I used to play sc2 on extreme settings.

Then all of a sudden, if i go to ultra or extreme, i get over a 50 fps drop.

but if i switch both terrain and other graphic mode to high, i'm back up to steady 60 fps.

I don't know why this happened, or what i can do to fix it. I tried reinstalling video drivers, with a full manual uninstall, from amd support site.


Looking for opinions, ideas, or other people who have the same problem and know how to fix it.

I reset to stock gpu settings and still same problem.

I do note that now, i've narrowed it down to two settings that really mess me up
The texture quality has to be on high. if i put it to ultra, and all other setings on very lowest, i still get a 50 fps drop. As well the shaders on high, if on ultra and every other option very lowest, i still get 50 fps drop.
