Re: Getting 15-20 LOW FPS for DA:I

Bump. Could my CPU be "bottlenecked"? I've seen this term floating around.

Again my system is:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz

GeForce GTX 750 Ti - latest Update (DA:I driver 344.75)

8 GB RAM

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 

Your CPU is extremely low end, and your GPU is very new. So yes, it's a distinct possibility. 

Okay, so I'd have to upgrade my CPU then? How much would that run me approximately? (Like $100-200 range?)

And despite it being on the low end, it is still .7 GHz above the minimum requirements for the game so should I not be running it fine?

This is a shot in the dark but you wouldn't have a gamepad plugged in by any chance would you? I had extremely bad slowdown and stuttering that was driving me crazy. Then for some reason when I unplugged my gamepad the game worked perfectly.

No I don't. Thanks for the suggestion though.

You would be looking at a minimum $300+ upgrade to meet reccomended specs. An I5 would run around $200+ and then a motherboard will run $120~200 for a good one.

I would give EA time to fix this monstrosity before upgrading anything. Your GPU will still be low end, but right at reccomended specs.

I am running a much higher end spec'ed machine and I am still struggling to get 60 fps on a single monitor with 2 highly over clocked GTX 780 classifieds.

If oyu dont mind, what FPS do you run with one GTX 780. I've been having massive FPS drops but only when I look into highly NPC populated areas... If i look at the ground or at a wall I get up to 60+ but as soon as i look into a town I dropp to like 12...

According to what I understand. that CPU was designed around a power-saving feature, like a laptop has, so there's a Turbo speed range it can shift into: 

http://ark.intel.com/products/42915/Intel-Core-i5-750-Processor-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz

Have you submitted a DxDiag previously?  I'm catching up on older (last evening) posts, and not scanning all the way to the top of every long thread. 

How would I go about shifting into that turbo speed?

And how do I post a DXDiag?

Thanks for getting to me, I know you have been busy

How to get DxDiag and put it in a Hastebin page:
http://answers.ea.com/t5/Titanfall/PC-Graphic-performance-issues-in-Titanfall-here-s-how-to-help-us/m-p/2454360#U2454360

You may not have to do a thing for the Turbo. other than being plugged into the wall, which on a laptop is required. and not be on the laptop's battery..  It may be fully automatic.  I'd reread the original PC "Getting Started" brochure or pamphlet to verify it. 

It is very early days for much in the way of a resident population of game players to find a new forum, and stick around.  That leaves a first week up to the old hands from DA: O, and ME-1, and NWN / KotOR / NWN-2 to see how many we can read. 

http://hastebin.com/ebitanacah.tex

Here is my dxdiag

I don't have that brochure. I'll just contact Intel Live support on how to turbo boost. But perhaps it has always been running (My hardrive is plugged into the wall) since I've never experienced low FPS problems before. 

What does the dxdiag tell you?

Not enough to do more than scratch the surface, but everyone can submit one, so it's a start (my initial comment to this thread was based on my perception tht you didn't use a mobile PC device, no matter what the CPU was -- is that incorrect, after all?) 

I don't know what you mean.

Its a regular desktop computer. Monitor seperate from a hardrive (or box) and both plugged into an outlet. Not a laptop if that is what you're asking.

Do the dxdiags then go to BIOWARE where they compile them for fixes?

If anyone from there collects anything from AHQ, I personally am not aware of it.  Way back when they were a new company (Bioware), they were a lot more visible! 

Then let us hope that this...forum is still considered by Bioware as it is by EA representative like yourself.

Please do not make any unwarranted assumptions.  The little "ea" symbol on top of my profile summary is what they offer, while making using anything else too much hassle for me to set up a better Avatar image.  I am retired, living on a fixed income, and I have been involved in imaginative virtual worlds since I first learned to read and found the daily "Flash Gordon" comics in the newspapers. 

Computers and I became acquainted several years after I got my Masters, and games on computers was a quick next step, over half a lifetime ago. 

I apologize for that assumption. Though you really are what an EA representative should be. 

Thanks for the help, I'm just worried that I have to upgrade my computer soon. And I don't have the finances to comfortably do so ☹️

You and I are both in that leaky rowboat!  Thank you for the compliment!

Hmmm?  The way that I read these threads, usually, is bottom-upward, so I was still "waiting" to review a DxDiag report in here.  Look what I have found: 

system Manufacturer: n/a
       System Model: n/a
               BIOS: n/a
          Processor: n/a (4 CPUs)

river File Version:  ()
     Driver Version:
        DDI Version: 11
       Driver Model: WDDM 1.1
  Driver Attributes: Final Retail
   Driver Date/Size: , 0 bytes
        WHQL Logo'd: n/a
    WHQL Date Stamp: n/a

Your Geforce drivers are totally missing, and your system has never determined for itself what your CPU is! 

Yes my CPU has always been like that. If I go to Computer properties everything will be N/A. My computer manufacturer could not determine why.

However, using scan programs like Crucial, and even another suggested by EA, I have determined that I have: 

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz

GeForce GTX 750 Ti - latest Update (DA:I driver 344.75)

8 GB RAM

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 

I have even installed new RAM and a new Graphics card and the info is still not avaliable but I know what I ordered from the computer place (part-wise)

But are you saying that my Computer may be slow because it can't recognize its own parts? (keep in mind, that I am able to run most games)

What it means is that your system is sufficiently outside the bounds of normalcy that its relationship to software is even more difficult to diagnose than the ordinary systems we know more about.  Long-distance trouble shootingt is already extremely difficult, and tools for doing it sufficiently esoteric, that ordinary volunteers sujch as myself will be nonplussed in cases such as yours.

I got an FPS down to 7, on a high-end Alienware M14xR2

http://hastebin.com/bezibayila.tex

same fps problem and freezing, it is starting to annoy

That makes sense. Though I rest upon the assumption that my computer is within the bounds of normalcy and that the information not being shown is due to a glitch in the system, a result of my computer's custom origin, blocked by AVAST, or a non-legit copy of windows installed (custom computer store supplied/didnt find out till later).

Given that I have not had any errors. And my system has performed well for many years, I just assume its a computer like all the others. With just some concealed information.
