Bad Optimization

People need to realize that PC hardware advances much faster and is therefore outdated much faster than consoles. Don't get me wrong, I've played some abysmal console ports but this isn't one of them.

You don't need to teach me about hardware. And no, MW3 is not running on a modified Quake 3 engine, that's a myth. Yes, this engine was the basis, but it is it's own engine right now.

And a HD 5770 OC is more than capable of running games smoothly, even today. Yes, you can't crank the settings up, but still. And Alan Wake shouldn't be that demanding.

a 5770 was released as a mid range card 2.5 years ago and Alan Wake is pretty demanding so do not expect great framerates at 1920x1080.

Yes it is, just like L4D2 is running on the source engine, heavily updated since HL2 but still the source engine

I was talking to AlanWake777 when I said it was time to upgrade. As for you, that card isn't that powerful these days.

No, that's not comparable. They started with a modified Quake 3 engine, but now all the main code parts are replaced, it's a new engine. Source is different there. It mostly evolved, but didn't get a completely new code.

I know, it's not the best card. I'll update to a HD7850/GTX660 when they dropped the price a bit.

I'm not going to argue over what tech is used for MW3, my point remains valid either way. It's not a good game to benchmark how powerful your PC is.

Optimization is excelent.
Works great on a good hardware with W7.

LOL, troll detected.

Why are you calling him a troll?

This game DOES run great with good hardware. I get a constant 60+ fps running at 2560x1600 and it never even drops down to 59fps! Every setting maxed except for vol-light and SSAO on low.

Before the SLI patch, I was getting about 45fps and choppy. After the patch, it runs butter smooth and extremely enjoyable.

The PC version got numerous updates upon the x360 version.

You can very well play on medium or low as the differences aren't that high and the xbox version actually is somewhere between them.
