    Dark Souls

    Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Sep 22, 2011

    A quasi-sequel to From Software's action-RPG Demon's Souls, set in a new universe while retaining most of the basic gameplay and the high level of challenge. It features a less-linear world, a new checkpoint system in the form of bonfires, and the unique Humanity system.

    I have installed the game with the HD mod and dsfix and I'm using pretty mild settings (@1440p) for AA and AO etc (I think) but I keep getting slow downs especially when rolling or jumping. Any ideas? CPU & RAM are stock 2600k & 8GB. The settings I use are below:

    renderWidth 2560

    renderHeight 1440

    presentWidth 0

    presentHeight 0

    ############# Anti Aliasing

    aaQuality 2

    aaType FXAA

    ############# Ambient Occlusion

    ssaoStrength 3

    ssaoScale 2

    ssaoType VSSAO

    ############# Depth of field

    dofOverrideResolution 0

    disableDofScaling 0

    dofBlurAmount 0

    ############# Framerate

    unlockFPS 0

    FPSlimit 60

    FPSthreshold 10

    Just out of interest, what's your CPU? I remember this game being way more heavy on that then the GPU, at least back when they put it out.

    If I remember correctly it's the Depth of field resolution override settings in dsfix that can cause bad frame rate. From dsfix: "higher values will decrease performance

    # do NOT set this to the same value as your vertical rendering resolution!"

    Strange. I think I have my DOF on one of the lowest settings.

    If you're using a PC with a built-in graphics chip on the motherboard like 'Intel HD Graphics' Dark Souls defaults to that instead of your actual graphics card. That could cause the FPS issues.

    hm I don't think that would be it because i would be getting constant 5 FPS or something when running the game @1440p.

    Ahh this is driving me nuts I disabled everything (DOF, AA, and AO) and still I get dips to the 10s.
