Performance issue, very bad FPS and FPS drops
Hi, I have a problem with Need For Speed Rivals : I get some serious FPS drops, it is unplayable, why is it unplayable when I could play BF3 on Max settings and BF4 on Medium/High ? Also, there's no...

Psychic717 - Are you experiencing the same graphical issue as the one described here (see picture?)
No, not that.
What I get is ground texture changing back and forward.
Until now I only noticed that happening where there are what seems to be "crop fields" (vegetation divided in squares?).
On the north of the map we can see those. I raced through there and those "crop fields" (not sure if that's the name) would change their texture back and forward.
Maybe there are other places, I haven't played the game very long.

TEXTURE PROBLEMS
There was already a post with the texture issue that we are having.
There is a youtube video posted in that thread that shows exactly what is happening. Again, for me this happens when I go into offline mode with Origin, but then it happened when I went back into online mode but chose single player as my game type. I "fixed" it by changing the game type to online, then switching back to single player.
FPS PROBLEMS
The game has micro stutters a lot, there is no one specific location for this, maybe it's worse when traffic is loaded and cops start to chase you, but it's really hard to tell when it is worse. Turning down the graphics options to minimum do nothing for me, turning down everything to low doesn't even increase the FPS. The game runs at a solid 30 FPS everywhere, although it still stutters, except for the following:
Bad Stutters:
Last Stalion Ranch
FPS Drops and looks like Slow Motion (obviously because the game speed is tied to the FPS as seen when you increase to 60):
Safe house just south of Lagoon Trail FPS drops to around 22
Just East of Gullwing Drive in the area with all the buildings and Giant Burger.
This game is near impossible to troubleshoot without any PAUSE function (PLEASE I beg you add a pause function in Single Player mode!). Even if I am just sitting there, cops come and bust me, I'm trying to test the FPS in different areas, but trying to change graphics settings while moving and getting chased down is very frustrating. I have beta tested for developers before, and this is by far the most difficult game to do it in.
My system specs are:
AMD Phenom X4 965
8Gb DDR 3 1600 RAM
GTX 660 SC
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
I hope this is enough information. I'm glad EA has at least addressed us.
