Mirror's Edge Issue

SkyeHawc · 04-22-2012, 07:35 AM

Hello! I have an issue with Mirror's Edge. I've checked my specs, and I'm more than well equipped to play Mirror's Edge graphics wise. The issue is, I drop to about 2 fps when I go into buildings with many AI and physics objects happening all around me. And if you've played Mirror's Edge before, you know this is an issue.

So, what could be the problem? The only background program is Steam, and I've set every option I can graphics-wise to low.

Specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ (2.8 GHz per core)
4 Gigs of RAM
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5570

Try to update your PhysX drivers.

Uninstall them and install them again from here. Do not be confused about them being NVIDIA drivers.

That didn't help.

Turn off physix in the game.
It really kills framerate whenever something physix related happends. (like debris falling around).

:/ this game just isn`t optimised well.

It's not the games fault that AMD doesn't support PhysX, thus causing a massive framerate drop when PhysX is activated and something PhysX related happens.
