Hi,

Previous time you helped me with a fps problem i had with skyrim, now i came back again because i'm having some issues with Ethan Carter too. I cant get the game to run with 60FPS, it is always between 25-30, i'v been playing with the options, disabling a lot of stuff but the fps was still in the 25-30 range.

I'm playing full screen, 1920x1080, my pc is:

Intel i7-4790, GTX770, 16gb RAM, Windows 7

And another question, do i need to tweak my nvidia control panel every time i play a different game? This panel got a lot of option like the game has, does it matter if it's differen?

Thanks!

I don't see any reason you need to touch your NVIDIA control panel at all, let alone tweak settings individually for every game. You really just want everything set to default, and then you adjust your graphics from within the games themselves. I feel like your PC should be capable of 60 FPS with all the settings turned up. Maybe make sure your MSAA isn't turned all the way up? It should be at 2x or 0 unless you have lots of extra FPS to spare.

I disabled AA while everything else was high (full view distance and such) and it didn't made it a lot better, sometimes it is 40fps but it's jumping around a lot, i don't mind getting rid of some high options but if my pc can get 60fps i feel it's a shame to lower some options until i'm sure i tried everything

You should never touch the control panel unless something isn't working properly ie: vsync or SLI. Everything on the control panel should be on default or let game decide.

Ok i have no idea why, but after a night of sleep my pc runs the game on 60+FPS, everything on high except the AA is on MSAAx2.

This is not the first time it's happening that after a day or two suddenly a game runs smoothly, i can guarantee it's not over heating because my max temp during a game was 46c. How can that be?

Bad driver support? I know the game stucks for me for 1/2 sec very often but it's probably because it loads stuff very often (Unreal engine with "open" world - yeah) so installing it on SSD will solve this problem.

If it's not the temps that underperform your GPU - no idea, as I said try some beta drivers, maybe BIOS update.
