Frame Rate Drops in NFS Most Wanted PC

I too have this problem. It's really annoying and it's always the same parts that stutters. In the city it's stuttering down to 20-30 fps while driving in the mountains runs flawlessly. This is on 1920x1080 with the maximum settings available in game.

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9

Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 OC 3GB

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

you've hit it on the nose. The game is not properly utilzing hardware and the framerate is poor even with lowered settings.

Same problem - severe stuttering - game completely unplayable ☹️   fix please 

Same problem. FPS are dropping in certain scenes. Especially in the scenes where he has smokes. An urgent update!
My PC:
core i5 2500
GTX 560
8gb ram ddr 1333
1080p video

Same issue here (like all player in the world... even journalist)

My config :

- Windows 7 64 Bit.

- Intel I5 2500K

- SLI : MSI 660-Ti Power Edition

- 8 Go DDR-3

- 850 Watts

Note one thing, the performance are exactly the same if i play in 1080p/all seeting in max or if i play in 720p all seeting in low. Nothing change. 60 FPS drop frequently to 40-45 FPS with no apparently reason. Rumour talking about [CPU thread limited poor optimisation] because all our CPU are not use in 100%. Mine for exemple, use only 2 Thread when the game run, and max using up to only 45% !

REALLY UNPLAYABLE.

I am using MSI Afterburner for resource monitoring and fraps for fps.

I think it has some bug  with GPU and CPU usage.When in city the GPU usage is around 30-45% and CPU is always around 45-55%

BUT when i get out of the city driving some highways it climbs up to 60-75 GPU usage and solid 60 fps!

That GPU usage should be opposite like.. 70-80% in city and 30-50% highways and outskirts.

im getting unplayable studdering with a pc that is well beyond recommended specs!

Platform - PC Windows 7

GPU - GTX480 4 Way SLI (Game even studders with SLI OFF in single card mode)

I should EASILY be able to handle this game. I can run Battlefield 3 with max setting and still get 150 fps uncapped! Please help!

I am having the same issue's and am running the recommended specs.

I can get it to run at 60fps if I downgrade the settings but it is constantly stuttering regardless of settings.

Thanks.

Yes me too. Really disappointed as the last game I bought from Criterion was Burnout Paradise which flew on the pc on average systems (which is why I bought this game). I have a high end system and it is just unplayable at times.

All Gamers care about is a smooth fast playing experience not fancy graphics.
