I really hope to get an answer here, I became an instant fan boy after playing the beta, everything worked great for me, I had decent FPS with everything on high. There were posts complaining about fps being terrible, I never really had it that bad. Then a patch came that was a miracle FPS patch. those who were vocal had their problems solved. Then the game launched and I and many other users have had terrible FPS. I used to run 30-50 on high, now I run 20-40 with every tweak possible and on the lowest possible settings.

people with lesser hardware run the game like champions, while people with top of the line stuff run even worse then me.

So does TWI acknowledge this as a problem that they can fix, or are they blaming this on hardware now?

We have acknowledged a CPU issue. It is something we are fixing. It's just not a quick fix...

Surely it's not just a CPU problem. My GPU usage actually lowers in more taxing areas of the game, when it was never that great to start with (I'm extremely lucky if my usage even scrapes 30%!).

THe GPU is bottlenecked by the CPU. If the CPU doesnt get the full usage, the GPU will not either.

FOr example say you have a low end CPU and then you have a 700 dollar video card. That video card will run as fast as the CPU does.

I got a 955 @ 3.6 with 2 460s superclocked, cpu usage never wants to go above 60% for this game..justs likes to hang out at 40%. The game is bottlenecking itself. No other game has done this on my pc

That's -exactly- what people are saying.

The game isn't running properly on certain chipsets. It's the game's fault. It's not taking advantage of the horsepower available. Because it's not taking full advantage of the CPU properly, the GPU isn't being used properly either, hence massive performance issues all around.

They're fixing it. Be patient.

You're lucky I have a Nvidia and it's the worst perfoming game of this year, imo :(

This is because the gpu isn't getting any data from the cpu. Hence our cpu issue...

Having this problem too. GPU usage ~30-40% whilst CPU usage is ~60-70%. In the main menu GPU usage reaches 90% and more. Weird.

glad you guys have tracked down the problem. i have two GTX460's @ 800/1600/400, powered by a Core i5 @ 4Ghz and the game is a stutter fest and constant fps drops. i just pray this cpu issue you talk of is the culprit!

It's not weird, loading the game menu isn't as cpu-whore as the game when you are playing.
