Very poor performance in MGR:R

[Coaxialgamer]

So i recently bought metal gear rising : revengance on sale ( had the 360 version , but game is fucking good ) , and for some reason it will not run properly on my hardware .

At 1080p high it barely manages 40 FPS with frequent dips below 30 , ( goes as low as single digits ) 

 

even dropping to 720P low sssetting doesn't help ( it barely improves at all ) 

Can anyone help with this ?

 

the game recommends a gtx 650 or equivalent , power which my rig should easily be able to provide .

 

Why is my PC running the game worse than my 11 year old xbox 360 could ?

 

specs: 3770k 4.5ghz

8gb ddr3 1600

290X @ 1080mhz 

 

afterburner shows the gpu is loaded , but it never quite reaches 100% ( stays in the 90's ). everything else is within normal parameters

maybe try disabling crossfire? see if that might be messing with your performance?

Maybe try reinstalling the drivers or the game? I don't know, even my old Gtx 480 ran this game fine,  although it's capped at 50fps.

Then I'm all out of solutions. The only thing that remains is restoring Windows or trying another card, even the iGPU
