Random Slowdown in Xenoblade? - ifrit05 - 07-23-2014
Heya all.
Been playing Xenoblade Chronicles for a bit and been getting 28-30 FPS. Started it up today and bam, started getting around 20-25 FPS. I didn't change any settings.
AMD FX-6300 overclocked to 3.8GHz with Turbo disabled
DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
AMD Radeon HD 6770 1GB
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
I know the issues with AMD CPU's but the thing is it was running fine yesterday. Settings are at the bottom of the post.
I am using the OpenGL renderer due to me using the HD textures. Again, the game was running fine up until about yesterday with all of these settings. I have no idea as to why it suddenly lagged so much. I tried restarting my PC but that didn't help either.
If it's any help, I'm at the part where I need to head to Colony 6.
Thanks for any help.

Check for any throttling and overheating. Not that it dropped speed that much.
