Any Suggestions To Improve Fps?
#1
Posted 23 April 2013 - 06:27 AM
AMD A6 3650 at 2.6GHZ (quad core, I think)
Radeon 6730 GPU
8G RAM
Connection is 12 down, 1 up
On low settings, I was getting in the mid 20s FPS before the 4/2 patch. Now, it is 12-15. I know my connection is terrible. That will be improving in the near future, but would that alone improve FPS? What other suggestions do you have?

Try to get a disk cleanup program with a function to increase the speed.
My laptop is a three year old Toshiba, but it does have a function for a gaming mode. Before I did the disk clean up I was shutting down due to heat issues. Now post clean up, I have not shut down to heat yet. I would shut down in mech lab if I spent 3 minutes in it and that is why I did the clean up after the patch in the beginning of the month.

No, the DX11 API is inclusive of DX9 which also makes it backwards compatible with the earlier releases. So you would see no difference in your FPS. The game calls which every one it needs from withing the DX11 API. Plus trying to remove DX11 and reinstall 9 would most likely see you end up with a really dorked up OS and then having to reload it.

It boosted my frame rate for games by like 5-8fps I suppose.

Any other ideas? I know it's not a super powerful gaming rig, but it should be able to run the game at a decent FPS right?

esp 4xAA filtering are the killers
set res to around 1024 by 768 and then work you way up till you find a frame rate that you are happy with
MSI afterburner is also another tweaker software for GPUs but be warned

Nothing personal, but 20FPS with the hardware you have is pretty impressive.

Not quite. Just double-checked it. Both my desktop's system specs and the AMD site state the 3650 has 4 cores.

Graphics are about as low as I can get them. I can't remember what my res is, but I'll try tweaking it again. What's wrong with MSI?

I would recommend getting at least a 6670 with GDDR5, it can be Dual-Graphic'd with the 3620.
Or spend a few bucks and get a 7790.
I run an A8-3870K @3.5Ghz with a 7870 @1125Mhz, and 16Gb of RAM, getting 45-60fps all day long.

like any OC software just be care not to go overboard with the OC
in case you fried your GPU
only do this unless you got enough cooling

A while ago, his GTX460 blew. Then, a friend offered to lend him a GT240. When he asked me if it could run MWO, I told him no... it could, and he's currently getting better framerates than he did with the GTX460, while his housemate with a GTX460 is really struggling framerate-wise. So, it's playable on a GT240 with a sub-par processor, while it isn't on a GTX460 with a decent processor.
Very odd :/ it just seems to not agree with some components- I have a GTX470 and haven't had a framerate problem since June.

*Edit1* Tried it... no appreciable difference at any setting, still 13-15 fps with occasional dips to >10
*edit2* The "low end" config from the link in Darkdraw`s post brought me up to stable 25 fps with SweetFX enabled, with a negligible loss in visual quality. Definitely worth looking at, I`m a believer now

Edit: I think I have it figured out. Will make the changes tonight and see what happens.

I run on a non-gaming, but decently fast, lap-top. I use Game Booster and it does absolutely nothing for or against my FPS.
If you're wondering, I run it anyway for the screenshot and recording functions, though recording will make the game un-playable, since the recent FPS drops.

but be sure that your laptop have good cooling or you end up with a fried GPU
it happen to my Acer laptop running ATi GPU X700 series
you have been warned!!!
