Lovejoy117 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) So when I first got this Asus Ultrabook, Warframe ran at full speed with all graphics turned up. This lasted about a week. As of 2 days ago, I am barely getting 20 FPS and there is a really bad delay in movements. What's going on? I tried resetting my computer multiple times, but nothing is working. Even running Warframe through Razer's Game Booster isn't helping. Here are my specs: 8GB Ram Intel inside CORE i7 NVIDIA Geforce 745m Windows 8 Edited October 16, 2013 by Lovejoy117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachles Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 If you don't already, enable multi-threaded rendering through your Warframe launcher. I had just recently been experiencing an FPS loss, but after doing that, it's helped tremendously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1RAT3 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You're running it on a laptop. That's the issue here. There's usually heat problems with graphics cards and most nVidia cards I know of have a "choke out" so they don't burn themselves out, usually at around 85C they start to bottleneck. It might help you to place your laptop in a cooler area or use one of those nifty coolers. Just keep it elevated. Also, if you don't have nVidia's auto driver updater thingamajigger, definitely get it. The problem could be caused by an update within warframe [like the multithread] placing too much strain on your gfx card. As just a general "should do this anyways" kinda thing, I'd recommend defragging, cleaning, fixing the registry and scanning for viruses/malware.

I know that usually causes a delay, but this is still happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps the temperature low at all times. I'm sure this laptop can handle Waframe, cuz it was running perfectly fine at first and the specs totally exceed the amount needed to run Warframe. Thanks for the advice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersKitteh Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Try turning off the new Runtime Tesselation in the options, that might be what is killing your fps for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheBlack1 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Just make sure all of your drivers are updated, and if they are then just wait for the next update to come out because it sounds like its a driver issue. I have similar, less powerful, gfx card than you do and I am not having issues (have the same ram and processor). My drivers are updated. Good luck!

Lovejoy117 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ok I figured out something. I tried opening the Nvidia control panel and was given this error: "you are not currently using a display attached to an nvidia gpu" Tried googling some things but everything says to uninstall the drivers. That sounds iffy. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pariahlord Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Try turning off the new Runtime Tesselation in the options, that might be what is killing your fps for you. or turning of dx11 completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybadger Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I did but when I tried reinstalling it, I got an error saying that I didn't have the required hardware. Wtf You have to download your drivers directly from your laptop manufacturer. The generic NVIDIA drivers wont work for laptops without some hacking. Unfortunately, it also means that they will be out of date, but what can you do? (answer: dont buy gaming laptops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarez Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Try disable DirectX11. It solved almost every problem about crashing my friends and I have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobafetthotmail Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) you appear to be running the game (and everything else on-screen) with the laptop's integrated graphics, which is brawny, but not a gaming powerhouse. And this is probably the cause of the fps drop. For some reason the Nvidia card seems to be offline as the driver installer can't detect it, which could be because of various reasons. I'm not that good with windows 8. I warmly suggest to head to http://www.eightforums.com/ They have plenty of experts (and tools and tutorials) that can help you out with these things. For free. I'm registered with the same nickame on Sevenforums, the version of that forum for Windows 7. Edited October 15, 2013 by bobafetthotmail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovejoy117 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 This has been solved! I had to update my BIOS to get the drivers working again. Now I can record gameplay at just about 60 FPS again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
