New PC, 14 FPS Average
Posts: 25
Here are the Specs:
GTX 1060 3gb
Intel I5 7400 4 cores @ 3.0/3.5Ghz
8GB RAM
Although I realise these specs are modest, I did not expect an average of 14FPS from the performance test. I ran it with auto-detected low/minimal settings in 1920x1080p. This is significantly worse than my old 2010 rig with: HD5850 1 GB, AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40 Ghz, and 4GB RAM.
I am unsure why I am getting such abysmal performance. Could the game be using the Intel intergrated HD Graphics instead of the GTX 1060 ? Is it a Direct X issue ? I have already downloaded the latest drivers from the GeForce experience suite.
I bought this PC to mainly run my favourite game, COH2. I would be very grateful for any advice on this matter.
Thank you

EDIT: I did not read that you were using low settings. If that is the case then there must be something wrong with your hardware. Check the temperatures and stress your new rigs with some actual benchmarks to see if it still gets worse results than your old PC. If it does then its either some other process taking all the power or some hardware issue like: overheating, power source problems (power supply or bad connections) or simply faulty components.
As for the build in graphix, yes it is possible but only if you are using the build in one in the desktop. I guess its is the first place where you should check. It happens that if your GPU breaks the build in replaces it even transfering the image using ports on the broken GPU board.

I've run the game on a 650ti / 3570k / 8gb. Had to restart every couple of games to be safe but it was perfectly playable.
You can run 'dxdiag' and click on the display tab to see what device is being used as far as the integrated or Nvidia card.

The benchmark tool in COH2 is old and broken. Ignore it.
Turn on the fps display in Steam and play a 1v1 match for your actual fps. You should start with well over 60fps. If it's still bad, let us know.
Steam -> Settings -> In-Game-> In-game FPS counter
Or you can use FRAPS for averages and stuff. It will go down as the match progresses though. No hardware can overcome the poorly coded engine.

I have a 1060 3GB in an i7 3770 w/8 GB Ram and measure @ 60HZ:
Vsync on: avg 53 Peak 60
Vsync off: avg 63 Peak 94
Everything set to high or highest except AA set to Low.

Make sure the cable that is plugged into your monitor is in your GPU. If it is plugged into your motherboard you will be using the integrated graphics.
If not try and get the latest drivers and see what that does.

When I switched to big picture mode in the steam client it listed Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 as the display device, when I upped the resolution for big picture mode it warned me against it saying I only had 128MB VRAM !
How can I be sure that the game at least is using the 1060 rather than the Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 ?

I humbly apologize for my obscene ignorance . It was plugged into the motherboard rather than the GPU. Just got an average of 50FPS on mostly high settings.
Thank God you did find out. Have fun man and thanks for the laugh

Glad it was an easy fix.
Dxdiag is a fun little thing. You can get a quick glimpse of computer guts if you're ever on one.

Don't worry about it, most people have done the same thing before.

I wish I'd had a similar guide before my GF left me...

This wins the internet!
Edit: But I thought NO means Yes. And YES means do it harder?
