The frame rate is jumpy&#8230; It will bounce from 2 &#8211; 15 frames  per second on the menus and on races, it will go from 9 &#8211; 2 FPS.  Disney\/Blackrock have been baffled at this. I had a help thread open  with them since the release of the game (5\/18) and the trail of help  seems gone cold&#8230; <\/em> <em><\/p>\n<p>With Blur, I noticed something very similar to Split\/Second where the  game will take forever to load and in the races my frame rate suffers.  However the frame rate is slightly playable with occasional frame rate  dumps to 2-5 FPS and then jerks up to a stable frame rate. I haven&#8217;t  measured the changes with Fraps, so I can&#8217;t give a measurement&#8230; <\/em> <em><\/p>\n<p>However, on browsing both the Steam and Bizarre Creations Forums I have  noticed that some people have been saying that they are noticing that  their processor are being strained yet the graphics cards are barely in  use.
