The fix for this is simple. When was the last time you went outside into the woods at night and were completely blind? All that needs to be done is to make it so its not so dark at night. As much as I "love" staring at a black screen while playing it completely robs the realism from the game. It is not as dark outside as this game makes it out to be. THAT is the real problem.

I run on maxed settings with this hardware with no frame losses or issues. I was concerned about running this game in SLI due to its troublesome nature in of itself. However there is no screen tear, stutters graphical issues of any sort if im in SLI or not. (I have tested both) Solid 60FPS all the way. one major difference im seeing across the builds is that im running RAID 0 SSDs Perhaps i can load the mass of textures more quickly? Although i have my doubts on that

unable to record anything in the game at 60fps, screenshots i take in game are of my desktop. took screenshots with my rec software also and they have no fps overlay when i do. i do however stand corrected on one thing if i go outside any major city and look in i get 45-55 fps depending on how much is on screen. but once in the city back to 60 fps with the normal 58-62 fps variation. and either way dropping to 45 frames i would hardly consider that a "massive" framerate drop. considering it is about the same for any game in a big city. I understand the issue with optimization and it is clear that if im dropping frames at all in this game there are optimization issues. I dont know how useful this will be and if its not i apologize. i just wanted to put it out there that with my current hardware config i have no severe framerate issues so for the devs take it for what its worth i guess.

sorry did not realize i didnt post that 1920x1080 @60Hz (would be 120Hz if my dog didnt chew my fucking DVI) and hey, im not trolling man i want this game to be every bit as good as it can be im not going to make false reports to inhibit that
EDIT: perhaps someone else should test this but im thinking that with my screenshots snapping my desktop instead of game maybe someone should test turning off AERO and see if that has any positive or negative effect. typically this only helps low end systems save resources but i have had weird errors with games and AERO in the past. but once again i have my doubts
