Hey everyone :)
This litte tweak helped me so much... I struggled with serious stutter, and low fps. My rig is kidna old, but this really helped!
It seems that MSAA is turned on no matter what for me, even though it appeared to be off, and that i got no visual improvement. But, going to this place:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 3
and opening up the graphics.xml with notepad, you should see this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Graphics Version="1">
<Resolution value="17"/>
<Width value="1280"/>
<Height value="1024"/>
<RefreshRate value="60"/>
<Fullscreen value="1"/>
<TextureQuality value="1"/>
<AnisotropicQuality value="0"/>
<Vsync value="0"/>
<SSAO value="1"/>
<ShadowQuality value="1"/>
<ReflectionQuality value="1"/>
<WaterQuality value="1"/>
<FXAA value="0"/>
<Tessellation value="0"/>
<HighQualityShaders value="1"/>
<DirectXVersion value="3"/>
<MSAA value="1"/> <--- set this to 0
</Graphics>
just set it to zero ( 0 ), and save it. Right click the file, go into properties, and set a check mark in "read only" at the bottom, under attributes. That way it doesnt get overwritten, and it WILL get overwritten if you dont do this.
Make sure to set your other settings like you want them from inside the game, before you do this. Otherwise they wont stick...
Have fun, and hope it helped some of you :)
