Hey there everyone
I'm a new comer to Mass Effect
(i played it years ago and wrote it off, thinkin it wasn't a good game).

Holy crap was I wrong, this is by far the best game I've ever played.
I'm really into Sci-fi and this game just does it for me! great story and amazing graphics.

So yeah, my problems is fps, when I'm in an enclosed space i usually get 45-50 fps, which is not bad. I can live with that.

But as soon as I'm in an open space.. 19-23 fps, and it's really annoying.
But here's what i don't get.. no matter how much i tamper with the in-game settings (including resolution) the fps is always the same.. So i don't know how to fix this problem. I turned the quality to the lowest, still 19-23 fps, put everything to the highest and maxed the resoulition... the exact same.

If anyone could help me with this problem, i'd appreciate it soo much .

Specs:
Windows 7
ATI Radeon HD 4650
1 Gig of Ram

and as for processor, i can't really remember it and i don't know how to find out what it is in windows 7, I do however know it's pretty decent, it's a duel core processor and is aroun d 2.7 ghz

any help would be awesome!
(all my drivers and directx is up to date )

edit: i think it may be the ram, but I don't know

Can't tell you for certain as I'm not sure where the Radeon 4650 stands, but 1 gig is indeed a bit low for RAM, and I'd agree that looks like the bottleneck simply from the specs. ME1 will use up to 1 Gig of RAM by itself on my machine (1280x720 with most settings at max), so with your OS taking up hundreds of megs already, it's probably having to turn to your memory swap file on the hard drive.

Other PC components being well balanced with it, an HD 4650 makes a good showing for itself with any modern CPU.  When saddled with an obsolete one, such as a P4-D, if you had an Extrememe Edition running at 3.8 GHz, you would be at the minimum.  I don't think that Intel made any P4-D as slow as "2.7 GHz".  If they did, it's a slug. 

AMD's processors, like the original C2Ds, never needed to run fast to beat the P4s, although when the C2Ds were brand new, they did jump past AMD by a sizable margin, and it took until relatively recently, to reach parity. 

The only reason an HD 4650 would be perfornming as poorly as you've described is by being bottlenecked by a slow CPU (or a horibly corrupted operating system).  Having only a single GB of RAM causes the game to have to pause constantly to load new textures all of the time, which doesn't happen with 2 GBs of RAM.

I too am using the HD4670 and I'm having really slow FPS after about 30-40 seconds of running great (doesn't seem to matter what setting either), sow I'm thinking it has to be somthing else. I have done a clean install of XP and all drivers are updated. I have only 2GBs of RAM should I get more? Any ideas would be appreciated.
