It does meet the specs for MWO with the exception that I only have 4 gigs of ram (I think this game is spec'd for 8, right?)
Normally the game is perfectly playable. On the most optimized maps (HPG runs really well for me) i get 55 FPS.
On the majority of maps, i get around 45 FPS.
It does dip into the 30s at times, but it remains playable.
Frozen city has always been the worst with heat vision on. I typically got 25-30 FPS, although I had seem it dip as low as 18 for a second or two at a time.
Recently, I have had multiple games where it has dropped to around 8-9 FPS, with spikes or pure slide-show. I think this actually happens most of the time of frozen city now, so I am just playing with heat vision off, sadly.
None of the other maps seem to have been affected - I still get 55 on HPG and 45 on most of the rest except for when I'm really getting slammed by LRMs or something...
Frozen City heat vision, however, has really crapped the bed for me. I have played 100s of games on that map and I have never seen FPS issues anywhere near as bad as I have seen recently.
Has anyone else noticed a slowdown recently? The issue I am describing definitely isnt from todays patch, but maybe 1 or 2 patches ago.
If no-one else has noticed any changes, I will accept that my machine is just crapping out. I am building a new one anyways (waiting to see if the 900 series vid cards are any good, of if the prices of other cards drop once they come out).
But maybe something changed in the game?
Unrelated, but I know that the IFF bug has become more common again lately.
EDIT:
My settings are
1080p resolution, full screen
low everything, except object detail is medium
