No matter what my graphics settings are at, whether they're maxed out or at minimum, my FPS jump around from 50's to the single digits making the game unplayable. Here are my Specs:


ASUS M5A97 R2.0
EVGA 560 ti
AMD FX 8320 (OC to 4.0GHz)
8GB 1866 RAM


What I don't understand is that these are decent specs, so why cant I play on minimum. The only thing I can think of that would help is a new graphics card. Although I'd rather not spend the money, if I did get one, I was thinking this:

I had recently installed the game when I encountered this issue, so I reinstalled which seems to have fixed the issue. However I'm thinking that it may get worse overtime like it did before. According to GPU-Z my temperture only gets to about 75°C and the Max. Memory used is 857MB (on a 2GB card).
