Just a quick question for the community at large, I know the ultra mods will obviously put extra strain on my hardware but whenever I run the mod irregardless of which one (e.g. an individual mod, say Kasumi_Optimized or any other individual/other combination) my frame rates go way way down to 29...in certain areas for instance in front of the galaxy map facing joker, but if I take 5 steps forward to the side they magically go up to 50-60ish even though the same characters are still in front of Shepard, not just the galaxy map, extreme lag on every mission, even the science lab where Morden does his thing my frame rate plummets.
I have quite a powerful rig
i7 2600K @ 4.9GHz
8 GB RAM @ 1600 MHz
AMD 6990 graphics card
Could not find any material relating to my situation so just though I would ask. Latest drivers btw v12.1.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
If you read through some of this thread, you will see plenty of info. on TexMod and AMD Graphics Card framerate problems. Without getting into too much detail, AMD Graphics cards and TexMod do not play nice together. Places with a high amount of "holograms" such as the Combat Information Center and when talking to the Illusive Man suffer the worst. This framerate drop is present regardless (irregardless is not a word by the way) of the number of textures used. nVidia users generally do not report this frame rate issue. There hasn't been any fix found. For more information, read back through this tread and you will find a number of posts regarding this issue.
