  1. yup it seems like the mods have some kinda script that tells em when something negative gettings posted.....

     

    I had a post deleted yesterday,wasnt nasty (admittedly it wasnt super helpful or constructive) but it was my honest opinion of the state of the farm right now,and these crazy idiotic frames...top hats anyone??? But I know you want constructive but sometimes I jsut dont have the time too fanny about with a pro's and con's,and this power does blah post.....

  2. Hello,

     

    Could you open task manager and select the "performance" tab and play some warframe with it open in the background? It will display the amount of load every core is under while you play. If you could tell us how much load they have on average it could help me narrow down the issue.

     

    Your CPU is very old and outdated, I suspect it is the cause.

     

    (Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9550 (12M Cache, 2.83 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) <- Is this your CPU?

     

     

    yea thats my CPU old I know and was gonna update soon,but like I said I can play all the latest games near on maxed the farm aint that good too warrant 300 quid for a new CPU.

     

    My CPU is averaging about 60% when Im playing,when I play mordor(yea I keep banging on about mordor but tbh Im still in shock how well it works on my comp) CPU load is about 80-90%,and smooth as butter 60fps.

     

    Just tried the farm again on dx9,no reflections,no bloom,basically no effects and still getting drops(well not drops)mainly stuck on 30-40fps.

     

     

    If your CPU is the bottleneck in warframe as I suspect, actually turning UP the settings in-game could help the poor performance.

     

    I've done some digging, and some people claim that if you have a CPU bottleneck (a situation where the CPU is holding your GPU from performing as well as it can) but have a powerful GPU, bumping up the settings in a game will trick the system into relying more on the GPU to get the job done.

     

    I haven't tried this myself, but it sounds like a plausible explanation as to why Titanfall and Shadow of Mordor seems to run smoothly on your system as opposed to Warframe as these titles are more grapahically intensive by default. Not saying Warframe isn't a system hog, dem late waves in endless missions are a system killer.

    Cheers buddy.

     

    Yea thats what Ive been finding as well,makes no sense what so ever tho.And my main game is warfarm.Lived with the low FPS till I played other stuff,now I cant stand the petrformance of it.

     

    Tried running in DX9?

     

     

    yes cheers mate no change still drops to 30 fps

     

     

    The problem is you're running a 7-8 year old CPU. I'm betting it's the Q6600 C2D quad core or something similar.

     

    This CPU was a damned good one in its day, but it's 4 generations out of date. This matters. A lot. It's bottlenecking an otherwise potent GPU.

     

    You could OC heavily and probably improve your performance significantly. The Q6600 was a very good OC'ing CPU. Still, the fundamental problem is it's old and obsolete.

     

    As an illustration of how obsolete, I'm running a i5 2500K (two generations newer than your chip, but hardly new) and a 580GTX GPU (roughly equivalent to your GPU) at 2560x1600 and I generally run at 60fps with occasional dips to the 40s when things get really hectic. I run maxed settings, but with reflections turned off (they're brutal) and AA turned off (don't need it at that resolution). The CPU does make that great of a difference.

     

    Your best bet--and you will have to do this eventually anyway--is upgrade the mobo and CPU to the Haswell generation of CPU. This is PC gaming and ultimately it's upgrade or die.

    Yea I know been looking at upgrading for a while,but upgrading for the sake of one game...I dunno yet.

     

    But OC'ing might be something Im intrested in,but Ive always been wary of even attempting it.Any sites with easy too follow instructions you or anyone else would recommend.

     

    Cheers!

  3. Cheers Rydian and Bazools!!

     

    Just asked some mates how they play on lesser spec PC's and they turn off local reflections,AA,bloom and character shadows.So I tried that and still the excat same fps drops.Like Ive turned nothing off ,the game just gives me the virtual finger!!

     

    And the guys I asked couldnt even dream of playing games like mordor,titanfall on their systems but I can.....

  4. sorry,forget about the mirage comment,this happens all the time no matter what the frame.It just gets worse with mirage.

     

    It gets worse the more enemies are on the screen,but I refuse to believe this has to do with my set-up.Well I used to think it was my set-up,but after my recent experiences with much newer,heavier spec games this is pointing to something else.

     

    Min specs from DE for the farm:

    Intel core 2 duo
    2gb ram

    ati radeon 3600

    (basically not a lot)

     

    min specs for mordor:

    intel core i5-570

    3gb ram

    radeon 5850

     

    so what am I missing here,is there an elephant in the room i cant see ;)

     

    Im gutted tbh,all I used too play was warframe with mates,but now I cant face going back too the 30 fps slideshow after seeing how great everything else works :(

  5. OK the tech stuff

     

    quad 2.8ghz cpu

    8gb g-skill ddr2 ram

    2gig 7870 gfx card

    asus p5q pro motherboard

     

    Im hardly touching warframe atm cause the fps goes from a steady 60 to 30.Cant even play a game with a mirage cause fps goes from 40-20.

     

    Ive tried different gfx drivers,even reinstalled the whole computer and only had the farm installed and still getting crap performance.Even changing the settings does nothing...

     

    Its been like this for ages and at first I though it was my PC and was living with it till I upgrade.But lately Ive bought some new games (mordor and alien isolation)and both games run at a constant 60 fps on highest/ultra settings.Ok this might not mean so much for isloation,but mordor is a busy game with lots of enemies on screen and lots of nice visuals with loads going on.Also titanfall runs at a steady 60fps on max settings.

     

    I dunno why Im posting cause (I think)Ive tried everything,but since playing all these latest games and thinking they were not gonna work that great cause of the way warfarm performs,only too find they do and work really well is kinda bugging the crap outta me.Whats so special about the farm??

     

    For some strange reason it just seems like warfarm doesnt like my set-up.Ive talked to other players who have worse set-ups than me but are getting no problems...Im lost!

  6. Basically ya get the message from lotus 'do you want to continue' at the end of the round but theres no option to select battle or quit,no U.I at all it just carries on into the next round.

     

    Gotta be something to do with the gustrag 3,cause the first 2 rounds the option came up,then after gustrag spawned it didnt.

  7. it cant stop me thinking how nice it would be too have another gorgon type weapon.The tag feature is alright,but would be so much better too have a rifle thats auto when not zoomed in,but zoomed in ya get a sniper type weapon rather than the tagging ability.

  8. Croytic mod set---Vicious frost---rime rounds----frostbite----frigid blast---475plat for the set(all mods are maxed)

  9. This is a great little bug,wasnt gonna post it cause its so good.

    Just as the round ended and Vor was 'dead' I mind controlled him.Then the next interception round started and I had Vor fighting by my side.

    q7h4Ymk.jpg

     

    As long as I kept him under mind control he couldnt harm me,which was lucky cause everyone I was playing with deserted me so it was just me and vor vs everyone.Dunno if it helps but it was my t4 interception key,and the guys that left said they got the message 'mission failed' even tho they left at the end of the round.

     

    After a while Vor got stuck here

    but could still inflict massive damage to everything.

     

    great bug DE one ya dont need too fix??
