Some of the stutters we experienced placed the game well below 30 FPS, making the game both look and feel terrible to play. Yes, our average framerate is over 90 FPS, but a lot at our lower percentile framerates. This game isn't GPU limited, and the same performance issues occur at lower resolutions like 1080p. We then followed the instructions within their guide and proceeded to test Mass Effect 3's performance on modern PC hardware.Īs you can see below, Mass Effect 3's PC performance is highly unstable. This was on a 4GHz i7-6850K processor, something that's more than capable of running an Xbox 360/PS3 era game at 60+ FPS.īefore we recorded any framerate data, we first ventured over the PC Gaming Wiki to discover how to disable VSync and how to run the game at an unlocked framerate. When we played through the opening areas of Mass Effect 3, the game was a mess, frequently stuttering between 30 FPS and 60 FPS gameplay thanks to the game's always-on VSync. For starters, we will note that Mass Effect 3 enabled V-Sync by default and has a framerate cap of 62FPS. We didn't want to jump to conclusions here, especially when we could easily test out Mass Effect 3 ourselves. This flaw can tank the performance of classic EA titles, turning Mass Effect 3 into a stutter-fest, even on modern hardware.
Whether they want access to sports games like FIFA and MADDEN, first-person shooters like Apex Legends and Battlefield 5, or EA classics like Mass Effect 3, Dead Space and Need for Speed. EA's library has something for almost everyone.Ī few days ago, a Senior Engineer at Microsoft called Jack Elliot brought to our attention a massive flaw within EA's Origin Client. Most PC gamers begrudgingly use Origin because they want access to EA's gaming library. It's functional, yes, but it doesn't do much to differentiate itself from its rivals. If I were to ask you who makes the best PC games launcher, I'd bet that you wouldn't pick EA's Origin as your first choice.
