Very Poor Performance (NFS 2015 PC)

Since I have bought NFS for the PC I have experienced some horrible framerates that made the game almost (or completely) unplayable.  I am running an overclocked AMD FX 8320 Processor on 4.5 GHz x8 ...

    This is something I would have to forward to the devs. Which I will do for you now. As for an ETA when something like this could be patched, at the moment I don't have that information available.

    Thanks again for coming back to this thread. As mentioned, I will forward what we've discussed here. Have a good evening.. 🙂

We both actually have a very similar system. At home I am running the game, without issues, on the same CPU, GPU and SSD. The only difference here is that the size of my SSD is 250GB and I am running Windows 10. Your system should have no issues running the game so we have to dive deeper into what could be causing this..

I do have several more options that you could try:

  • Turn off Origin in-game
  • Do perhaps have an ASUS motherboard? I've seen two reports that the GameFirst app running on some of these motherboards caused fps issues for players

Lastly, do check out our main PC troubleshooting thread to see if there is anything in there that you missed.

Well, it turns out that CrossFire is, in fact, one of the issues. By turning it off I can now get around 50FPS sometimes, but it's still frustrating to play, since the game stutters uncontrollably, and is still scooping down to 30. I am a bit torn about wether or not just one of my cards would be able to run NFS on low settings, at least I suspect it should. But even if that's the case, there is a reason I am running a crossfire setup, so it'd be really great if you could forward the problems people are having with crossfire to the development team. 

Apart from that, though, I still feel like there is something shady going on. I get that just running one 270x isn't exactly going to get you ultra graphics, but the stuttering is quite odd. Especially when acceleraring, the game freezes for a few frames at a time, sometimes miscalculating the client-side placement of the car, causing me to crash, which is even more frustrating than having to deal with constant, low FPS.

    Since we run such a similar system, I checked my graphical settings for you:

    • Texture, Shadow, Geometry and Effects: Medium
    • Vertical Sync: enabled
    • Anti-Aliasing: Off
    • Motion Blur: Off
    • Occlusion: SSAO
    • 1920x1200 on 60Hz
    • XB1 controller

    I get the occasional FPS dip, but that is to be expected. I do not get any stuttering. Since the issue doesn't seem to be technical related (other than Crossfire, which together with SLI is to sometimes cause such issues in a multitude of games), I don't have further troubleshooting available. My suspicion still goes out to a background program running on your system that is causing the stuttering. Worst case scenario: you could do a fresh Windows installation or upgrade to W10.

      Thank you for your support anyways!

      Effectively, I think the only real problem that you guys could help me solve would be the issue with crossfire. All other stutters and issues are things I can propably fix on my own, seeing as there is quite a bunch istalled on my PC. 

      Do you guys know when there could be a patch fixing errors connected to AMD and crossfire? The same issue was fixed with games like NFS Rivals and NFS Most Wanted, so I am pretty confident there could be a fix in sight.
