[SOLVED] FPS locks at low rate (18 FPS)

Just got my GP4 game reinstalled, and installed the tools such as GPxPatch and the ZaZ tools. When I boot up the game with a selected mod with CSM, my GP4's frame rate gets low to 17-18 FPS when racing.

Anyone know a solution? (BTW I have Windows 8.1)

First guess would be your graphics settings; It's entirely possible that your Graphics Card and/or CPU are having trouble.

When in-game hold down your 'o' key; This will give you a number showing how much of your CPU is being used.

If it's high - over 100 - try turning down some of the graphics settings in the f1graphics.cfg file.

Things like Shadows and Reflections are particularly intensive.

I set "Use CPU" to 0 and the FPS doesn't get upper. Oh, and the processor occupancy is below 100. My processor is AMD FX-6100. The game used to be very fine before I reinstalled the game, but now it doesn't.

Did you recalibrate the graphics after reinstalling the game ?

Checked! It was just set to 18 FPS on the ingame settings without myself noticing that. So, problem solved guys :)

That thing doesn't happen to me, actually it's good, my graphics aren't too bad.
