not fix my problem of every other minute FPS drops lasting 10 seconds, regardless of area or settings, it did make it more withstandable. The FPS drops do occur, but are significantly improved, probably more around 10-15 instead of 5 FPS now.

I'll tinker around with more settings to see if I can make it work 100%.

I'm sort of the odd person out because I am running dual FirePro's (workstation) and I can run the game at 60 fps on high as long as I disable volumetric lighting, with volumetric lighting it dips to a constant 30 fps. I am also forcing crossfire through catalyst and running them under "default" in case that helps anybody

I should have also mentioned that I am running the latest beta CCC and have done a complete clean install of that software. I can't remember the number and I'm currently on my macbook so I'll post that tomorrow.
Its a very odd situation regarding this game with all sorts of issues that seem to be specific to the users. I'll post my full system specs with manufacturer of the cards, maybe the issues could be specific to that.

- Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Formula Z97X
- RAM: Avexis Blitz 16GB 2400MHz C10
- Graphics: 3 x Sapphire Tri-X OC AMD Radeon R9 290X 4096MB

- Primary Drive: Samsung 840 Evo Series 1TB SSD
- Secondary Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA-III Hard Drive

3x R9 290X and you only get 60fps at max in this game lol. I tell you what you should do - get your money back for this bad ported game. I mean come on, your pc is probably 6 times or more faster than a console.

[Malvenom]

Thank you for this! I notive the difference and I get the beauty of the game even better now.

lol, have you heard of a little thing called vsync ?

Obviously with it on I can't go past 60fps and I've not fps tested it without vsync on. I'll do that right now and see what my fps is on average.

Good to know it's helped, thanks for posting ;)

Only using one card, as crossfire is disabled, I get 80fps average without vsync and that's going through the first two areas, up to the outside area where fps would usually take a huge hit. It never dropped below 76fps.

So if they got crossfire support done properly I'd expect to be averaging at least 150fps, 1080p with all maxed the same as it is now.

That really strange i have an r9 290(not the x) and i still getting low fps (40-45) on high.
