Fps Issues (Windows 8)

[Belier13]

Hello,

 

Until very recently, I used to play on windows XP where I didn't have any FPS issues.

 

I decided to upgrade to Windows 8, but I somehow managed to lose some RAM in the process (I only have 2G now),

in crowded area (mostly Towers actually) I suffer large FPS loss, going from 60+ to 30 and even 25. It truely affect my latron's fire rate as said on the wikia, I thought it was a myth, haha.

 

Well, I'd like to hear some suggestions about which GFX options I should turn down to greatly increase my FPS while keeping the game sexy as a pair of $*; here is my actual config:

 

 

Thanks guys!

Runtime tesselation, local reflections, shadow quality, dynamic lighting.  Those should give the better boosts if it's a GPU issue.

 

Specs, though?

GTX 650

4 * 2,5 Ghz

And like said above 2g of RAM.

 

On XP I had no FPS issues at all, but that was 2-3 months ago during which I haven't played warframe, so a combination of windows 8 + losing ram and tons of  Warframe updates probably justify the large loss, I'm going to try with those options turned off.

I gave it a shot on Pluto's interception, after getting ingame I remember this is where my FPS drop is the most noticeable.

 

Well it didn't appear to change much, topping at 40 and often staying around 30, I even tuned pretty much every GFX option down and my FPS never rised. The game now looks like dog poo and my FPS is still S#&$. I'm tempted to say the problem doesn't come from me as I play many other games in highest settings.

Im having a similar problem to this, happening ever since update 15.1. I also have Windows 8. Anyone know how to fix it?

I doubt this is a graphical problem for you.

You don't just "lose" RAM. Crack it open and see if you have a dead stick.

Did you check to see if the windows 8 BIOS/drivers are out there from the manufacturer of your motherboard?

What are your actual specs?

Operating System? 8, 8.1, 32bit, 64bit?

Proceesor? Number of cores/threads?

RAM type DDR1, 2, 3?

You upgraded from XP to Win8 ? When did you get that computer? Was the motherboard designed for XP or was it more recent?

 

 

I wouldn't jump that far in between systems without at least getting compatible hardware, last time I jumped from Vista to 7, all hell broke lose on my motherboard.
