Performance issue, very bad FPS and FPS drops

[scrble]

Hopefully when EA came and checked on the thread, they made notes of all the people having the same problems. Hopefully they will listen to us and get Ghost Games to patch this game on PC. I still also hope for a pause option in offline mode, I have been spreading the word about this game to all my friends, as most have, it needs some serious fixing.

We'll see how things go, the more people that post their issues, the more EA will listen, that's what I was told when I called technical support and talked to an actual person.

I wrote with the support about the problem and a Senior Support Member (if he really was) told me that they told the devs about the problem.

As I already said before: I hope they really did and it was not just a "Shut the hell up"

And a small comment from EA what is going on about the problem would be great again!

Maybe another info that might be important. The usage of my GTX660 is relativ constant at about 60%. I think thats normal for a game that is limited at 30FPS.

So I really do think that there is a problem with the CPU usage. This is in average about 25%. Thats not that much!

And why is eanajat active in every other post but not in this one? :O

Just to confirm, here's one more with the same issue. I really hope this gets fixed asap, very frustrating

What is your graphics card?

I have a laptop, I have the Nvidia GT525M 1GB DDR3 and I can play NFS MW2012 and NFS TR at medium graphics with over 30fps. Surely with NFSR I should be playing at lowest graphics at 28 - 30fps?? I been getting way lower than that, horrible lag everywhere. 

It is so sad how I paid so much for this game and I have not used it because it is so unstable Im missing out on the NFS action!!

Tried to play the game from my SSD instead of my HDD. Guess what changed? You're right! Nothing! ^^

On a scale from 1-10 on my surprised meter, this hit a balloon!

I made some screens from the places where the drops are damn extreme.

If you drive to the left directly next to that ship the framerate is just pain in the...head...definitly in the head...and nothing else ^^

This one is interesting. The Framerate makes a huge drop if you take the right way, but only if you drive in the direction you can see on the screenshot. If you COME from the direction you can see on that screenshot, the framerate still drops, but ist nearly 10FPS better than the direction you see at the screenshot.

That does not mean that the framerate only drops here. The 30 FPS doesn't get hold nearly everywhere in the game. There are some places in the far east where the framerate is much better. But I can't hold 30FPS constantly anywhere. 
These are only some places where the drops are just...crazy!

Nice screens, chaz0r.

It will help the devs fixing this. (I hope)

Btw, what antialiasing do you use?

SweetFX or resolution scaling?
