ok guys, i just recently got dragona age, and the game seems grate except for the issue im having. i can run the game no problem, but randomly every 4 or so mins, my framerate drops rather dramatically. im talking unplayable. i can wait a bit and it will fix itself; like 2 or 3 mins, but then it just happens again. and again.
any idea what the issue could be?

im running win7 on a quad core 2.4ghz with 2gb ram and a nvidia 9500gt.

i really wish i could play this game

by the way, ive tried running the game on complete minimal video settings and this still happens

A great many owners of 8600 cards have similar complaints, and just as every other Geforce 9000 is merely a renamed 8000, you actually have an 8600 GT. nVIDIA's drivers for their cards seem problematic with regard to the 8600s, so start testing different ones.

I am running the game on a pentium 4, and was having the same problem, only it wouldn't get better without a restart/reboot. Cleaning the cpu fan filter (with tweezers lol) was what saved me I think. The poor little engine was being suffocated, and I'm lucky it didn't just quit.

I also let windows handle my page filing (default) on drive C as it had been changed somehow. And I started page filing on drive F, on which my game is installed. Someone has told me that this will make no difference if it's only a petition, which mine is, but I did it anyway just to see

I am now running the game on medium settings, with antialiasing and other stuff back on, and I haven't had a drop in framerate since (3 days now). I'm pretty sure it was cleaning the fan that did the trick, but it may have been the page filing also. I don't really want to change anything right now in order to find out.

Hope this helps, though it may be some issue with quads that I have no idea about. Good luck

btw, my videa card is an NVIDIA 8500 GT

does anyone know if there is a driver for my card that will run this game? im having the same problem with mass effect as well, what does that mean?

[RatedRRazgriz]

any chance you use Ntune? if so check my thread. im trying to find someone else to see if it fixes this issue. hope it helps :/

You are not alone, although I'm running it using 9800 GT and 195.62 now, from time to time the framerate really gets ugly, fortunately it doesn't stay that long just half a minute then its okay again. You may want to disable frame buffer effects under video configuration, by default this fool is enabled. And by the way please defrag, defrag and defrag did I say defrag. By the way what is your primary cpu configuration? DAO really needs a ton of RAM.

It means that nVIDIA is trying to exit the end user market, because there is no future for graphics outside iof the APU combination that AMD and Intel are headed toward.  AMD will be showing engineering samples in 2011 of multi-core processors with 4 and eight CPU cores, plus the equivalent of an HD 5650 chip, all together, at such a small incremental cost over not including the graphics, that eventually, most of nVIDIA's market will disappear. 

(APU = Accellerated Processor Unit)

The eventual GTX 300s will owe as much to the next market nVIDIA wants to enter as is does to ordinary graphics requirements.  They hope to find a place as a maker of processor units for massively multi-cored supercomputers, at significantly higher costs per unit, and have fallen 4-6 months behind ATI's HD 5000s in order to concentrate on that eventuality.  They won't have new GPUs until mid-February. 

They borrowed the muliple general purpose subunits design that ATI pioneered with their X1000s when they finally caught up and passed ATI for the first time in three years with their 8000s, but haven't come to terms with making good drivers for such GPU designs.

Have you tried 195.62?

[Titius.Vibius]

@gorath, that will be the day, and it will be a nice shift since it will save us loads of money by not buying a separate gpu.

am downloading 195.62 now, if this does not work, i don't have any hope do i?

Keep your hopes up buddy.

pray to bioware to fix it :wizard:

Intel is headed out into some kind of wild blue version, totally unrelated to current GPU designs.  You can anticipate they'll screw it up and leave room for nVIDIA, its partners, and any ATI ex-partners who want to argue over the dwindling market until Intel gets it right.  There will also be the existing (small) market for production video cards that will remain for another couple of years or so. 

AMD / ATI has provided a broad outline of their planning, but a lot is still not calendar-specific.  It's possible that the APUs could be ready in early 2012, but right now, AMD's priority is to beat the i5s and i7s thoroughly at a price point that will make a difference, the way they had things with the A64s when those were new, and all Intel could offer were various P4s. 

But you can anticipate that the better onboard graphics options when the APUs do arrive will be included with the high dollar octo-cores, not the mid-range quads, and for the economy, base-level dual cores, the onboard inclusion won't be any sizable improvement over the HD 4350 (and whatever the HD 5000s are that replace that one).

just updated driver, and tried disabling physx, but the problem persists, it seemed to go a little longer but, the game still becomes unplayable after the first framrate drop, i am rather disapointed

i really want to play this game.
