FPS Drop Doown excessively!

Hi all!

I've been experiencing this for a while; somebody knows why my fps excessively drop down when Im near smoke/blood/dust/(...) effects?

This also happened when I installed directx10 in my old windows xp, but not before it so I don't think it is a pc problem... Could be Dx?

Screenshot here!

Without FX:

With FX (sometimes my fps drop down to 50 or 60):

Your graphic card + OS + which directx you use?

Never experienced that, but

PHP Code:

set r_multiGpu 1

Operative System: Windows 7 Professional 32 bits
Graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 4650 (1 gb dedicated memory)
DirectX version: DirectX11
Processor: AMD Athlon X2 250, ~3.02 GHz
RAM: 4 GB

That command does not work :( anyway thanks for answer :)

Any other solution? Any help will be appreciated :)

Does this work seriously?

I meant which version of Direct have you set ingame (graphic rendering engine). Try set it to DirectX7.

@Robson: I've always set it to Dx7 but idk why when I'm near an effect my fps go down :(

@Izno: Renamig doesnt' work neither :(

Anyway thanks for answering!! :)
If some1 can post, don't doubt it! :)

It makes your drivers think you are running cod4, for which they tend to be more optimized.

I have at least one report of it improving fps due to nvidia optimus finally detecting a game and switching from integrated to dedicated gfx card.

Alright so not going into detail it's your GPU that causes it HD 4650 is quite old, I've got a new HD 6450 with 2 GB of vRAM, new Athlon X4 750k Quad Core Processor rated at 4.00 GHz and 8 GB of RAM and still my FPS goes down below 333 when there is a GPU intensive action around like this FX you're talking about.

I just noticed in another thread, that IzNoGod said that the Compatibility Mode fucks up the FPS. Might be the case here?

No :(

But thanks for answering again ;)

Don't worry guyz, thanks every1 for answering this :)
