METRO 2033 3d Ready, and it shows......

It indeed looks incredible, even with my crappy 8800GTX card. I am waiting for the fermi cards to upgrade.

I'm playing on easy and I still die from time to time. Though, I am not the twitch gamer that I used to be.

Yep, I concur. Am in D6 now, and withour any spoilers I have to say the jelly balls are doing my head in. I just CANNOT get past them... Oh yeah, it's on easy... /confused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' />

I think i'm going to go home tonight and lower my 1080p to 720p and see if that lets me play in very high. Willing to bet it will look pretty decent on my DLP even at that res though. Has anyone done any benchmarks to see what the biggest performance impacts are? MAN i wants a new GPU!

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Everyone should note that, Upgrading to Fermi is useless for those who do SLI. I have 3GTX 280's and playing at 1080p with everythign on high except AA on Analytical, the game runs at 20-30 fps.

Turning SLI does not change this !!! Which means that SLI is not working, if SLI was working we could run this game easily. Turning off 3D vision, I get frames from 80-115FPS avg!!!!

I have GTX280 SLI and with 3dvision off i get 60-80fps and half of that when using 3dvision at 1920 res. So SLI is indeed working since you get half of the frames going to one eye and the other half to the other eye when using 3dvision.

That is [b]absolutely[/b] not true! I'm using GTX280 TriSLI, and the game scales beautfully with it. You can alos check on this by using precision or afterburner and monitoring the load on each GPU. I would go so far as to say that Metro2033 is actually the best scaling SLI game I have played to date.

Note: It might be that it's necessary to manually set the rendering mode in the profile, which I did to 3GPU AFR2. But I guess you tried that before posting, anything else would be idiotic.

SLI scales in Metro ideally, take a look at reviews.

However it is possible that on not genuine game copies it does not scale.

just got my "coppy" working and it runs very slowly on my system. settings to low, res to 1280x800, oc my proc to 2.6 (dualcore) and still no love. Sounds are right but sooooo choppy on my system. Will have to work on this. Only went as far as to see if it was going to crash and shut off for the nite, will try later today. Get tingles when people compair this to fallout3 or same style games, damm cant wait to play.

yeah, I am downloading my "coppy" now

I bough dvd in shop and it does not want to install from it but from steam :-( I am very angry, because I was forced to make steam account in order to have game installed.

Yes, it is with microletters on the box.

I am playing, nevertheless I have to play with significant graphics card overclock in 3D Vision.
