DiRT only gets about 12FPS

cdawall · Aug 17, 2007

downloaded the demo and im only getting 12fps average all settings on medium and my vid card @480/1.4ghz cpu @stock 2ghz

i tried the res @ 1280X1024 and 1024X768 and both gave 12fps wtf?

think the cpu needs a healthy boost to get higher

maybe 2.4ghz or so to get good framerate?

im reading somemore it appears im not the only one with this issue

What I didn't like about the game, from a technical standpoint, are some of the visual effects (the overdone HDR lighting, and whatever filter the developers used to make everything appear "grittier" - it simply didn't seem crisp enough for a PC game, but that was obviously intentional), and, of course, the horrible frame rates that I was getting. Even after installing the patch, the game ran like ASS (that's 'ass' in CAPSLOCK) on my AMD 3800+, 7900GT, 2GB RAM work rig, and on medium visual settings! (Surprisingly, the frame rate wasn't THAT much lower on Ultra Settings.)
The frame rate would be passable while driving a Rally race, but when more cars would come into play, even on 'medium,' I was more or less getting a slide show. To quote some crazy Aussie: "W-T-F, MATE?!"

better parts yet having the same issue as me :ohwell:

any chance i can get better FPS? short of upgrading of course

KennyT772 · Aug 17, 2007

With my 3200+ at 2.6 i couldnt play worth a damn. Once I got my opty stock 2ghz wasnt even good nuff, i was cpu limited until about 2.4ghz x2. The engine uses alot of cpu power, I can pretty much run the game maxxed with my x1800 at 1024 just due to the cpu speed.

technicks · Aug 17, 2007

No i don't think you will get much higher. :eek:

I have got the same issue. If i race with multiple cars the framerate goes down drastic,
When i race alone i get 30 fps on 1600x1200 and medium settings.

cdawall · Aug 17, 2007

wtf thats retarded the game no one can play without dual core and suped up gfx

assholes glad i didnt buy it

tried running @2.4ghz ram @480 3-4-4-8 1T 7800GS @480/1.4ghz AND STILL ONLY GOT 15FPS MAX WTF 1024X768 med detail on most low on some :ohwell:

vega22 · Aug 17, 2007

its a next gen games guys ffs of course it will tax the older hardware.

rty dropping the eye candy.

the shadows are what crippled my machine, turn them down and it made it smooth for me.

lemonadesoda · Aug 17, 2007

I nearly bought DIRT today... think I'd better hold off until I go Core2Duo.

yogurt_21 · Aug 18, 2007

lol at the nv/ati cards in the specs, both the nv ones are wayy faster than the ati ones listed. lol

but it recomends an 8800 for nv which means that it doesn't think the 7800 or 7900 series is quite fast enough to run it, and while the x1950 series may not seem to be much faster than the 7900 series, the x1950's have more shaders. which is why the 8800's are probably the real recomended along with the 2900's as it seems to be a shader optimised game.

only real way to tell is to have someone with an x1950 pro post up, and if they've a reasonable amount of frames, then you'll know that's why. 8800's coul post up too, but I doubt that'd help, the 8800's are just plain faster overall.

It's aliens shooting brown lazer beams at you.

Lopez0101 · Aug 18, 2007

Honestly I have no issues at all, runs on ultra @ 1280x1024 36+ FPS at least, even in races with multiple cars. However it sounds like an issue my friend had once in F.E.A.R. Even with the fully patched version he'd get a max of like 20FPS with a 7900GT for no reason. A clean install would run great once, then chug after that.

yogurt_21 · Aug 18, 2007

lol hd2900xt sure and a quad core, but he's on a 7800gs.

7800's and 7900's i found terrible for dust check near the fan make sure it's all clear.

Lopez0101 · Aug 18, 2007

7800's and 7900's shouldn't have the kind of trouble though I would think. The only reason I never played it on my X800XT was because it requires SM3.0 (booooooo). It might just be a driver issue.

yeah but you have to remeber the 7800 gs is basically a faster 6800 ultra, both have 16 pipes, the 7800 is just clocked higher . now the 7800gt at 20 pipes or the 7800 gtx at 24 pipes might not struggle so much.

I'm glad to hear it's not broken
