Low fps ANY settings
Hello,
So as the tittle says, i have terrible fps in the game since i reinstalled it.
I played the game before (on the exact same system) before i did a clean windows re-install.
On the lowest settings i could play the game at around 50/60 fps.
Now it does not matter how low i turn my settings to, i will have terrible fps. (15max)
I tried alot of things, going into gamerprofile, turning alot of other things down.
Putting my resolution scaling to 0.5 and my resoluttion to 1280-720.

Nothing worked.
In fact, lowering my settings did not make a big difference except when i turn it to ultra.
Ultra to lower (5fps to 15fps)
High-medium-low seemed to make no diffrence.

Now i get it, my videocard is♥♥♥♥♥♥today, but i have played this game at around 60 fps on the lowest settings before, with the SAME computer/videocard.

My specs :
Cpu - i7-7700k 4.20ghz
Ram - 16gb
Videocard - gtx 950 2gb Vram ( again, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ will upgrade soon )
Installed on - ssd
Cooling - water cooled
Operating system - windows 10 64bit ofcourse.

Thanks for viewing my post and i hope someone can help.
Bye.

oh and yes a gtx 950 is supported ........... but only in LOW settings in 720 P

bottom line you need a better GPU

oh an by the way use older nvidia drivers for a older Nvidia card .. the new ones stink for older gpu's

i have a GTX 1060 6 gig (gigabyte windforce 2 with nvidia driver 388.71)

game runs stable and fine

Running a rx 580 xtr with a ryzen 1800x right now and the game runs at 70+ fps for the most part with some dips into the 40s in certain areas. I'll be fixing that soon once my rtx 2080 comes.

Hello, thanks for letting me know about the drivers, i will look into that.
720p is no problem for now, as long as i can see the game somewhat normal.
Yes i will upgrade my gpu as soon as possible aswell.

Thanks guys.
