    Guru3D's Oxide Custom Profile

    Guru3D member oxide has posted up his own custom graphics profile. Copy and pasting this into my own gamer profile replacing my current did wonders for the game for me so please give it a try but be sure to back up your original profile settings before doing so.

    I've quoted it in full below...

    I just gave these settings a go myself but didn't see any improvement to my previous settings. What annoys me most is that low settings give you about 4-5fps more than ultra settings, there's literally no option to reduce settings for higher frame rate.

    Here's how may game looks like now with Oxide's custom profile. getting 30-45fps or more.






    If it worked for me I'm confident it will work for someone else out there. My specs:

    Videocard: AMD R9 270 Dual-X OC 2GB
    Processor: Phenom II X4 Quad @3.2Ghz
    Mainboard: Asus M5A78L-M
    Memory: G-Skill 8GB DDR3
    Soundcard: SB X-Fi Xtreme Music
    PSU: OCZ 620W

    The best thing Oxide's profile did aside from making the game look stunning and run better was completely disabling the hud. Never expected it would make as much difference as it does but wow. Starting to actually enjoy the game at long last.

    Well did some quick tests with Oxide's profile and I must say it does work great with no noticeable difference in quality.With a FPS gain of 10-15FPS.
