Hi there. I just started playing Mass Effect 3 the other night and I'm having some incredibly strange framerate issues. When I first started up the game my FPS was chugging at 10-15 (which is incredibly low for my PC) so I checked and found that my video card drivers were out of date. I updated them, restarted and the game ran perfectly at 60+ FPS. The next day I played a little and it worked fine. I then did some work for about 3-4 hours and upon return the framerate issue had returned. At this point I attempted every fix I could find. I checked to make sure all possible drivers were up to date. I checked Directx, checked all my Nvidia settings and nothing would fix it. I tried disabling vsync as I read online that it was causing problems. This did not fix the issue. Out of frustration I tried playing the game in windowed mode and the FPS issue disappeared. I then tried on borderless windowed mode and the FPS dropped to 10-15 once again.
I finally decided to just reinstall the drivers in case they had been corrupted somehow. I reinstalled my video card drivers, rebooted and found the fullscreen FPS issue to be fixed again. Today I started up the game and the fullscreen FPS issue has returned. It still runs fine in windowed. Anyone have any idea what is going on here?
