How have the pooches been TH?

The dogs are doing great, except for killing some of my chickens.

I will update that thread with some new pics.


I will make a note in my calendar to ask again on march 27th.

Metro last light at 1280 X 1024 is almost unplayable in some parts of the game.

I am in a spot where I need to sneak past some guards. The framerate drops to where it is terrible.

I played both metro games on the 9590 and I'm pretty sure the 8350 with a pair of 280x on 1080p and I swear I don't recall either being crazy bad. Not 60+ all day long but not bad. There was one setting that I can't recall what was that murdered it but I'm sure it was a GPU thing, shadows, physx, something like that. Wish I'd taken better notes but one of my early observations was that none of my games ran what you'd call bad on either of the FX's. I still think you are short on GPU in this case but I'm basing it off memory.
