Not even a stable 60 frames?

Which Nvidia drivers are you using? I'm using an old 650 ti 2gb and experiencing a driver and game crash every 5-30 minutes of playtime. Odd thing is, the game, when it runs, is silky smooth.

It's not.

I think the issue is elsewhere, yeah an intel CPU would be much better but FX 8300 isn't weak.

hes right your cpu is weak your barley minimum.its 3.3ghz for intel and 3,5 ghz for amd.that vidio pretty much supports that fact as there dropping to low 40s fps

OP have you tried turning down video settings?

There's barely a difference between the two, it should be sufficient. A friend of mine is playing with far weaker CPU, of course not 60 FPS but it's playable.

i wasnt aware yours was unplayable then theres some other issue if thats tha case.but a stable 60fps very likely not possible

There are places where FPS will drop and rise, it'll go down in certain places like such as bridge where there's a lot of zombies, it should go above 60 fps in certain areas where there's not much zombies and etc, so it won't be stable.

But OP should try to turn down all the video settings for first just in case, sometimes there's 1 innocent setting that may actually be the culprit.

if it were me i would turn off anything shadow related,set to medium settings turn gpu in control panel to high performance and play in windowed mode you should see a fps increase and adjust from there and make sure your physx is set to your 980ti to take some weight off your cpu

Yeah, also the view distance, it's killer.

If it was me, I'd turn down literally everything and then leave on only settings that I need, which are as example AA, ambient occlusion and maybe shadwos on medium or film grain, that's the only options I play with, everything else is off or lowest.

If you want, I can pretend i don't think that's the issue and list other possibilities...

Yeah, I know it is pretty weak-sauce, though its been holding up relatively well based on its 2gb VRAM. I updated my drivers last night to version 378.78 and tried running the game again. An interesting thing happened. The game went blackscreen again, but didn't exactly crash with a driver error. I received a Windows 7 message stating it was applying some compatability settings to the game the next time it launched, and ever since then I've been playing without crashes at all. I may not be running the game at perfect FPS, but its running comfortably enough at a low resolution that I can enjoy myself until I finally go out and buy a new card.

Oh, and draw distance is crazy-linked to FPS. I lowered the setting from around 75% to 50% and must have gained around 15 frames or more.

view distance in game plays a big part aswell. that will chew up alot of fps, my pc works, but its no where near top of the line, everything on high, view distance all the way down, and im getting a solid 75-100 fps, thats with my old gfx card aswell, because my newer one got cooked

[Reizz of the Gal Vorbak ✳]

It's your CPU. AMD's single core performance is rather lackluster. I get 70-100 fps on max settings all the time
