anyone know if a rtx 3070ti and a i7 10700f is good enough to run this game at max settings i've heard the i7 10700f isn't the best cpu for gaming

[Jrm]

Not at max settings and depends on the resolution too.

It will run fine at Medium / Balanced preset with Upscale at balanced or maybe quality with 1440p in selected in menu.

[Orthrus Dragon]

I run it fine on balanced with a 2060 and 16 gigs of ram.

is the i7 really that bad?

[Oussebon]

It's not about your CPU. Your CPU should be fine for this game.

The game is very demanding on the graphics card, such that even a fairly decent GPU like your 3070 ti may struggle with max settings.

You'll need to adjust settings and/or use upscaling. And as the person above said, it depends on your resolution too.

re: the CPU, even my 3770k was happy feeding the GPU enough for ~60fps (mostly...)
during the demo. Your CPU is way, way better than my poor, tired 3770k. :)

No.

Obviously the 10700F is a few years old and there are better CPUs on the market today because technology advances, but your 10700F is still more than adequate for a lot of modern games, especially if you are playing on the highest quality settings you can manage (where the performance limiter is typically the graphics card).

If you were playing Fortnite on competitive settings, aiming for 600+ FPS, or whatever, then you might need to think about upgrading your CPU. Or certain specific AAA titles (Hogwarts Legacy with raytracing turned on, certain areas of Starfield maybe).

But Enshrouded is not a twitch shooter, and doesn't seem to ask too much of the CPU.

Also Enshrouded is early access so (hopefully) it will also see further performance fixes and optimisations going forward too.

TLDR: You can probably buy the game and not worry about your CPU being what limits your enjoyment of it.:)

"it run fine" mean it runs at 22 fps and you've never known any better

Thanks for the advice problem with me is i'm legally blind so I can't upgrade by myself so I try not to buy games my hardware can't handle also you said twitch streaming uses more cpu?

[Oussebon]

Well, your hardware should handle this game well enough.

Steam has a 2 hour refund policy too so if you buy it and the experience is no good, just refund it. But I think you'll be fine with those specs to be honest, as long as you adjust graphics settings in-game and don't just max everything out.

And, sorry if I caused confusion by mentioning Twitch shooters.

When I said "twitch shooters" this means a kind of game that needs extremely fast and precise player responses, usually to shoot other players before they shoot you. Players making sudden movements of the mouse look like arm twitches, hence the name twitch shooter.

Typically gamers play these at very, very high framerates - hundreds of frames per second - to get a competitive advantage, and that is a scenario where an older CPU is more likely to start limiting performance. I was just saying that this does not apply to Enshrouded. Enshrouded is not that kind of game. And in my experience, even older CPUs do okay in Enshrouded.

I wasn't talking about streaming gameplay on twitch.

Thanks for the advice

Using a Ryzen 7 3700x CPU and a RTX 3080Ti GPU and run this game on max settings with out any issues. So curious as to why would a 3070Ti need to run on medium? Is the 3080 Ti really that much more powerful than a 3070Ti ?

[NavalGrandmaster]

very good question all I know is my fps is all over it could be as high as 100 and drop as low as 40 I don't think that's normal

[J-&Dre]

Too often is resolution overlooked. I tend to favor 4k over fps in atmospheric games, like this one.

Running a i9-11900, Rtx 3080 ti 32gb 3200 ddr4.

Indeed in 4k I can't keep 60fps. Dips to 40-45 sometimes but average is 55 fps.

With 1080p/1440p you should be able to run it fairly close to that.

[NavalGrandmaster]

for me it'll be 100 fps then drop to 70 and sometimes 40 that's not normal right?

Might want to check if your VRAM doesn't max out, because this can tank your fps.

Keep in mind it is also early access.

as far as vram all i know how to do is use the xbox app for pc i don't think it's as accurate as msi after burner but i don't really know how to use that

[Gibbel]

I am using a 3080 and ryzen 5600x
Settings on quality - DLSS on quality and capt FPS in NVIDIA control panel to 60 FPS. So far it's 60 FPS all the time. Mind you I am just at that start like 3 hours in.
