Tera Fps Drop After 10 Minutes

[Kosmiche]

Hey guys, I'm having issues with Tera and feel this doesn't belong in the main thread as that thread is about gameplay discussion.

I get shockingly bad fps after about 10 minutes, before that its fine and I run a mix of medium/high graphics.

My system is Q6600, 4gb ram, 6870. Also got a asus xonar soundcard. Everything is at stock.

I use msi afterburner just to slow down my gpu fan as its too loud, I've made a fan profile so it spins up in games and keeps it around 70c in Tera.

Therefore I don't think its a temperature issue.

Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks.

I'm not sure of the exact fps I can find out if this is useful. It is almost unplayable though after 10 minutes.

When you get the drops (stuttering) alt tab to windows and check your GPU usage via afterburner.

See if the GPU is dropping out, if the GPU usage is consistent without big drops on the afterburner graph, then you can rule out the GPU all but.

You could also use GPUZ and click on sensors and see what the usage is like using that also.

Also check afterburner and check to see if the core clocks are running at your cards default clocks, your clocks might be down-clocking resulting in FPS drops

Delete current drivers and maybe try different drivers?

You could also put a very slight OC on your GPU, say 10mhz, this has be know to make games stop dropping there usage sometimes, though im not saying this will work.

Get your Q6600 OC (3GHZ is possible with most chips), you will see big gains regarding FPS with games, especially MMORPGS as they are all about the CPU rather than the GPU?

I personally find Tera very hard to get a perfect smooth gameplay, im very fussy and try to get games to run as smooth as possible, when i played beta, i think i found fullscreen windowed better and i think i turned down shadows and lighting, i also forced Vsync and triple buffering using D3D overrider http://www.datafilehost.com/download-49eec52f.html, i find this stops stuttering with lots of games.

See what the game runs like with Vsync off?

You could also check your ram usage via task manager, again alt tab to windows when the stuttering happens and check it to see if its maxing out at 4GB.


What your describing could also be a memory leak with the game,though i dont know as i dont play it.
