Can you disable directx 11?
According to msi afterburner, the game uses DX11... in WoW DX11 ran slow and had glitching issues...
So i was wanting to try and disabling it, as I get pitiful performance with this game.

Getting tired of people having this awesome utilisation/fps, while I'm sitting here 50% everything... 30-under fps.

NA pretty sure its DX11 only, and TBH you wouldnt find much frame gains changing to DX10 even if poss, as its more than likely CPU lag, A3 actually can run decently with powerful CPU and a fairly average GPU.

And what CPU would that be? I have a 4770K with a 760 2GB VRAM and I'm only hitting like 25-35FPS, and I've notices more stutters in last update.

If thats on online its probally KOTH\Life type thing where your battling poor servers and bloated missions, and the poor server of course dealing with all the crap rigs ppl try and play with in them gamemodes, however if your getting this SP COOPS or well run group missions then somethings up, ive got same setup with CPU OC'ed to 4.0 but a lower card 750ti and I get 40+ with ultra settings min AA 2000+ viewdist and this is online with the group I play with too, I could easily push 60 in SP if messed with settings but I really like a long view and obj dist.

Anywho no DX10.

I was reading online about people using DX10, thought it would be worth a shot. the system requiremetns used to be that too, I think.

My problem is that the game only wants to use about 50% cpu and gpu. Its been like this for a long time. I have a 640 propus and hd 6790 1gb. All I ever do anymore to see if it's fixed, is just load in campaign. Any setting = poor performance :/

Unfortunately all ya specs are on the verge, never mind what it says on the box (system requirments), if you can OC that CPU at all could be option for FPS increase, but not sure what that CPU is capable of in that department.

Demanding the source

-winxp

Forces the game to use Direct3D version 9 only, not the extended Vista / Win7 Direct3D 9Ex http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee890072(v=vs.85).aspx
- the most visible feature the Direct3D 9Ex version offers is a lot faster alt-tabing. May help with problems using older drivers on multi-GPU systems.

not sure if this is what your looking for?

Is that 50% cpu in total or the highest % any core gets?

I mean with 4 cores for example:
Core 1: 80-90%
Core 2-4: 20-30% each

Total % would be like less than 50% in this case... but you cant expect it to run faster since Core 1 is already a bottleneck.

System Requirements

Minimum:
OS: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1
Processor: Intel Dual-Core 2.4 GHz or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT or AMD Radeon HD 3830 or Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 512 MB VRAM
DirectX®: 10
Hard Drive: 15 GB free space
Sound: DirectX®-compatible

If it's 10 in min reqs I guess it should be possible somehow.

-winxp didnt work :/

the game ran better in alpha/early beta, like I'm talking I was running it on ultra settigns and like 2k view distances etc...
cpu 50% gpu 50% lucky to get 40fps for a split second, and even when msi afterburner says its getting 30, it feels like 20...
amd 640 hd 6790 1gb 4gb ram
idk hearing about more of this core stuff again.... it uses all 4 of my cores pretty evenly. core 0-3 50%ish
