Quote: LS/SMG2 gives me a bit trouble
Something to do with the settings . TLS don't need LLE , TLS + EFB copies to Ram + HLE = i5 3570K @ 4.2GHz
SMG2 + LLE backend should run close to full speed with i5 3570k (stock speed) and full speed all the time if overclock to 4.2GHz
i5 3570k @ 4.5GHz is more than enough for those two games
Use
Settings for best speed and 3x/4x Internal Res , no AA , 16x AF .
I should be playing this game 100% without any hickups on an i5 3570k OC'd to 4.2
I'm at 4.5 and I get hiccups sometimes.
BTW: I'm running my games through my external harddrive. But that shouldn't affect performance, right?
This doesn't affect performance as long as the external drive is a normal HDD with average speed

Last Story runs superb

.
Yes it drops a little bit in the city at certain areas but it runs at 30fps consistently. SMG also runs at 60fps most of the time but it hicks up. I'm just trying to get someone to clarify if that should be happening to me. When I see people say full speed are they saying COMPLETELY perfect, no hickups at all? Or they generally get 60/30fps for the most part, like me.
USB uses CPU but it shouldn't much for a few MB/s.
If you use a modern CPU (not Intel Celeron

) this won't affect the performance.
Still waiting for clarification

idk what you're talking about since there are sandybridge and soon-to-be ivybridge celerons XD
