Frame Rate Problem
Currently I have been suffering from severe frame rate drops (usually at 60, now at 15-20) from games I have never had problems with. I have changed the settings from high to low for multiple games and it makes no difference. It started to happened earlier this week and I have no idea what is causing it.
I have tried multiple things and out of frustration I did a clean install of windows last night and brought it back up to speed but my problem is still there.
I am out of ideas and I am wondering if you guys have any advice on what to do. Currently I am monitoring for overheating.
Some system specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5CPU @ 2.13GHz 2.13GHz
Installed Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
System Typed: 64-bit Operating System
Graphics card NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 650M

Re: Frame Rate Problem
Been running different games most of the day and my PC's temperatures were good, no overheating. Many games suffered from the problem, even things like Binding of Isaac and Cave Story+. I did notice that all of the Source Engine games ran completely fine. I was at 50-60 while playing TF2 with minor tearing and the Portal games ran without any problems. I am really confused by all this, its like Valve is sabotaging my other games for a complete monopoly of playtime. DUN DUN DUUUUUN.

Re: Frame Rate Problem
Maybe is a problem with drivers? Have you updated your video card drivers lately?

Re: Frame Rate Problem
Yup, nothing is out of date. I am thinking it is a hardware problem now but I first have to figure out what before I decide to replace anything.Uber! wrote:Maybe is a problem with drivers? Have you updated your video card drivers lately?

Re: Frame Rate Problem
do you have a backup or old video card to try to swap out? otherwise it could be pretty hard to figure out.darklin0 wrote:Yup, nothing is out of date.

Re: Frame Rate Problem
No but I do have a friend with a similar model I can ask for some help.Gizanked wrote:do you have a backup or old video card to try to swap out? otherwise it could be pretty hard to figure out.darklin0 wrote:Yup, nothing is out of date.

Yep, I have tried different settings from high to low. The problem persists no matter the setting and what is on or off.Earthworm James wrote:check/adjust vertical sync, buffering & advanced graphics options?
Peahats suggested to Verify the game cache and it has worked so far for Borderlands 2. Trying it now for other games.

Re: Frame Rate Problem
Stupid solution here, but just in case, when was the last time you dusted off your video card and fans? Most video cards will slow down if dust is allowed to build up. I had this issue somewhat recently and took a can of air to my fans, sped everything up considerably.
This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

Glad it worked, steam will sometimes just kinda break your games, guess that's why they have that feature.darklin0 wrote: Peahats suggested to Verify the game cache and it has worked so far for Borderlands 2. Trying it now for other games.
That's just really good advice in general, you don't wanna end up like me and have a broken gpu fan for 4 weeks.Zork Nemesis wrote:Stupid solution here, but just in case, when was the last time you dusted off your video card and fans?

Re: Frame Rate Problem
That was one of the first things I tried, I did find a random dust bunny in a vent.Zork Nemesis wrote:Stupid solution here, but just in case, when was the last time you dusted off your video card and fans?

Yup, I was beginning to lose hope. A replacement GPU would only be possible in 6 months.
