1660 Super Settings

[DavyJonesXIV]

Does anyone have a Asus 1660 Super GeForce GTX?

If so, what settings do you use? I have tried EVERYTHING and I am starting to think this card can not handle this game.

I have even tried running it on the lowest settings, 1080p and 720p and it runs like complete dog s***!! Forget running it on the highest settings, 2160p, my PC slows to a crawl, almost to the point of not working.

I matched my Nvidia Control Panel setting to the New World settings and nothing. Am seriously lost!!

These are my current setting and the game struggles and lag and stutters it way down the road:

Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
GPU Boost Clock : 1900
GPU Voltage (%) : 00075
Memory Clock (%) : 15000
Fan Speed (%) : 00050
Power Target (%) : 00100
GPU Temp Target (C) : 00070
Frame Rate Target (FPS) : 00060
Monitor Refresh Rate: : 60Hz

Any help someone can offer would be amazing!!

???? post your specs

[Kam7r]

your cpu is the problem i think since NW is a cpu intensive game

60hz could have a effect on the game as well

Idk, but yeah could either be the cpu or ram? I'm doing fine on a potato powered toaster and getting solid 60FPS on LOW settings @ 720p.

GTX 960 2GB
AMD 3600
16GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz

i have a 1650 and im running this game Just fine , 70Fps, not sure what kinda graphic quality, ill be honest i havent touched it at all, i believe its on high. probably not the card the culprit.

If I'm just in town doing stuff or I'm just somewhere where I want to enjoy the view and do some screenshots, I'll put the graphics settings on max. Looks really good for a MMO.

But if I'm out in the wild and expecting a fight or just doing some bow shooting, I'll switch the graphics settings back to low because it gets me 100-120 FPS and that makes a huge difference if you're shooting.

I don't really understand what the fuss is about 60FPS. It's no better than 50 and is pretty much garbage for an action game, especially if you're going to shoot anything, be it a bow or gun.

The graphics look plenty good enough on low. So if you have to play on low, don't worry about it, it looks fine.

I have 1080ti and am running at 3440x1440. I think the game runs pretty well on this older GPU I'm still using.

The amount of vRAM is probably going to matter if you're going to try running on max graphics. I have 11 and get 30-50 FPS on max settings. Not good enough for shooting, but otherwise still OK.

I have an ancient i7 CPU, I'm actually thinking about donating it to a museum and buy a new one. But the game runs fine with that CPU.

The game seems to be really heavy on the CPU side, I'm personally running off a 9900k, 16GB 3600mhz cl16 and a RTX 3070, and *most of the time* the 3070 dosen't even run near it's max performance, even at 2560x1440 with highest settings, it's still usually only 70%ish under load.

The CPU on the other hand, especially in towns, ramps up a few threads so much that they cap out, which is *usually* a Indicator for a very big cpu bottleneck in that specific game.

Considering that even my 9900k is dropping to the low 40ish fps in towns, Intel 4th gen is likely to be really limiting there I assume.

The game has some serious spaghetti code. It leverages the CPU more than the GPU, you can bang the settings to max and resolution and it would still dump most of the work on the cpu.

Sadly, it will likely never change. I doubt the Devs will address it the same way they denied having anything to do with blowing up 3090's.

I have a 1660S asus.

I run terrain, textures, objects @ very high, everything else medium. 1080p. cap FPS to 30, I could cap FPS to 60 but then my PC gets around 70 degrees and I'd rather keep it cooler.

i think i have heard of people running this game on 1080 so something else is the problem

I'm trying to see which setting in particular lowers the load on the CPU, especially in towns it tends to be a huge bottleneck.

( My load In and outside of towns, still 9900k/3070 @ 1440p):

I'll let you guys know when I find a setting which reduces the load on the CPU, If there is one, it should be really improving FPS on older CPUs (paired with proper GPUs, of course) and in towns for most people with newer rigs.

one of the settings that helps is actually nameplates being lowered.

I actually tried it but sadly didn't notice any mayor improvements.
I was able to get the config file narrowed down (/appdata/AGS/New world/savedata), but didn't find any extra settings in there, tho they may need to be added manually, I hit up amazongames's support, asking for any extra settings we may be able to change in the config file to reduce specifically CPU load.
