low fps?

[Chaith 1]

Hey, so I just got on today and when i got on it was like extremely low fps. Yes i have been running on high graphics but i have good computer specs. Is this because of the constant connection to origin servers? I'm playing from North America West and connecting to an east server, could that maybe be it? Ps; I just changed all graphics to medium, same problem.

 

 

Specs if you need them:

 

Cpu: Intel core 2 quad 2.40Ghz

 

3.6 Gb ram

 

GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 470

 

Thanks.

They were good specs for gaming a few years ago and, depending on the game, alright today but SimCity 2013 is a more demanding game. Lower your graphics settings. Problem solved.

I think that the game may be a more CPU intensive game than GPU intensive. I only have 2G of ram and an nVidia GeForce 9600 but I get decent FPS on mostly medium with some low and some high settings with an Intel Core2Duo 2.67 ghz.

The option Lighting has about 10 other options placed inside it. Most importantly it controls the shaders, so just lower it to which ever setting gives your smooth gameplay. All the other options just take 1-3 frames.

 

I have a PC that runs Crysis 3, BF3 and so on ultra and 60 fps, but SimCity goes down to 40 fps. So it's not even about raw power.
