Re: Low FPS after new hard drive

Okay, I managed to solve my problem by myself. If anyone else is having similar issues, this is what I did (Nvidia GPU):

1. Open up the Nvidia Control Panel (right-click on the shortcut of the game for faster access, then mouse over "run with graphics processor", click on "change default graphics processor"

2. in "Manage 3d Settings", click on "MassEffect2.exe" under where it says "Select a program to customize".

3. Click Add. It should open up your Libraries at this point. Go to your game folder (C:/Program Files (x86)/Origin Games/ Mass Effect 2/Binaries). Double click "ME2Game" to add that to the default launch.

4. Where it says "Select the preferred graphics processor for this program", click on the dropdown menu and select High-performance Nvidia processor. Click Apply to finalize changes and it should work.

Feel free to lock this thread now.

    Sorry to unbury an old thread but I had a similar problem that was resolved in a different way. My issue is that I couldn't get 60 FPS in windows PERIOD. Not in games, not on youtube, not even the mouse cursor would move to 60 FPS and this started when I upgraded to an SSD. 

    The way I fixed it, which was found because of OPs fix, was to go to the Nvidia control panel and under display on the left hand side I hit change resolution and in that menu I changed the refresh rate from 30 to 60. I don't know why it wasn't set to 60 automatically and nothing I could do would make that happen on its own. Perhaps because I have an off-brand 65" 4K TV I got on Black Friday for $228. 

    Either way I was happy to get this issue resolved and wanted to help anyone else possibly looking on Google like I did to find this thread. Here's an image to help those who have trouble following my instructions.
