Hi,
Can someone please explain what causes different/worse frame rates in PC games.
For instance, in games such as Dead Space 1 and 2 I can play with 60 fps all the time and even if it does go below 60 it never goes below 50. (Settings pretty much maxed out)
In Assassins Creed 2, it plays at 30 fps but the gameplay is smooth. (This is maxed out)
In Bulletstorm and Dirt 2, gameplay is very smooth at 60 fps most of the time.
However, when I play Skyrim, it hardly ever reaches 60 fps and when it does it stays on it for only a few seconds. The fps change a lot, its at 40 fps one second, then 30, then 50. Sometimes even 15-20 fps The only solution I can think of it the environment I'm in and whether there is a lot going on.. But surely that wouldn't change in the frames per second so much and so often. Gameplay is only ever smooth at 60 fps which it rarely hits. Its okay at 40-50 but not ideal. I sure there must be something I can do.. (I have AA off by the way)
My laptop ist: Dell XPS 17 ~ i7 2630qm @ 2-2.9 GHz ~ GeForce GT555m 3GB ~ 6GB RAM ~ 1920 x 1080 17\" 3D screen ~ 1TB HDD
I play all these games on 1920x1080 too.
Thanks
