Frame Rate Weirdness

[DCypherThis13]

I recently upgraded my graphics card from a GeForce GT 440 with 1 Gb GDDR5 to a GTX 650 Ti with 2 Gb GDDR5. I was expecting an overall improvement in performance and that's what I got. There's just one issue; every time I start the game, my frame rate sits around 30(both in game and the UI) unless I minimize the game, then restore it. After that, I see a steady 60fps even in the Void.

 

Other system specifications:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz

RAM: 8Gb DDR3 1333

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

MB: ASRock 880G Pro3

 

Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

That's weird hmm. Are you using a TV as a monitor by any chance?

Yes, I am. A Sony Bravia 32" 720p. It is hooked up using an HDMI cable.

Ahh my Computer has one too except 1080p, Anyways I heard issues that using a TV as a monitor can sometimes lock the frame rate, usually it's to 24fps but maybe those 30fps are also the same problem, Try setting a custom resolution on Nvidia control panel.
