[Solved] GTX 660M Performance is very low on Win 10.

[Inquisitor]

A GTX 660M > GTS 250 right?

[DWAMONKEYBOY]

pretty much and thats , min specs , so i wouldnt expect good things

[Zes Aelik]

So i probably shouldnt buy the game until i upgrade from my GT 730?

[DWAMONKEYBOY]

not if you want a decent exp , you could try it i mean its cheap enough

update your drivers first. my performance was terrible on 860m after i upgraded to win10. It was only using the embedded intel gpu. make sure you have the latest win 10 drivers for your card. mine is running very well now.

The 660M is more powerful than a 250:

Win10 is currently unproven when it comes to gaming performance... I've seen some games run like champs on W10, but others not pay at all, or run so poorly they are unplayable.

I think there will be some driver updates and some windows updates that come down the line in the next month or two that will help iron out these issues.

After some graphics tweaking in the Nvidia Panel the game runs well.

A few things I discovered, my resolution seemed blury if I choose 1920x1080 full screen and would drop to Windowed mode if I visit settings everytime. To "unblur" choose 1920x1080 with "Fullscreen" checkbox disabled and then hit ALT + Enter instead.

My settings:

Managed 3D Settings
================

Preferred graphics processor: High-performance NVIDIA processor
Ambient Occlusion: off
Antiascopic filtering: off
AA - FXAA: off
AA - Gamma correction: on
AA - Mode: off
CUDE - GPUs: All
Maximum pre-redenered frames: Use the 3D application settings
Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Single display performance mode (I usually only have the screen running when gaming instead of both laptop + screen).
Power management mode: Prefer max performance
Shader Cace: On
Texture Filtering - Anisotropic sample: On
Texture Filtering - Negative LOD bias: Allow
Texture Filtering - Quality: High Performance
Texture Filtering - Trilinear: On
Threaded opti: Auto
Triple buffering: Off
Vertical Syn: Off
Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames: 1

The game is now playable. I suspect drivers still need tweaking.

I went ahead and got the game. Even if it doesnt work on my current card, its not like I plan to stick with the GT 730 forever anyway.

It's playable, I'm getting around 35-45 now, was 10 before. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197961494118/screenshot/1479783576372311001
