Re: Frame Rate Drops in NFS Most Wanted PC

I noticed another intresting thing, start up a multiplayer game for friends only, drive around a bit and you'll notice the fps is better everywhere. It still drops, but not as much as public multiplayer or singleplaer.

    EA fix please 

  • Same issue, the framerate drops turn a beautiful fun game into a stuttering nightmare. just not playable at the moment even on low settings.

    And my pc isnt exactly slow.

    Intel 3960x @ 4.1

    32 gigs XMP ram @2133

    3 way sli with 3 680's

  • Same problem here. My specs are

    Gigabyte Sniper x58 chipset

    i7 930 running @ 4.2Ghz

    2x gtx 580 sli

    12GB 2000MHz DDR3 RAM

    3TB +2TB + 1.5TB SATA ii 7200rpm HDD

    1000W Corsair PSU

    I have noticed that the game plays smoothly when the frame rate is at 60fps but noticed considerable stuttering when it dips to the low 40s. I have played many many other games at lower frame rates which appear much smoother than the stutter I am experiencing with this game, including need for speed the run, which initially when released had a cap of 30fps. Usually, an fps in the low 40s should appear silk smooth unless you have extraordinary eyesight which I dont think I have. The only other cause I can think of from the back of my head is that the same image is being refreshed multiple times. Usually, every time the monistor display is refreshed, a new image is displayed on the screen. However, in this game, I beileve the same image is being refreshed multiple times, hence the stutter at a relatively high framerate. Also, If vsync is internally enabled, for some reason, it is allowing the same frame to pass through and be displayed on the refreshed screen instead of waiting for a new frame to be generated. Otherwise there is no way I can get such stuttering at such a high framerate. I do hope they do fix it. Personally, i would not have released the pc version in such a state, but each to their own i guess.

    The same problem - up to 60fps on the outskirts, but below 30fps in the city, stuttering everywhere. My PC is no that new but I managed to play HP2010 & The Run on medium-high settings without any problem, MW is unplayable (almost) even on the lowest possible settings. I tried on different resolutions no difference.

    I managed to get extra fps by disabling audio reverbation and it's really noticable but still poor performance ☹️


    CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 440

    GPU: GeForce 9800GT

    4GB RAM

    newest nvidia drivers, tried on beta as well, no difference

    My game is down to like, 11 in the outskirts and 5 frames per second in the city, especially when a speed camera goes off.
