Low Frames on Title Screen

Please note, I'm unsure if this has been posted before. I've spent a while looking for an answer, but to no avail.

So, as the title says, I've been having incredibly low frames at the main menu, along with low frames in game. I've looked around, but it seems no-one has had the same issues.

I'm using an MSI GTX 970, and one of the high-end AMD Athelon CPU's (Don't know specifically which one). Thank you in advance to any and all who provide assistance.

Which OS are you using? If Mac or Linux, which version and what version are the drivers? If Windows, could you upload a DxDiag.txt? You can make one by pressing <WinKey>+R, typing "dxdiag", and pressing "Save All Information...". Upload the resulting file here using the "Upload a File" button on this forum.

There is also a thread "Investigating Menu Lag" that you may be interested in, but we should probably rule out other causes first.

I've got Win 7 (64-bit). Here's the DxDiag file.

Yeah, that all looks alright. Could you check if you have any software installed from the following list?

I have MSI Afterburner installed. I just tried the Riva Tuner work around, but it didn't seem to help.

Addendum: I forgot to select the x64 version of PA. Everything works now. Thank you!

Sigh...nevermind. It worked for one launch, but I still get low frames.

It worked once? That's odd.
Could you try it with MSI Afterburner completely disabled? Or uninstalled even if you can?

Yeah, I'll give it a shot.

I uninstalled Afterburner, but it didn't help.

Could you try performing a clean boot. That should rule out other software from maybe interfering. Instructions are here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

Could launching it through Steam be a factor?

Oh, right. It could very well be. Sorry, I forgot to even ask.
Yeah, try disabling the Steam Overlay and see if that helps. Alternatively, download the UberLauncher and bypass Steam altogether. (You can get it here: https://store.uberent.com/download/pa )

I've tried the UberLauncher bypass, but it didn't seem to help. Neither did the clean-boot. I'll try the UberLauncher bypass again, though.

Hmm, maybe it's the power saving features. Your problem sounds rather similar to the one here: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/game-crash-after-loading-v80462.68798/#post-1086401

Does that work for you?

I just tried that, but it didn't help. I only set the Minimum State to 50%, I can try it at 100%.

Just changed the Min State to 100%; no change.

Could you also check your bios? I think it's called "Speed step" or something.

What would I do with this option? I'm not very good with the Bios stuff...

Try disabling it- these will force the CPU to run at full speed all the time.
