    Good luck. But that was expected. The developers wanted.to make sure the experience was the same on all the platforms. Meaning they wanted to make sure you have a console experience on PC. Whatever... I just hope you didn't pay 60 bucks for it...

    In-game OFF + D3DOverrider on still results in the 30fps max?

    You may want to try RadeonPro.

    I noticed the ingame v-sync caps the FPS at 30FPS too. In my case I have got a NVIDIA GPU so I disabled ingame v-sync and enable v-sync in NVIDIA Control panel and that gave me 60 FPS. Perhaps you need to find a 3rd party tool for that since you got a HD7970M.

    Up to chapter 7 now, game has been pretty awesome so far.

    My solution is to use Radeon Pro (1.1.1.0 beta). Selecting Dynamic VSync under the Tweaks tab and that'll allow 60FPS vsync. I get persistent black screen crashes with crossfire though, but that's a different story..

    RadeonPro overrides all CCC settings (or is at least able to). I prefer doing things through RadeonPro so I don't mind the "mess" :)

    Thanks for the tips. Get capped at 30FPS with Vsync on and with Vsync off, 100+ FPS seems laggy too.. lol. Textures are scarier than the game itself but the art style is nice.
