I probably avg. about 60-70 FPS
i do get more range in this game then most.
i can drop to 20 or so sometimes but it's just spikes from time to time never stays that way. just a quick 1/2-3 sec. drop. Mostly when entering new areas(buildings), or arty in my area.
Maybe a new vid card would help you a bit, but i have seen a lot of talk about this game being heavy on the CPU.
Temps. for me indicate this is true, as my vid card is generally a good 8-10c less then in other games.
In general though there has been a lot of FPS issues for many people regardless of CPU/Vid card.
I've seen posts from people with almost same rigs getting seriously different FPS in game.
I removed the frame smoothing option and got about 8-10 more fps.
I have all the settings on High
with bloom and ambi light turned off.
(ambi for fps, bloom so i can see uniforms better)
Also the other day(after latest update), in game i decided to drop my res to 1080 from 1200.
While in game.
My FPS went to poo, dropped to a range of 17-30 at best.
Put it back to 1200 and the fps went right back to the 60 range.
So obviously they are still working out some kinks.
i would wait until a month after game release to get any new hardware for this game. they make improvements that get your FPS up without new hardware.
If you do need hardware still at that time I'd look to the vid card first as the CPU you have is on par with mine(yours has some newer features/optimizations, mine has a higher clock speed).
But do wait it out, beta is not the thing to base your plans on.
Dude, I found your problem. You need to upgrade your case.
Oh and he may be right, but you should try painting some flames on the side first. Everyone knows flames make it go faster
