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...

Thank you very much for taking the time to capture screenshots of the spots where the frame rate always drops. I'm running an overclocked 3970X, coupled with an also overclocked 780Ti and experience the frame rate dips in the very same spots. Those places near the water, with the palm trees are the worst offenders in my opinion. Interestingly enough, both GPU and CPU usage are very low at those spots, hovering around 20%. Therefore, it's crystal clear that the problem has nothing to do with the hardware you're using, but the game engine in itself.
Wow! I thought it *might* be my hardware, but this is sort of good to know, that even I7's with crazy good video cards are having the same issues. No point in upgrading I guess, at least not for this game, it's amazing they got it to run at all on consoles!
I'm trying to be curteous to EA so they will continue to fix the game, however flawed it may be. They have been monitoring these forums - yelling at them will not help, they probably won't listen. I still could potentially enjoy it on a certain level, again for what it is. I'm not overly concerned with the 30 FPS limit, I can deal with that, it's the fact it doesn't run at 30FPS with mid-high end PC's. I also don't think it was wroth the $50 price tag on pre-order. The pause issue is almost a game breaker though, and it is for many, many people.

No improvement with the patch. The beach area and others still slow down by 25-33%.
Could it be somthing like water texture programinng? Is there any common conection to the slow downs ive seen a few on ps3, one near the lighthouse and the cop HQ
The patch made no improvements. I tried running the game in windowed mode. Every time the game freezes I alt+tab to another window and the game stops freezing but when i go back to the game it freezes up again.
The problem is may be at "breakble objects" like there are too many items down the stairs at the beach.. There are like 300-400 chairs/tables columns which are breakable objects... Also at the supermarket area there are many shopping carts also.. ?
Thanks again EA and Ghost for the useless patch and for not caring at all about the PC. Is it that hard to fix that game?

THIS!!!!!! I also get minor slowdown in areas with lots of breakable barricades. This might be the unoptimized element that is slowing all of our games down!I have to say that nothing is better than before since the patch. But now I have serious problems with popping objects like cops, other cars, environment and stuff. Even the Host Migration does not work correctly sometimes. If you gamed for 500.000 Speed Points and the game hangs the complete computer and a DirectX error is shown in the background this sucks big EA! I had not even 2 hours of gaming where this game does not hang, reboot, or error on something and I can confirm that it is not my machine, so guess what? It's a software problem!
Thanks for the free new car, but it would be better to fix the bugs first before doing in-game commercial for Ford!
the new patch got me about 4 frps more than before in certain areas (still to laggy 😕mileysad🙂, but the places that you mentioned are unplayable.
I thought of this either...especially in the area with the harbour there are plenty of objects.
But then I found other areas where the framerate drops are as bad and there were exactly 4 objects with physics on the screen. 4 small gate parts ^^
So I don't think that this is the problem : /For those of us who returned the game and were waiting for a patch to fix the problems, I gather based on the recent posts in this thread that this update has not been a solution - is this correct?
Thanks.
Yup hasnt done much 😕mileysad: hopefully there will be another patch soon.
