I found that places where the game's frame rate goes down, the gpu activity reducess. Is this normal or a driver issue ??

 

Graphics Card : Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6770

Catalyst Version: 12.10

OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

Graphics settings in game : High

Cpu: Pentium Dual-Core E5800 @ 3.20 GHz

Given the screenshots, it looks like you're playing the game in a Windowed-Mode.  Does this issue happen when playing in a Fullscreen-Mode?

If you can, review the sticky and provide us with your system specs, and any other releveant information.  What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far to rule out the possible causes?

1) Does this issue happen when playing in a Fullscreen-Mode? - Frame rate drops the same way in full screen. Dosent know about gpu acivity in full screen.

2) What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far to rule out the possible causes? - changed value of fit to vetical and lock frame rate to 30 (true and false) in
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Criterion Games\Need For Speed(TM) Most Wanted\config

but didnt help.

The game was put to windowed mode to show gpu activity at the time of frame drop. i think the reduced gpu activity results in this issue.

Dollars to donuts, you're constrained by your CPU.  Two cores at 3.2Ghz can easily by bogged down with modern games. 

Beyond that, a quick search shows that this game runs poorly even on high-end hardware, so there might not be much you can do about it.

 

I have the same problem only this is my specs:

windows 7 64 bit ultimate

cpu - Phenom II x6 1100t running at 4.0 ghz

mobo - gygabyte 880gm

gfx - sapphire 7970 running at 1125 gpu and 1575 memory

ram - 8gb 1333 mhz corsair

hdd - X2 2tb seagte barracuda

coolent:

gpu

cpu

 

Its a game engine problem, that's what people on the ea forum been saying.
