Just got a new AMD 290 after my old video card died. It was a visible upgrade to my last, but compared to the lesser competition, my FPS is still low. Appreciate if you guys can help me out.
Cpu's running at 3.6ghz, 16gb memory, conan's on a SSD, 290's running at stock, Win 8's running with minimal processes, amd catalyst, gaming evolved software, anti virus, gpuz, and wireless control manager.
In DX9, at the lowest setting without sweetfx, I'm getting 70-90 fps in khemi, while in highest setting, it goes down to 60-80 fps. While turning, it goes down to 44 min.
This is a huge issue atm in pvp. On maps like TT and sag, I just can't run at optimal settings. Even in lowest settings, even with high average fps, the minimal fps still dips, and while turning it makes the game feel very choppy.
So far when comparing to friend's and guildies, it seems my FPS is low. Any suggestions on if it's just the card's limitations, or am I missing something, should turn on/off something to increase performance?
Also forgot to mention, I use FDS/Ikos ui. /reloadui to default buys me 5 fps increase max. Still below what I feel I should expect.
