Really low FPS

[Janssoni]

Hi. I finally get my 9800gt. I install it and it works fine, then i go play an IV and what did i see? A HUGE lagging! I get 7fps at the main menu! And in game its same 7fps. What the f*ck? IV worked fine with my old crappy HD 2600. Like around 20fps.

 

I have a good pc. IV should go around 50fps.

 

for example, COD MW have easily over 100fps by now...

I think you use an old driver or the graphics driver from windows itselfs.

if so it can cause a huge low FPS, because the driver is not optimised for the newest games.

 

Try to update your Graphics driver on http://www.nvidia.com .

Install the lastast driver and try, it will increase you FPS for sure.

 

Do not expect the FPS will go over 40 FPS, because i Have a xfx 9800gtx+ Graphics card and i get on medium high setting only 35 FPS. This is very playable.

Just so you know IV will not play at 50 fps on that card. IV is still very demanding, and a 9800gt will get you around 30-40 fps with med-high settings. Don't expect to run it above 30fps at 1080p.

 

And also, uninstall and reinstall the newest drivers. Or install them over the existing ones. There could have been an error during installation.

 

Also, patch IV to 1.0.4.0, or 1.0.0.4. Unless you want online, I'd stay away from 1.0.7.0, because of a lot of bugs and performance issues.

Ok. I'll try to downdate it to 1.0.4.0 version. I allready reinstalled drivers..

 

E: Needless to say. Didn't work..

Sorry to hear man. I have no clue what else to tell you... did you reinstall the game before you patched it to 1.0.4.0? You can't just downgrade it. I'm sure you probably knew that though.

Problem solved. Oh f*ck, you really wanna hear what the problem was? I earlier install some ps3 controller mod that i can use ps3 controller. This time i dont use it and it laggs about that. I put controller in and phoom. Now i got 30fps on the game, and 120fps on menus. OH HELL, WHAT A STUPID PROBLEM, but im really relief that its gone. Thank you guys anyway.

That's a very odd problem you had. I use a PS3 controller as well (just got a PS3 3 days ago), and I hadn't experienced that. The only problem I had with it was getting it to actually work. Anyway, cool you got it fixed man.
