Tips on how to boost performance?

[King Of Lolis]

To keep it short,i dont know anything about pc's, at all. Literally 0 knowledge except how to install games.
I have 9 minutes left of gameplay before i hit the 2 hour mark so wanna be sure if this can be fixed or not so i can refund given game is way over my budget.

This game dosent look that high in graphics like I can run red dead redemption 2 in 60 fps without a problem and yet this game struggles a bit.
For example some areas take a few seconds to render in or cutscenes might be too fast like at the start when the ship was crashing, the evil elf was supposed to be looking near a table right? well table didnt load in so felt weird.

I might have messed up at the start because it asked me dx11 or vulkan and i chose vulkan because it sounds cooler.
Settings all are set on medium graphics, combat does go smooth.

oh and my pc specs i got when googled if that helps
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100 CPU @ 3.90GHz
Video Card Radeon RX 570 Series
Operating System Windows 10
RAM 8.0 GB


before someone says get new pc or upgrade it, save your breath i only have 4 euros left to my name and i aint getting big money anytime soon

Based on the information you have provided I recommend a refund.
Have this extra for the future when you want to optimise your PCs performance for gaming in general

it can improve the performance with Baldur's Gate 3 drastically, but it will not do much in your specific case as your system is bottlenecked too tight. Therefore my fair and honest recommendation without giving you false hopes: refund. Save your money, especially if you are tight with that.

Alternative would be playing the game via GeForce Now - the Nvidia game stream subscription while owning the game in your Steam Library.

But since you are tight on money it is not something I can recommend.

Yes. The same brand. They are offering a quite popular game streaming service, which basically runs Steam games on their PC and you then stream them on your display with high speed internet.

You can try their service out and check whether your internet works with the service:

More that time is no good to your PC. Back then I thought 8GB RAM would suffice for gaming all time and 16GB is only something for video editors. Nowadays I recommend 32GB minimum for gaming whenever one is going to buy a new desktop PC.

just to know for the future, can one replace 8gb with 32 gb easily? like swap it out like they are batteries?

Depending on the mainboard, yes.

thats all i need to know,thanks
could keep the game now,save up the money somehow and replace it in few months if it isnt that expensive

If you have a desktop PC, you can probably add to or replace memory. But since both your CPU and GPU are below min spec, I'm not sure how much adding RAM alone is going to get you.

You can try turning down other graphics settings, and *enabling* FSR (if you haven't already).

On the outside chance your desktop has an SSD (solid state) and HDD (spinning disk), move the game to SSD if possible.

Its below? Weird given i changed graphic card back in may for red dead redemption 2 because game ran 30 fps on low graphics. Now its on high and 60 so i kind of thought i can run every game now just fine, especially bg3 given its 2 years old if counting early access.

And dont have ssd, i checked that in summer for cyberpunk

You know, I'll amend what I said there. The min recommended AMD GPU is an RX 480, and you have a 570, so that's roughly at min spec. On the CPU side, it's a bit less clear. You have an i3-7100, which has 2 cores/4 threads. The min recommended CPU is an i5-4690, which is older, but has 4 cores/4 threads.

As for your results with RDR2 - every game is different. Some are demanding in different ways than others. Performance in one game isn't necessarily reflective of performance in others.

If you want to look at a RAM upgrade, find some guides, check what motherboard you have, what RAM config it supports, and what RAM configuration you're running now (an app like CPU-Z can help with that). Going up to 16GB or 32GB certainly wouldn't *hurt* (and will help system performance in general). We just can't guarantee that this will solve the performance issues you mentioned here.

thanks for explaining,i see the point now
think il get some small part time job now and hopefully earn enough for a 32 gb ram
il also ask my pc bud if i can replace it or it wouldnt match, he built my pc after all

Limits your FPS to 30. And you dont need more than 16gb of ram. Its a waste of money.
