You have up to date drivers right?

Taking a break for a bit. Got tired of dying after 30 levels.

Playing Dota 2 for a bit.

I still want to try to make an Incinerate hero because its not a very popular spell. But I'll probably have to make a Templar so I can get the HP nodes and transition from something like elemental cleave.

i'm a dual totem Incinerate

Gameplay mechanics are just clunky.

i don't really understand because POE doesn't tax my system much at all.

sure it's not the internet connection?

I've spent countless hours tweaking shit, googling how to do this how to do that. Some things definitely helped, but this game is so choppy for me. I can't even play with friends or I'm at 1 FPS.

I think this game just has problems with ATI graphics cards. It seems that other people with these piece of shit cards are having the same problems.

I have an Asus Radeon 7770 and it runs clunky.

maybe windows 7 is buggy when running through bootcamp?

I have a 9600M GT and it runs at 60 fps LMAO

I had to turn off shadows, though. That brought my fps up from 30.

holy shit! I ACTUALLY SOLVED A PROBLEM AND IT WORKED!

So. Usually when I'm in battle FPS goes from 5 - 30 constantly jumping. Well I just ran a whole map and the FPS went from 60-110, in battle. That's never happened before and I'll you what I did.

So, I was under the impression that my graphics card driver was updated, since I've unintalled and reinstalled the catalyst control center at least 100 times, thinking that would update my driver. Since, when you go to the website that was the only option to update drivers that I saw.

If you go to this page and do a search for what driver you need. This is what you get

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...w-vista64.aspx

So I always thought that would update the damn drivers. But it doesn't, which I just learned now. How stupid is that?

Because I opened up dxdiag and it showed that the driver was old. So, I'm like wtf. Then I went to AMD driver autodetect and it installed that. Then I check dxdiag and it's updated.

HOLY SHIT THATS STUPID

It appears my problem has been solved.

so this whole entire time I've been playing with outdated drivers on the graphics card. AMD's website and how to install drivers is completely reeruned (or maybe I am lol). But when you search for drivers and your only option is to download their control center, wouldn't you assume that's going to update the driver? WTF
