    SB Rise of the Tomb raider game: Very LOW FPS! virtually unplayable...thoughts??

    crazy dude, honestly cant fathom why I'm not getting same fps as you, by copying your settings its greatly improved fps but I'm not seein 25+ more like 16-20 tops. maybe once ive got past the soviet level things will improve. but consistently so far through the game its been 16-20.
