Hey!
How does Mafia 2 perform on you guys G73?
Here is mine with 9.12 Catalyst:

Im on 10.6 drivers and gameplay was pretty amazing. Graphics on this game are absolutely fantastic. Cant believe how good itI got rank C on the benchmark running at 1080p and most settings on high. AA off AFx16.

How does it run on stock drivers? Also what does the APEXphysx setting do? Does it do anything for ati cards?

Holly Sweet Jebus! Is the demo out already?! Dang, this is one game I have been waiting for, for a long time!

APEXPhysx adds more bells and whistles in the game, such as volumetric fog and smoke effects, realistic glass shattering and breakable objects etc. As far as I know, PhysX is limited
to Nvidia cards as of now, and after checking the minimum requirements for a machine that is required to run PhysX at High for this game, I doubt that too many laptops will
meet those specs. You would need at least a GT 460M to turn physX to medium, according to the minimum requirements of the game.

Wonder how much of that D rating has to do with the cpu utilization.

@ DRevan

I bet you will get almost double the performance if you try with ambient occlusion disabled.

updating from 9.12 to the newer catalyst drivers will/might give a huge performance boost too; possibly along with the gsods.

i was playing the demo and on 9.12 i was lagging badly, with the same settings on 10.7a it was smooth

Actually, with 10.7a the minimum FPS drops from 5.9 to 4.8 and the avg fps is only 0,3 higher. At least in benchmark.

Wow I can't even complete the benchmark. It stupidly crashes and has happened twice in a row... dammit

biueish · 08-11-2010, 03:36 AM

well the benchmark results are not very telling; do play through the demo. on stock drivers i started lagging on the 2nd floor of the distillery in the mission

This is my result with g73 at exact same setting as the poster but i have catalyst mobility 10.6. I uninstalled creative driver and am running process lasso in gaming mode.
