Frame rate drops more and more over time!

[Mcsalmon]

Hello,

 

So I have a Asus Directcu II GTX 580 with an i5 quad core (3.3ghz) and 8gb of RAM. I have a Samsung F1 1TB drive with Windows 7 Home Premium.

 

I can play Witcher 2, Rage, Crysis 2 (with DX11 and Hi Res textures) and Dead Space 2 with max settings with over 60fps. In FNV I get over 120+ fps with max settings and the NMC's Hi-Res Texture Pack.

 

I bought the game from the shop so my issue is not related to steam. I play with these mods;

 

[X] FalloutNV.esm

[X] Project Nevada - Core.esm

[X] HonestHearts.esm

[X] OldWorldBlues.esm

[X] LonesomeRoad.esm

[X] DeadMoney.esm

[X] IWS-Core-Guards.esp

[X] IWS-Core-Civilians.esp

[X] RCSS.esp

[X] Purge Cell Buffers.esp

 

I am having this problem in which after 15-20mins the frame drops considerably to less than 30fps. I can then exit the game and it will play amazing for 15-20mins again and then drop it doesn't matter if I am indoors or outdoors the framerate drops completely. I don't know what to do.. I have used the d3d9.dll because I was having constant crashes which this fixed. However having to play with these awful framerate is making the game unplayable and I am sick of exiting and restarting the game 3 times an hour!!

 

I have played with the 'New Vegas Configurator' but don't know what I am doing.

 

I don't understand why it is going at 120+ for so long and then suddenly dropping? I have looked over the internet and have only seen a few people with a similar problem but I cannot find a solution. I don't have this problem with any other game and the ones I've listed are considerably more GPU and CPU intensive. As you can see I tried to use Purge Cell Buffers but it doesn't work.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I have a very similar problem, my fps is decreasing over time. In my case restarting the game doesn't work. Somehow the low fps is in my save file. If I enter a building and go outside again, my fps is high again and I can play for some time until it's too low again, in which case I need another loading screen to "reset" my framerate. It really sucks in Honest Hearts because I couldn't find any loading screens, so after about an hour of playing I was stuck with 10 fps. I tried the PCB stuff and looked all over the internet, and this was the only thing I could find about a similar problem.

 

Edit: O man just after I made this post I found the problem, I disabled the depth of field mod I was using, loaded a crappy save and my fps was as it should. Been struggling with this for a week now so I feel kinda stupid for not finding this earlier. I see no similar mod in your mod list but maybe you have some kind of a DOF thing under a different name, disabling that probably works.
