[Slyy]

<p>intell I7 2600k</p><p>Asus p8z68 deluxe gen3 mother board</p><p>Asus GTX 570 DC2 video card</p><p>OCZ agilty 3 240g SSD sata 6Gb/s</p><p>Corair Vengence 8 gig ddr3 1600</p><p>Thermotake tough power 1200w power supply</p><p>Just got this all built. and no matter what settings i use from extreme preformace to High Quility i go for 140 fps to 2 fps when i say turn my charactor or fly around velious and other places i have tried to turning off shaders and lights and shadows and nothing helps. I also have a I7 laptop with 460gt video and it plays it just fine. the new system can play bf3 on ultra and not have a problem along with every othere game i have tried. can anyone tell me why my new system is doing this? figured its a driver issue but not real sure.</p>

<p>If you're running vsync be sure you have triple buffering enabled. Also, be sure you've done a defrag of your drive. Despite being SSD your access times could be chunking your framerate when you load new objects (turn the camera)</p><p>Past that you'd probably want to <a href="http://help.station.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28939" target="_blank">open a support ticket</a> and give us your <a href="http://help.station.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28973/" target="_blank">dxdiag/msinfo</a> files so we can get a better idea.</p>

<p>Only a suggestion, but one based on my own experience.</p><p>Are you running EQ2 off of your SSD?  I did on mine and it ran like a pig.  I moved it to my standard HD and now it runs fine.</p><p>No idea why, but worth a try?</p>

<p>Found the problem it has something to do with the bundled utility software Asus GamerOSD that came with the videocard. I uninstalled it games runs at 40fps on Extreme Quality. I reinstalled just to make sure and got the same problem the fps would drop to 1 lol with any movement..Asus GamerOSD is some kind of game video recording software i don't know why its doing it but it is. Hope this will help others in the future.</p>

<p>Glad to hear you got this resolved by removing that utility. If you do want to use it in the future you may want to look in to whether or not it has multiple profiles for 2d/3d mode, and if so to force it to use the 3d profile to prevent performance loss.</p>

<p>MattG... I have to ask, why would you ever recomend Defragment of an SSD?  Becides destroying the drive, it does virtually nothing for improvments.  Most SSD's don't even write data to where the OS tells them to, using an their own software to deturmine where the best placement is for a write based on the relability of the location.Defragmenting only ruins the drive to no benifit.</p>

<p>That was a serious brain short on my part - I do know SSDs don't need to be defragged, and it was my mistake for posting that without thinking.</p><p>However, I'm curious what part of the Asus software suite was causing issues. If you find a software update or setting in the app that helps please feel free to share.</p>
