Metro last light stuttering on AMD

[Max McCarthy]

I've got a radeon hd 7850, and an fx 6300. Physx is always disabled, but even on low settings, I cannot achieve a locked 60 FPS, can anybody help? Thanks.

It stutters on my i5-4690K/R9-290X too. (at max settings)

it also stutters on my 2 desktops. granted one of my desktops is smaller than the other but im getting a new motherboard and i bet it still wont run metro last light lol.

These are my current specs for both computers.

Main desktop (aka: Astrid) I have an older msi motherboard (new motherboard coming soon, gonna be an asus crosshair v formula z)

8350 CPU @ 4.0 ghz 8 gigs of team Vulcan ram at 2400 mhz R9 280 graphics card H55 corsair water cooler for my cpu 3 terabytes of hard drive space


my second desktop (aka toothless) which is 1 foot tall by 1 foot long by 5 inches wide. Mini ITX of course wont run metro but it can run arma 3 better than astrid can and these are the specs for toothless: EVGA Hadron Air Case, f2a88xn wifi motherboard from gigabyte, 6800k Richland APU at 4.1ghz, 7750 graphics card 8 gigs of corsair vengeance pro ram at 2133 mhz, and of course 4 terabytes of hard drive space.

Yes I'm having a stuttering issue in Metro Last Light as well. file:///C:/Users/Michael/Documents/4A%20Games/Metro%20LL/Benchmark/2015.09.22%2009-28-26/metro_report.html
Look at those drops in the middle of the benchmark, my core clock goes wild in that area.
Here is a benchmark I did with Metro 2033.

Looks like Metro Last Light and Metro 2033 both stutters like crazy. I can't recommend anyone getting these two games, anyone planning on getting these two games just don't get the original get the redux version it is actually a lot more optimized than the original with minimal stuttering or even none at all.

My new GPU (R9 280x) seems to work fine.

Can you tell me which Graphics Driver are you using. I have a R9 290 and it still stutters in Metro Last Light

 

[Max McCarthy]

I am using the latest beta drivers. I have the game set to high, 1080p with vsync enabled. SSAA is also disabled. I can run it at very high, but it will occasionally drop below 60FPS.

Maybe I am just too sensitive to stuttering in games. I constantly look at MSI afterburner and every time it stutters my core clock drops then goes back up.

 

[Max McCarthy]

Vsync makes the game much smoother for me. As long as it does not drop below 60 FPS.

Maybe I am just too sensitive to stuttering in games...

That may well be. Some people can detect the slightest micro-stutter. Others seem impervious to even the most noticeable. Best you can do is experiment with different settings. A-A is one of the most noticeable settings to destroy frame rates.

turn off the physX thing and that fixed it right up for me when i got the new motherboard as well. Now games run better than they did for some reason. I now have Asus's Crosshair V formula Z motherboard and i actually can play metro last light. I am still really confused as to why after only changing the motherboard that it runs better.
