Will AAMFP support newer graphics cards?

[GrAVit]

I keep running into the same old thing where I boot up Amnesia: TDD, and go for the auto-detect options when selecting the graphics quality.



After that it simply informs that the video card is not "listed", and presumes medium settings.

What is this "listing" that you speak of?



Now hopefully, this will be fixed for Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs.

I have noticed that even with my Nvidia GTX 560, I may get immense lag when playing on my native resolution. (1920x1080)



Is this because Amnesia fails to take advantage of my video card properly?

Is it possible for it to use it to a larger extent?

In other video games, such as WoW or CoD, my graphics card makes a considerable amount of noise, but the games run at a solid 45-60fps on maxed graphics. When I play Amnesia, it's completely quiet, as if I never even started any game.

The fps goes around 15 or 20 to 30 when on my native resolution. Sometimes the game randomly boosts up to a solid 60fps, but after doing something like reading a note and exiting it, the fps suddenly drops low again.



I do have the latest drivers installed aswell.

It would be a shame to have such a problem in AAMFP, as I know that It'll be a fantastic experience, which could potentially be ruined by low framerate.



The game seems to run as fast for me as it did on my Nvidia 9500GT, which is far less powerful.

My processor is an Intel i5 2320 3GHz, 6GB RAM, 1TB worth of disk space. My PSU is also sufficient.



There are no "viruses" or "extra background programs" that could be slowing the game down.



What do you guys think?
And do you think AAMFP will have better support on newer graphics cards?
I certainly hope so.

I have the Nvidia GTX 560 as well. It runs perfectly fine at around 50-60 FPS when I have my laptop on High Performance mode. But I run on the 1600:900 resolution. Have you tried dropping it to that?

Is Vsync on? Try turning that off to see if it does anything.

Amnesia was released at September 2010, before GTX 560 and it has a file that sets low,medium or high preset graphics at tested graphics cards. Yours is not on of them. Something is else is the problem and not the game. Maybe old drivers or other programs running in the background.

Yeah, I have, and I also get 50-60FPS on High. I'm still surprised that I get such FPS drops on my native resolution, since I can run Crysis on Very High at around 30fps on 1920x1080.

It is on, but if I turn it off, some graphical glitches occur. I don't think it gives any considerable FPS boost or anything.

check my reply above, that's it. Also, your graphics card is not that powerfull as you think. I have a GTX 460 and it is better that yours. That's because GTX 460 < GTX 560 Ti < GTX 660 Ti. At maximum graphics and 1920x1200 it was not at 60FPS that I wanted. Amnesia has some "heavy" graphics options.

I have to agree to that. I have to set SSAO res to medium to keep a good framerate. If it's at high, drop it down one and see how it goes. It's not a huge noticable difference, so the profit is good.

SSAO is one of the graphical options that really drag performance down.
