Intel HD graphics - 30-60 secs pauses before every loading

[tohtamish]

I play in low PC at intel core i72600 with internal processor video, hd2000, first intel internal videos... But it's ok for me, but there is one big problem - 30 sec (as minimum) freezes before every loading screen. No HDD activity while this happens. Seems like some memory operations. Can it be somehow optimized? Want to hear answer for my question, not hardware recomendations.

The problem is likely the old Sandy Bridge graphics that freeze for minutes on Warframe.

If your computer is a desktop tower that allows PCI-E card upgrades, get a newer PCI-E graphics card like AMD Rx 550 4GB or NVidia GTX 1050 / 1650. If budget or case space is limited, maybe NVidia Gt 1030 GDDR5 which is still a whole lot better the old Sandy Bridge graphics.

YouTube videos may show how to install or upgrade graphics card. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=upgrade+PCI-E+graphics+card

Thanks for detailed answer. By the way there is still strange folder with dx9 drivers - in game folders. What for? 😃 I suspect they just removed dx9 from users but not from game. I don't understand why game engine is so closed for tewaks. Having read that this team was also making unreal engine - the most flexible and open for users tweaks engine. But warframe advanced settings are closed like top goverment secret.
