When I last checked the thread at Volition, it had reached a couple hundred pages and new posts had been made within a couple of days still hoping a patch would be released. I guess the main point of my post is that Volition released a game that's sort of broken for quite a number of people, acknowledged the issue, promised a patch that would fix it, then never released it. My graphics switcher is called AMD Catalyst Control Center. You can tell when the 7970 is the one being used because it sounds like a jet engine. Every game I play I'll start up, then exit immediately so I can switch to the high-performance setting. If a lot of high-end rigs have trouble running it then maybe I'm lucky? I mean, I booted it up just a few days ago and it ran/looked pretty dang good. It was just a reference to what types of games I can run maxed out compared to SR3. I remember running into this exact issue and Im pretty sure the solution was to change some setting for. The weird thing is that while SR4 is a little choppy, it still runs notably better.
I don't know if it's still an issue but you might want to look into it said my laptop runs Metro 2033 perfectly at max settings. I decided to reinstall 3 and 4 to play them with mods again and Im noticing that SR3 is unplayable due to getting like 10 fps. Games wouldn't utilize the entire GPU, only about half of it, and it isn't something you can easily disable. It's a graphics-switching technology for laptops that use AMD cards, from what I understand.ĮDIT: Apparently Enduro has caused issues for people in the past. I'm also looking around the internet and thinking that maybe this Enduro thing is, or was, an issue. I'm on my laptop and not my PC so I can't check SR3's options menu, but can you try turning the graphics quality to High, NOT Ultra, and turn shadows off. Make sure it's using the 7970M and not the onboard chip.

Are you certain that your drivers are up to date? Also, many gaming laptops use the integrated graphics until you start a game, and sometimes it doesn't switch to the graphics card. Regardless, your machine shouldn't be having issues running this game. most modern very high-end PC's have some issues running Metro 2033 at max. Heck, I felt cheated paying $10 for something I only got 30 minutes out Uh.

Reading through some of the thread I mentioned made me feel really bad for people who paid full price for the game. The funniest part is that AMD is advertised when you start the game up.ĭriving in SR3 is a large part of the game so having to do it at 10-15 frames makes it sort of unplayable. Close to two years later and that fix still hasn't been released. A Volition employee eventually responded saying that they were working on a fix for it with AMD. It seems that SR3 has issues with a lot of AMD graphics cards (which my laptop has) and a few Nvidia cards. I did a little looking around and found that there's a massive thread on the Volition boards that started right after the game's launch with people who all have the same problem. Changing the graphics settings from maximum (what the game recommended) to even the lowest didn't do anything. This is on a pretty powerful gaming laptop I bought about six months ago. The problem is, the framerate drops from 50-60 indoors to 30 outside and an awful 10-15 while driving.
I recently bought Saints Row: The Third for like $10.
