• 20-30 FPS in Dragon Age: Origins

I'm getting horrible FPS in DAO even though I meet recommended requirements. I can also run Mass Effect 2 at a solid 60FPS with everything on high. Here are my specs: Windows 7 64bit Nvidia 240 1GB (not great but still) AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9GHz CPU 4GB of DDR3 RAM so it should be running at least at 40FPS but it never breaks over 31FPS (getting there is rare) so I believe there to be a problem.
then why post?
So someone doesn't comment "hurr your computer sucks too much."
Try closing process in the background or set the priority for Dragon Age to high.
240GT is a bit of a low end card
Turn off screen-space effects. It rapes the low-end cards, horrendously.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;26155536]BFBC2, Mass Effect 2, MW2 etc at 60FPS[/QUOTE] As far as I know most of those games are more CPU heavy than GPU heavy. My FPS doesn't really change much from full to low settings in BC2, because I'm limited by my CPU (E7400 OCed to 3.5ghz, which I thought would be enough), while my OCed GTX 460 breezes through the graphics side. (However, I think that the DX11 mode might be artificially raising the low effects, as it still looks really good, only a little more aliased and with worse shadows.)
My old PC which was from 2004 ran DA:O at a solid 30FPS and only has an onboard GPU. I do not think that is the case.
