I’ve played this game on my older rig and keep a constant 40-50fps on all low settings. I’ve been wanting to get more out of this game so I built a new rig and barely manage 25fps on low settings, any ideas?

Here are my new Specs:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz (OC to 4.3GHz)
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4078MB RAM
Page File: 2297MB used, 5854MB available
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series
Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Chip type: AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0×6719)
Display Memory: 2798 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1015 MB
Shared Memory: 1782 MB

I have NO idea what could be causing the game to lag so bad on my rig, maybe bottlenecking. I really do enjoy this game and any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I’m with Ilithis Mithilander on this one. I would definitely recommend moving this card to the x16 slot to get the full benefits of the card. If the card is already in the x16 slot it is possible the issue you are experiencing is hardware related or bios related. Reseating is a good step to go with first.
