So as the title implies I am having some performance issues.

The games runs smooth (30,40 fps) on high detail for about 10-20 minutes, after that it begins to suddenly drop to 7,8 frames for 1 or 2 seconds and returns to 30,40 and so on. Zone does not count. This goes on until I restart the game.

I tried everything:
-Installed multiple driver versions
-I limited the maximum frames to 30. Enabled/disabled vsync. Enabled/disabled triple buffering vsync ( Basicly I played with all available video options both ingame and from the vcard panel)
-Disabled CPU parking
-Repaired game files

If anyone has a simmilar experience or has a fix please let me know.

P.S my dxdiag:

Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Processor: AMD FX™-6100 Six-Core Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Display Memory: 4049 MB
Dedicated Memory: 977 MB
Shared Memory: 3071 MB
Current Mode: 1920 × 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)

Thanks

Double check your temps. It seems like either your CPU or GPU are throttling down because of intense temperatures. This would result in decreased performance as you have experienced, then when the temperatures are back in the ‘OK’ zone, your hardware goes back to normal operation. It sounds like you might be just on this threshold between the ‘OK’ zone and the Danger Zone =D

Thank you very much for your answer and interest, unfortunately it is not a temp issue. None of them goes above 40 °C

  • Monitor your CPU/GPU load, look at the graph when the lag starts occuring. (See Part 4.1 for tools)
  • Check 3rd party or background tasks
  • Re-install your OS
