Gonna have to disagree on all of that, but as long as you're enjoying the game, that's all that matters, bud.

same ^^ your settings and game visuals, not mine. my fps perception, not yours ^^

That is a older gpu, so I guess the performance will not be very good. Most game being developed today will be try to do their best to be as accessible as possible, but sometimes it is harder to sell when they are developing a game with cutting edge features.

Icarus is moving forward, and I bet Ark 2 will be the same (when it comes out).

My suggestion is to look into getting a newer gpu. Sorry and good luck.

That GPU is from 2019. Absolutely no one with a brain refers to a 2019 GPU as "older".

If you think the age of the GPU is the only factor you are going to be mind blown by this.

A GTX 1080ti came out in 2017 and is up to 90% faster than a 1660ti. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY3GMQ-viA0

The fact that you cite Ark is hilarious. That game looks terrible for how it runs. I don't know a single person in my personal circle that brings up that game when amazing graphics comes up. A 1660ti can run almost any game out now at over 60FPS 1080p at highest settings.

This game however will be absolutely forgotten by the end of the year, like every other Rocketwerkz game before it (none of them are well known, like at all). Hell I've not even heard about this game before today. I don't sub to discussions, so this a pump and dump. Cheers.

Speak for yourself. It's a huge difference. I guess some people don't have the ability to tell the difference? 30 fps looks terrible to me and I struggle to play games with such a low framerate.

so you struggle to watch a movie like lets say in a theater? or did you struggle watching a dvd (despite the resolution of course)? how many frame do you expect a movie to run at so you dont see the same lag or whatever you think to see as when playing a game on 30fps?

One should first seek to understand the topic before engaging in discussion. You don't even understand the basic concepts.

ok, i'll leave this thread to the frame addicts then, was just trying to help, have fun tho ;)

I think back in 2012 (or around that time?) or so 30 fps was tolerable and noone would care because that's the norm. But, like most technology, things change. For example, once I went with a two monitor setup I can never go back to single monitor. The same goes for me that once I got 60 fps, it was a huge difference. Maybe some people haven't gotten to that point yet but it is definitely the new norm.

FYI Running RTX2080 on my laptop average 60-80 fps with graphics settings med/high running in 2K resolution. Game is very good for beta imo

on some things id agree, like 1080p is a minimum (720p absolute minimum with sacrifices, 480p is not watchable) but 4k is a luxury and the difference between 1080 and 4k is just small compared to between 4080 and 1080 so its luxury while the other is necessary. some are just unnecessary luxury you get used to, doesnt make it any more necessary than it actually is. its fine if you can play this on 60 frames but below 60 and above 20 doesnt make it unplayable, its just less luxury

I'm sorry mate, but I'm going to have to completely disagree with you here. The difference between 30 and 60 FPS is instantly noticeable to someone who is used to 60+. It's not something you have to "really try and test and focus on" to notice it. I've been gaming on PC for most of my life and I always keep a Playstation around for their exclusives. It always take some time to get used to 30FPS again when I go from PC gaming to console gaming. Which is why I'm glad that so many games on the new consoles target 60fps.

What's more, PC gamers are more and more moving away from 60fps. It's become normal for people to play at 100+ FPS in many types of games (especially shooters) with 144fps being the gold standard. Playing a game like Escape from Tarkov feels like you're at a disadvantage at 60fps, I really can't imagine trying to play it at 30.

You say this like it's a "gotcha!", but some movies do genuinely feel awful because of the FPS, especially in action scenes. A common complaint many people have is that in some movies they can't follow what's happening in the action scenes. This is because the producers didn't compensate for the fact that their movie is only running at 24fps.
I'd be very happy to see higher framerates in movies and all the people complaining about it looking "weird" just need to get used to the new framerate.

That's sensible. Also, props for the other good example with the screen resolution that I completely agree with. To reach their own as they say.

Im With zoopy with this one, 30 fps is unplayable IMHO. If it gets 30fps I lower the settings until I get to at least a steady 50+ .

I never could play at 30 fps . That's why I don't own a console.

[Falonious]

I run a 3060ti, i7 10700k and can run the game on ultra and it looks awesome, go down to high and trees/bushes are blurred. Also I can't play on dx11, numerous crashes, have to use dx12. This game is desperate for optimization. Can they not do this now to help players like the OP? I would have thought this a wise selling point.

Ive actually been able to test basic GTX 1660 to RTX 3060Ti throughout this beta testing period.. and its playable and enjoyable. 1660 on medium ran smoothly, range of around 40/50fps, except for large fires came into play, got a bit chonky... Also the light quality under the tree canopy tended to be a bit darker than I expected. None the less, it ran well for being in its testing stage and im sure it'll do better once finalized/optimized.

As of last beta test weekend, I finally made the upgrade to a 3060ti and it was amazing.. both performance and visual. Can't say anything less, fluid at about 80fps, maxed settings. There were two spikes that occurred that I did note, pushing gpu to 100%, which I have a hunch were due to the top-down map loading-in bugs. Other then that... huge difference in gameplay just with the luxury of better appeal/visual graphics being completely fluid.

I don't do any of this fancy 4k stuff.. just 1080 gaming. But its clear that this game really utilizes the newer RTX hardware. Either way, both cards ran it well enough to be playable in my case. 10700k w/ ssd being the base for installation.
