    am i doin something wrong here with my setup or does nfs ms sucks so bad that it stays at 25 fps fps most of the time? im running 7970m with 12.11 beta 7 which supposedly fixes the dx9 issues

    so basically 12.11 was just a super tweaked driver for certain games like bf3 that didnt even touch the enduro issue , that is just horrifying

    I haven't installed 12.11 and I was just pointing out that the enduro performance drivers are the ones that are supposed to include the dx9 fixes. Have you tried any other dx9 games? Could be a problem with the game.

    At a quick glance:

    Men Of War : Assault Squad performance problems - Page 5 - Official 1C Company forum

    The problem seems to be the game. Even people with 590 gtx complaining about poor performance. Some potential fixes are included in that thread.

    its clearly writen that older version was causing performance drooping. I have the newest version of this game and i ask also other people with who i am playing online do they have any lags and they dont lag at all. We all have the same version and they have even slower computers then my. Even then i make setings very low i have the same performance. Why other people with much lower computer spec the game plays flawesly and i cant play? Its definetly ENDURO problem not game engine.

    ROFL, it's not AMD or drivers... It's Most Wanted, Criterion's new engine is terrible on PC. NFS HP2 is still running poorly after 8 patches. It's a well known issue. Nvidia users have crappy performance as well, SLI GTX 680 owners raging :D

    It's definitely not Enduro, I have the game too and I can get it to 60 FPS also. All you have to do is reduce reflection and geometry, read the forums... The stuttering is impossible to get rid of right now, both Nvidia and AMD.

    Most Wanted is a terrible port with no anti-aliasing support. Cant believe they went from Burnout Paradise to this piece of crap..

    I've been playing pretty smoothly with the Enduro Performance drivers... There are fps drops at certain spots, but I hear that's due to the game.

    Yes, with the enduro drivers it will at least solve the driver issues, but the game, well that's another issue :/

    At least you got as best performance as you could now.

    hulawafu77, in my case..it doesn't really matter if you reduce Reflection & Geometry. Set everything to max & I get like 30-60 FPS varying while playing the game. Play the game with Reflection & Geometry set to low, same FPS.. set everything to Low & Off, same FPS.

    I'm running the Performance Driver.

    AMD Radeon HD 7970M - Notebookcheck.net Tech says the 7970m perform at 48 fps at ultra settings , this don't make any sense , they either mixed up between 7970m and 7970 or they pulling numbers out of their , no doubt im getting 40-60 fps but that only at the edges of the map , when i get at the middle of the map or cities it plummet to 24-23 in most of the areas

    I just did a 5 minute fraps benchmark, which is long enough to cover both highway and city parts: avg fps: 46.6 on all settings maxed, but this is in 1680x1050 mode, since my external monitor doesnt support fullhd. I can play the game pretty smooth... yes with lots of cops it will dip to about 28-32 fps, but hey even 25 fps is good enough for a racegame... shooters that's another story..
