A while back I bought fallout 3 on steam and everything was working fine. The beginning part of when you are in the vault gave me no problems until the part when you start to escape. When I got to a certain part of the vault where it had to load another part of the map and after the loading screen went away, my framerate began to drop dramatically. So then I got out of the game and started it back up after a couple of minutes and it was working fine again. Then after about a minute or so the framerate started to gradually plummit untill the game was reduced to nothing more than a slideshow.
Before you jump to any conclusions, all of my drivers are updated and yes my computer should be able to handle the game. The weird thing about this whole thing is that my computer doesn't overheat at all once the frame rate starts to go down and before it does it is running at a good 60FPS. I also ran the task manager along with the game to see if it was my RAM or processor and neither of them seemed to be bottle-necking. I have also been able to run crysis on ultra with no problem so my computer should pretty much be able to handle anything i throw at it.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help me. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
my specs:
motherboard- asus M4A785-M
CPU- AMD AnthlonII X3 455
