Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me here.
I recently downloaded the DX11 and High Res texture packs but they are killing my FPS (as low as 14 on average)! I ran Crysis 2 on max settings getting 70-90 fps with a low of 50.As I recall DX11 is supposed to improve FPS. It did in AVP and several benchmarks.

Here are my specs:

Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)
Intel Core i5-2500K OC @ 5.0 ghz
P67A-C43 (MS-7673) 1.0
AMD Radeon HD 6870
8 Gigs Corsair RAM

AVP looked like **** what ever DX you used, take metro 2033 and Bad company 2 both have DX11 both took big hits to FPS

Bad company 2 ran better for me than crysis 2 does...and it requires more power and imo looks better.

Bad company 2 on my 6990 got better FPS in DX11, same with FEAR 3. Also BC2 does NOT use tessellation. The only DX11 feature in BC2 is the lighting and shadows. Metro 2033 is poorly optimized so i dont even want to start with that.

@OP a 6870 is not enough to run heavy tessellated environments such as Crysis 2.

ok so your saying that im going to get around a 70 fps hit just from tesselation? this sounds odd to me as nothing else that uses tessellation in my game library takes anywhere near as much of a hit as that. dx9-90 fps dx 11-14 fps
