So I just upgraded my system because I was hoping to be able to play this game higher than medium settings…but strangely enough my new system (which is much more powerful than my old one) runs the game worse .
Can anyone explain this to me?
Here’s just a rough description of the two systems (I will include a dxdiag file as well sop tech devs can review my current system too)
Old:
processor- amd athlon IIx4 processor (quad core) 3.0ghz
memory- 4gb
vid card- radeon hd 5570 1gb
New:
processor-AMD fx 6300 6 core 4.15 ghz
memory- 8gb
vid card- nvidia geforce gt 610 1gb (which isn’t a stellar card but it should be outperforming the old one)
This new mobo is much more efficient than my old one too and a much newer design. I’ve tried with and without overclocking, makes no difference. Just doesn’t make sense to me that an upgraded system would perform worse than an old outdated weaker system. And yes all drivers are up to date, I’ve run multiple stress tests and everything passes with flying colors. My processor is barely working at all while playing and occasionally my vid card will max out but it usually sits around 70%.
Just to note: I have tried the suggested “fixes” in the stickies on the forums, as well as most fixes I could find on Google. I managed to squeeze out a minuscule 2 more fps….Something is definitely wrong here
Well if your stuck with that as your system you can try to speed things up by killing background processes or adjusting windows settings to a lower less straining setup. To tell you the truth I have found that a program called game booster helped me emencly in both performance and framerate. The company also makes gaming peripherals too so thats a plus :-) here is a link / http://goo.gl/NrUCRl Hope it helps. Dont worry it is a free program.
