When they give an ETA for a driver it's normally within about 30 hours. Often [u]well[/u] within.

It's not just indoor, its an overall framerate drop down with 3D Vision installed (not active).
And no game or nvidia option change my 3D Vision FPS performance.

I wrote before:
[i]
Just wanted to clear things up with the current 3D Vision driver.

It not just affect the indoor performance.

Here my FPS for a outdoor level:
Driver uninstall: 40 - 50 FPS

Driver installed but not active: 20 - 25 FPS
Driver installed and 3D Vision active: 15 - 20 FPS [/i]

So let's wait and see. :)

yeah, sure - any ideas what this server license costs? i could easily buy a new gaming rig instead. /blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

however - still nothing new about this "3d ready" game that wants to be played on strictly 2d systems. /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':laugh:' />

I've seen a marginal improvement with the new patch. I get a steady 35-45 FPS outdoors now, less dips down toward the 25-30 mark and indoors i now get 10-20FPS instead of 8-15 but indoor areas still suck. I had a little play with lighting and extinguishing torches in the pit fight area and noticed a change from ~25FPS to ~40FPS once all the torches are out so I'm thinking the issue has a lot to do with the use of flames and lighting effects as there are lots of candles, fires, etc in houses, in a similar way that lots of candles in DA2 gives a big hit to framerates in 3D.

Can only hope that NV can work a fix for indoors in the next driver set now

hm - you could try to set the "number of shadowed lights" in the options to low and see if that helps - and keep us posted if it does. /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />

Nope, made absolutely zero difference :( at least at the inn anyway, might try it in some other houses/huts too.

Standing at the same point in the inn:
Shadowed lights low, SSAO on = 12.2FPS
Shadowed lights medium, SSAO on = 12.2FPS
Shadowed lights medium, SSAO off = 12.2FPS
