Textures appearing too late

[IAmAndre]

Hi,

 

I currently have this issue when playing the latest Need For Speed game where textures appear too late, so it's hard to anticipate the obstacles/curves. I'm not sure what's causing that but I'm currently upgrading my PC. I was running out of storage so I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD, but the game is still on the old HDD. The UserBenchmark tool showed me that this HDD is performance worse than average. Do you think it could be what's causing the issue? If so, how could I fix it?

My current CPU is an i3 4130, and rather than getting a new motherboard and RAM sticks to upgrade to a new platform, I'm considering buying a second-hand 4590 on eBay at under $140-150.

Finally, my current GPU is a GTX 750 2GB. Do you think that's the main issue here? I wanted to buy a 1050 Ti but I've seen that the new Nvidia lineup should be released in early 2018, so why not wait for its successor. Power consumption is kind of a big deal for me.

What do you think?

if it is a setting try to turn up the render distance. Doubt your HDD is bottlenecking, I run a 2009 32MB cache WD Black and it works on all the games I’ve played.

I would definitely upgrade to a newer platform.

If you go this route, and you sell your old CPU/RAM/MOBO, it's still more expensive but definitely worth it. I would get a new GPU later on, 750 will suite your needs for now. Maybe get a GTX 1050 or RX 460/470.

Interesting. The thing is I also do some video editing so I would need more RAM and probably a better motherboard supporting overclocking and having 4 RAM slots m. Maybe I should just save money for at least 6 months and get a Ryzen 5 build.

On the other hand, the 4590 would allow me to get a performance that's actually similar to a Ryzen 5 1400 at stock speed based on User Benchmarks.

Its not your system, its a old and known issue with pretty much all non Battlefield Frostbite engine games where textures have slow stream rate, its a really poorly optmized engine outside FPS genre for which it was built mainly, EA is forcing it on every their developer and it sucks.

Is there any workaround?

The faster and more memory on your GPU, more system RAM, i'd guess then the less visible issue becomes, but its still happanening even on very good PC's, simply if you have a lowe end, older rig its more of a pain.

 

Also does it happen on Low, Medium settings ? Maybe youre just running game on settings too demanding on your card.
