I just installed Saints Row: The Third on my fairly new PC, and no matter what graphics settings I use, and regardless of whether I run the game in DirectX 10/11 mode or DirectX 9 mode, my frame rate is never above 10fps. I have just updated my graphics drivers, sound drivers, and verified latest DirectX End User Runtime from Microsoft is installed, and has Steam verify game files. I even tried unplugging my Logitech USB headset, just in case it was causing a problem. I also disabled my anti-virus software, and then manually stopped the services. Here's a link to my DxDiag.txt:
Here are my relevant systems specs:
- AMD FX-8120 Processor (overclocked by 10%)
- ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard
- 16GB of G.SKILL DDR3 RAM
- ASUS ENGTX560 DCII (stock overclocked) Graphics Card with 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
- SilverStone ST75F-G 750W PSU
- ASUS VE247H 23.6-Inch 1920x1080 LED Monitor
I can run it on the lowest resolution with the lowest graphics settings, and it will run at 10fps. I can run it at 1920x1080, and it will run at 10fps. Some assistance would be appreciated.

I just noticed Steam say it had finished downloading Saints Row: The Third, and I just wanted to mention that if there was an update it did not make any difference with this issue. Game performance is still terrible and unplayable.

Update your motherboard bios :)

Well, I just flashed my BIOS. Don't ask me why I did it now when I didn't care enough to do it a couple of months ago when I built this new system, but I saw your message and I just said "sure, why not". Anyway, it solved my problem. No more performance issues. Thanks for the kick in the head.

Just an interesting note: After installing that BIOS update, now when I launch Saints Row: The Third, my second monitor goes completely black, whereas it didn't do that before. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the fact that I am running the DX10/11 version, and I have to running with my 'global' NVIDIA driver settings which include "Single Display Performance Mode". I had tried "Multiple Display Performance Mode" and whatever they call their compatibility mode for the DX9 binary when I was having all of the trouble with it.

as far as the multiple display issue, is it multiple cards, or multiple outputs on a single card? I am currently on my new radeon cards so i cant double check the nvidia global settings necessary... im sure its probably just an issue with the output/cloning settings in the nvidia control center.
