DJ_Redwire Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) I've been experiencing large FPS drops as of late, and while I can't remember exactly when they started to happen, they seem to have started right around 15.3, or in one of the following hotfixes. My specs are the following: Warframe: Computer: Processor Intel® Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz Manufacturer Intel Speed 2.4 GHz Number of Cores 8 CPU ID BFEBFBFF000306A9 Family 06 Model 3A Stepping 9 Video Card 1 NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M Manufacturer NVIDIA Chipset GeForce GT 650M Dedicated Memory 2.0 GB Total Memory 3.9 GB Pixel Shader Version 5.0 Vertex Shader Version 5.0 Hardware T & L Yes Vendor ID 10DE Device ID 0FD1 Plug and Play ID VEN_10DE&DEV_0FD1&SUBSYS_05781028&REV_A1 Driver Version 9.18.13.4475 Video Card 2 Intel® HD Graphics 4000 Manufacturer Intel Chipset Intel® HD Graphics Family Dedicated Memory 1.9 GB Total Memory 1.8 GB Pixel Shader Version 5.0 Vertex Shader Version 5.0 Hardware T & L Yes Vendor ID 8086 Device ID 0166 Plug and Play ID VEN_8086&DEV_0166&SUBSYS_05781028&REV_09 Driver Version 10.18.10.3412 Memory 8.1 GB Operating System Microsoft Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit Service Pack 0 Size 64 Bit Edition Basic Version 6.2.9200 Locale 0409 BIOS A16 Version Dell Inc.

They tend to have a wave-like pattern to them, with my FPS and even sometimes audio (distortion and stretching) speeds rise and fall in a somewhat consistent pattern of about 7-8 seconds of low FPS (anywhere from 10 to almost zero FPS) then 2-3 seconds of normal FPS (my computer tends to hover around 50-60 on average days). I have not installed or run any new software in several weeks, and software that I've already been running for a long time in the very least that I thought might be contributing to this (virus protection, 3rd party music programs, background internet apps, etc.) I have disabled in an effort to try and isolate the problem. To which there was no change in Warframe's performance. I have also tested things on multiple different internet connection speeds, ranging from good to poor, and the results were the same across all. My computer is also not working any noticeably harder to run Warframe (heat) in the recent weeks since this problem arose. All in all, this has led me to believe the core of the issue does not reside with my computer at large. The other possibility I am looking into currently is the chance that the updates to my graphics card software (NVIDIA GeForce) could perhaps be the cause of the issue, but I have yet to find any evidence of such, as my other games have not been experiencing any performance issues that I've noticed. One thing I noticed while changing my in-game Warframe display settings, was that when I lowered the quality of several display settings, namely anti-aliasing, the frame rate issues actually got worse instead of better. Needless to say that seemed pretty strange to me. Thanks for reading, and if there's any info that might be helpful to anyone that I left out, please feel free to ask.

DJ_Redwire Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Just a quick follow up on this: I am still experiencing the same issues after todays (15.5) patch. Turning off Dx11 and 10 has reduced the issue to a manageable level luckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
