Low fps

[Rennn]

For some reason, my Morrowind framerate is hovering around 10 fps. This is unacceptable. I have zero mods yet, so it's a purely vanilla game. I have a GTX 460, AMD Phenom II x4 at 3.2Ghz, 4Gb of RAM, and I run Skyrim on high settings with high fps. I used to run Morrowind on ultra with 200+ fps. I used the Overhaul 2.0 for a while, and even on high settings for that I still got 30 fps. I noticed the last few days that Morrowind was lagging on the Overhaul 2.0, so I thought I'd bugged the game somehow. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now, even without mods, my framerate is terrible. It's even worse (by far) than when I used the Overhaul 2.0, somehow. I have no idea what caused this. Is it a driver thing, do you think?

 

I haven't played Morrowind since two driver updates back, so that's all I can think of that's changed. Ideas? Known fixes? But it was better when I used the Overhaul 2.0, which makes no sense. Now even when I try to reinstall the Overhaul, it bugs at the final stage and won't work. It installed perfectly from the same disk on my friend's PC, btw, when we tested it.

Same here. Vanilla Morrowind and Seyda Neen starts from 11-16. Balmora is even worse.

 

When was this, you can run Morrowind with 200 FPS? I mean which hardware and OS? Do you remember?

It was with the same hardware and OS I have now: specs in sig and Windows 7.

It actually works for me again; I'm back at 250 fps indoors and 150 outdoors according to Fraps. :)

 

The problem was I uninstalled using Windows, and it broke something. I reinstalled Morrowind, uninstalled it through the option in the launcher, and then reinstalled, and now it's fine. I'm glad that's sorted out for me, because Skyrim is a little too buggy/stuttery right now.
