I got HomeWorld Remastered the day it came out and I was playing online. Everything was going great. Amazing graphics (Everything maxed out) Then I got into a battle and my fps went from 60 down to as low as 36... I watched other people play it on youtube with similar or worse computer builds than mine with the same graphic settings as i have. They get perfect 60 in game. I asked the people i played with what cpu and gpu they have and some said i7 3770k and they were getting 60 fps even in huge fights. I have a i7 4790 at 3.6ghz and a gtx 780 OC GHZ edition and I drop in fps. I've tried everything I can to fix this but with no luck.. I should be able to max this game no problem according to GearBox. Anyone have any ideas?

PC SPECS:
CPU: i7-4790
GPU: gtx 780 3gb vram
MOBOARD: Gigabyte gaming 5
RAM: 16gb corsair vengance
PSU: Rosewill Xtreme 850w
HDD: Western Digital Black 1TB

Never believe on youtube videos, because they can have the 3770k OC, and playing on max settings blablabla( as they said ) you will never know if its the correct information. Check your CPU and GPU temps, GPU load% and same for CPU...do a stress test and say something.

So I got CPUid and it says my memory is running at 676.5 MHz. Is this a problem? My computer was idle what i took this information.

Okay so i did some searching and i did in fact buy 1600mhz ram. So i went into bios and switched the mhz memory to XMP. And now they are running at 799.9

Perfect. Whatever happens going forward, this is a nice result and will inevitably give you a little more speed here and there.

So far you were not using your stick's full performance.

This however is probably NOT the full solution. Step by step though...

Check your avg. fps now compared to before.

Do you have the game if so what fps do you get in fights?
Should my computer be able to max this game out no problem?
