From experience I would say its your cpu, This game just isnt optimized to run on anything more than a quad.
I tried a 6 core cpu about a year ago and it literally halved my fps in most places on the game compared to an old Phenom 2.8ghz quad that would give me at least 40fps+.
Reason being is your using an 8 core cpu, this game cant make use of this so its literally only running off 4 cores on your 8 core cpu, these 4 cores are considerably smaller and not as fast compared to a dedicated quad core cpu.
My advice if your limited to the AMD chips like I am, Just buy an fx4300 or fx4350 (mine) which will likely fix your issues :]

Before the cries of “it’s the CPU” we are going to need a bit more info from the OP. He shouldn’t be getting only 18 FPS on lowest settings. The usual suspect is the video card not switching to x16 mode when the game fires up.

So what we need to help the OP is a screenshot of his graphic options, GPU-Z (1st page and sensor page) and CPU-Z while the game is running.

See in your 2nd picture, the one with GPU-Z on it’s main page. About halfway down the right side you will see a box labeled Bus Interface listing “PCI-E 3.0 x16 & x1 1.1”. That’s the problem. Instead of the CPU is talking to the graphics card using 16 PCI-E links, it’s using only one at the lowerest transfer rate. That’s 250MB/s Vs 8000MB/s.

What the solution is, I don’t know. The extreme measure is shut down the system, pull the card and reseat it in it’s slot, after making sure their is no debris in the slot and the edge connector on the card looks alright, no foreign objects/corrosion and the like. The slot you should be using is likely the x16 (long) slot closest to the CPU if your motherboard has several.

And of course make sure you have the “latest” windows certified driver for your card installed.

There are others who have had this problem and resolved it, they may come along with other options.

You could try disabling the frame rate limiter and running the game in Windows Fullscreen. I doubt that will make a difference but at least this way you can tab GPU-Z, CPU-Z on top of the game showing it’s settings all at the same time in a screen shot.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful than that.

Because for some reason, the card/driver doesn’t recognize the game needs the full bandwidth turned on. This is a power saving feature on modern video cards.

Like I’ve said it happens to other on occasion and I think the usual solution is making sure you have a stable up to date driver installed (with a clean install) and/or checking and reseating the physical card. I take it you’ve tried the obvious power the whole system down, not sleeping but shutting it off, and doing a proper reboot.
