[Official] Max Payne 3 PC Information and Screenshot Thread (Not A Port!!!) - Page 69

This game is nice enough that its the first game i paid cash money for in a very long time. just saying. its worth it. 

I have tried all combinations. 3way, 2way and single card. All have fraps completely locked at 60fps, even with vsync or frame limiter off/forced off. Afterburner shows normal behaviour. Game feels as if it's gone 60hz but it's 120hz in the settings and in the cfg file. GPU usage hovers around 17% for all cards. Am on a fresh windows install as well with latest drivers for everything and have all the latest redistributables.

Tried using the commandline file to force 120hz, no vsync, trifire, etc. Also the graphics.xml file and set both to read only. Still fraps shows 60fps cap and afterburner over 120fps. Surely fraps is wrong as there is no way it will be capped to 60fps on a 120hz monitor without vsync.

anyone else noticed this, lol... what the heck?

Went to walmart (gamestop was closed) and they didn't have it

Couple more screens. I especially love the second one.

Anyone else get a heavy breaking bad vibe from Bald Max?

Yep, freaked me out but from nvidia's forums its a bug and should be listed as 3dvision ready.

Just finished the game, loved it. Ran very smooth minus a crash or two, very impressed!

Anyone else have issues connecting to multiplayer? I can play all the eight person games fine (DM, TDM, etc...), but every single time I try to play Gang Wars, the game sits at the loading screen for like five minutes then players slowly drop until I'm eventually booted out to the menu. The game will say things along the lines of connection lost, couldn't connect to host, or that there wasnt enough players. I went ahead and forwarded the correct ports, but it still doesn't work (didn't think that was the issue anyways as I can play the other modes just fine). So yeah, anyone else not able to play Gang Wars? I've looked on the Steam forums but havent seen anything.

I certainly think so. The 7970 isnt too power hungry even under a heavy overclock its pretty reasonable (imo). Just give it a try and see if your fps improves. Ive noticed in certain areas of the game when I look in one direction my fps drops to 30 and stays until I look away. Its strange bc I can just stand there staring and it wont budge from 30 until I look another direction. Gotta be something to do with the game as I doubt it would always drop uniformly to 30 in these areas. No big deal to me if so for a game that just launched I certainly wont be complaining.
