Tomb Raider question...

[Waltjie]

Hey all,

I just downloaded Tomb Raider, and I have a question. Everything in the game looks great, but it is as if the speed of the game/animation has been turned up to X2. Water, fire, rain, Lara... everthing moves waaayyy to fast.

I've tried playing around with the graphics settings, but no luck.

Any idea what could cause this??

I just installed a R9 280X in my system, and also have the latest AMD drivers.

Thanks!

I think he's talking about the latest one. The first one didn't have graphics settings to play with

Turn VSYNC ON?

 

[Waltjie]

The latest one, yes.
VSYNC is turned on. Also tried turning it off.

Question: Are you using an AMD or INTEL CPU.
If Your Using AMD you can try and install the AMD Dual Core optimizer.

You can download it here = Utilities

I am using an AMD A8 Richland cpu.

It might work, you just try installing the dual core optimizer. I read around a a bit a found some threads with similar topics. All of them advised using the dual core optimizer.

There were also cases of people changing the clock speeds of their cards that complained about having the same issue.

Turn off tressfx and tessellation.

 

[Waltjie]

I will give that a try BlitZig. Thanks!

Turn off tressfx and tessellation.

Tried that. No luck.

Not sure how, but the problem seems to have sorted itself. Thanks for the replies guys!

Further to this, I've discovered that it has something to do with the CPU's clock speeds. I played around with AMD Overdrive software, and games do NOT seem to like this at all. I installed Borderlands 2 again (just to get myself in the mood for the Pre-sequel ya know!) and the game wouldn't launch at all. It would start up from Steam, and after all the company logos have shown the game would crash back into Windows. Same thing with Bioshock Infinite.
Went back to CCC and Overdrive and turned off all forms off overclocking - problems solved! I'm not sure if overclocking from the BIOS would have the same effect, but my low-budget mobo doesn't allow for me to try.

Well at least you found the reason behind it. Weird that it is like that.
