Really Low FPS

[Captain Pancakes]

I am getting a very low fps on a GTX 750TI Overclocked with a AMD FX6300. I have tried loweing some graphical settings but makes no difference, still getting about 15 -20 fps. I have all the new drivers so I don't know the problem.

that is very low for that type of card mate, try deletign the hardware_config and hardware_settings files in the Documents\My games\Dirt3 folders and then start the game again and reapply the settings. Close the game and reopen and see how that goes. Make sure the screen and game refresh rates IE(120 hertz) are the same.

I would recommend you to check your temps of your gpu and cpu, cause i have an old HD5870, which has the same performance like your card and I have 60-120 fps.

in the file Documents\My Games\DiRT3\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml make changes from <directx forcedx9="false" /> to <directx forcedx9="true" /> and enjoy.

I am getting 11 fps while racing, and during the benchmark. High of 15fps when the benchmark first starts, and hovers at 11. I have spent an hour troubleshooting and googling this with no luck. I have just recently verified my drivers.I tried disabling ghost saves, and swapping my setting back and forth with no luck.

CPU was at 10% Utilization, and my temps for the GPU were 60 degrees.

Same issue I'm having. I hope someone finds a resolution because the game looks fun and I'd like to play it.

Yeah. I'm having the same problem but I have a i5 6600k and a gtx 970 so there shouldn't be a problem running the game. I posted a new thread to try to get this fixed more quickly

make sure to uninstall nvidia geforce as well, also make sure that windows isnt recording the game by pressing windows key + G (Windows 10 users), then also make sure shadow play isnt running.

Also i cannot max the multysampling up to max, it has to be 8xmsaa

Ok, update.

I rebooted today, and I'm now averaging 110 fps in-race or so. I have no idea what fixed it, aside from just rebooting?

Yeah, I'm on a pentium g4400 with a 1060 rog.

I did the benchmark, average 138fps
With a minimum of 107, so you shouldn't get that much less then me.
For what it's worth..its an entry level chip. But no problems at-all

You need to set up your video card profile for this game and set it to full power.
