Trapstars Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I bought a EVGA GTX 970 yesterday and to my surprise it wasn't performing any better at terrors than my old 6950. We are talking 0-15 fps + freezes with everything on 1 with everyone hiddin at 1024x768. This pissed me off. So I said *cricket* it and partitioned my SSD and installed a fresh image of Windows 7 Ultimate. After figuring out how to start BNS without actually installing it again(install NClauncher + batfile) I went for a field test at terrors. Welp, too my surprise it worked for me. I'm getting a smooth 25/40 fps @1080 everything at slider 3. 25 ish fps with like 30+ people. Can do 24man/BSH6 without my FPS dropping below 52, used to hit 20's(With everything maxed). Also hidding people seems to actually gives a fps gain now. I also noticed that my hardware is actually being utilized during the fights. Between 66-100% for both cpu(all 4 cores) and gpu. During terror it used to be 0%-4% on gpu and below 20% on cpu. So far so good. My specs are: 2500k@4.5Ghz 8GB Ram Evga GTX 970 4gb@ 1442/3800mem If you're desperate then I suggest you try this: Install win7 ultimate x64 on a new SSD partition Install this old chipset driver on your fresh windows 7(intel only) -> http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_chipset_6_mb.zip If you're AMD find some old chipset driver from 2011-2013 And the latest NVIDIA or AMD driver. No windows updates for the time being and no configs in nvidia/amd controle panel I have a hunch that the old chipset driver is the reason for the massive fps gain. It probably makes the game communicate with the hardware better. I'm going to test this with a fresh win10 tomorrow, and test with my gf's pc (some i5 4whatever and a R9 270 3gb). I will make a video of my experience on win10 then show what it's like on win7 using shadowplay and post it here. Hopefully this might help some people. Just a note, installing old chipset drivers over your current ones won't work, you need a fresh OS install. So if you're tech savy you have nothing to lose, try it.

OneYouHate Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 most of players issues are system related and not game related like yours. I use Win 10 Pro and have no issues as well. A clean install of windows and all your hardware drivers is a good ideal every 6 months or so if you game heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
