Very low FPS on a very good PC

[Jacknif]

Hi,

 

2 Days ago i wanted to play some FO3 again and mod it to the max, but after testing it.. my fps where terrible... 24-30 FPS outside and some drop to 19-21 FPS with AA and AX disabled and without blur or anything but the things is can run BF4 on ultra so i don't get it, and yes it's with the vanilla games so no ENB and no texture pack, and yes i've tried ENBoost and a lot of tweak for FO3 and i have also tried to reinstall the games.

 

I don't what to do :confused:

Up !

Up, i've tried many tweaks but ...

Need your load order and PC specs.

Need your load order and PC specs.

 

It's the vanilla games and i have :

 

AMD Phenom II Quadcore 3.2gh/z

AMD 7870 2GB OC Edition

8 GB of ram

Western Digital : 500 GB

An older HDD : 149 GB where FO3 is installed

Thanks for posting your info. I'm thinking that the culprit is that old HD you mentioned. FO3 is an open world game so it loads textures from the HD on the fly. If the HD is slow then you would get slowdown.

This lacks history, we don't know for instance what else has been done to that PC prior to running an already installed game, "did it run before at better FPS?"

have you installed other games? history, tells us what was installed, over written and seem system files get updated / changed that once were required by the older game....which may in fact be a hindrance now.

 

this kind of information also helps us, help YOU.

if you install a resident root commanded program, for any games or software out of needing something to fix it ,some times this makes things much much worse.

 

history remove the guess work for us. I have had all instances of good and bad with fallout3, so many different ways and outcomes.

Currently transferring data off of one drive to another because the drive that responds the best is isolated from all the rest, and it was full.

the brand new drive is now the storage drive in favor of what is known BY me that works best. The hardware makes all the differences too. But is not always the cause. installed software is a major cause of bugs.

On this HDD i also have BF4/Insurgency and it's running just fine, so i don't think it's because of the HDD.

Oh okay, i woke up, brush my tee... just kidding. :p

 

Seriously tho : I had this HDD unused for some times and i've cleaned/defrag that HDD multiples times and yes it was running at a smooth 60 FPS before, i did not much on that hardrive so there is no really any history exepect that i may had some troubles installing on this HDD because they was no programs files (x86) and (etc..) maybe it's because of this, so i'll just try installing it on my trusty hard drive where i have pretty much everything.

 

Thanks a lot ! I will post if this is working or not.

So yeah, it does nothing, i am going to unistall everything like .ini and save even tho that's not going to do much..

If you have the space? I have a solution, it requires thought. persistence, and good attitude.

you might need to change some things, habits, and the way you mod the game.

So, it goes as this: once it ran fine, now, it does not. so then what was installed into the game? that could have change any of this?

 

From above, I can assume nothing. just some how stopped faster pacing "frames per second" or it quit the smoother operating condition the game had at one time.

 

installed and un-installed the game a few times by now and still the same results....there for...it's not the game, but rather something the game uses.......there are a tone of files the game may be using or there may be something added now that was not there before that is targeting the game outright.

 

networking data, a files possibly installed that will not get "Uninstalled if the game is even removed. Changes made to the system in an effort to over come some obstacle?

 

you didn't do this but in a way did.

one such "example " is the mod patch UUf3p...it installs as an executable and also installed settings that are permanent to the system.

look into the windows directory and the system32 directory ,locate and eradicate all instances of that installed patch works. remove any files seen i the program menus, you will in fact find a listing for a mouse driver "FIX".

 

this is way too far for Fo3. it's not mandatory either. The data is not from the game install but can mess it up.

 

Ok....get an iso imager program. imageburn, and install it. then install iso magic's DVD runner.

chose the correct version for your system.

 

install only the game...then contact me and I'll give you the rest of the required xlive data, so that game will run with out question.

smooth as silk. this data goes into the root of the fresh game installed prior to init of the game. : nut's I gotta go, I'll be back later on.....I have to go back to work.
