    Fun game and the upgrades keep you hanging around for a while.

    But i have a major fps issue which keeps me from playing, although my GPU is well within requirements.

    I have the AMD 6770M and at lowest settings and 800x600 resolution the game starts at 50-60fps then 3-5 minutes through it drops to unplayable 13-20fps.

    Is is this poor optimization? or bad drivers from my side ? (using leshcatlabs.net - Keeping it Simple. Ads free. drivers 13.12 rev 1.2) or is it that my GPU is overheating and performing poorly as soon as it warms up because of all the dust inside?

    Note: Battlefield Bad Company 2 plays smooth with no issues on low settings.

    Many thanks

    If you monitor your temps/freq with gpuz or hwmonitor do you see it overheating or throttling? You can answer yourself with those tools.
