Lately, I've noticed that my frame rate while playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 has dropped rather significantly.
When the game was first released, I had a Geforce GTS 250, Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz, 4 GB RAM playing at 1440 x 900 (not my native) . My FPS would stay between 15 and 35 max and that's with most settings on low.
Then, I upgraded to a core 2 quad, a Q6600, and I noticed a fairly decent increase in performance, with settings all on medium and AA/AF on 4x, my FPS would stay at around 30-45.
Now, earlier this year, I upgraded to a Geforce GTX 460, and when I first played BC2 with it, I had the settings maxed out, except for AA and AF. I had those on 8x and 4x respectively. And my resolution was at 1680 x 1050. My frame rate would be in the mid 50s and 60s at all times. It was perfect. It only lasted a few weeks though. My CPU is a 650W also.
But as of late, I'm back to struggling with an FPS between 25-35 and that's even with some settings on low. I've reinstalled the game more than once, defragged more than once, I have all the latest drivers installed, and I've done some other tweaks to the game's settings.ini folder to help performance. What could be the problem?
ALSO: I have another PC running that same GTS 250 I mentioned, along with a Core 2 Quad Q8400, and 4GB RAM. I don't know why, but the game runs flawlessly on that machine. All settings on medium, texture on high, AA and AF on 4 and 2 respectively. 1600 x 1200 resolution. I played for a few minutes today, and noticed the game's FPS on that computer was in the high 50s at the lowest, and even up to the mid 70s. Why is the better computer runnign the game 30-40 FPS lower?
