Performance Issues

[juskom95]

The minimum specifications appear to be wrong or something else is poorly optimized within this game.

Reading the discussion and people are claiming to play on systems meeting the min, specs, but I exceed that and am barely seeing 7 FPS on the lowest settings and everything else closed.

I think this game needs some serious optimization before it should have been released as Early Access. Or the specifications on the store page need updated.

I am seeing 14FPS with a 3080ti I notice that the GPU is not even being utilized though. 210mhz and idling at 40c. Not even enough to get the fans spinning. That can't be right...?

It is EA - so optimization is usually done at the end of beta development. so might be a while before we see any. but to add, I am getting 30fps on medium on the steamdeck, so there is something else not right with your system. What resolution are youn running?

Are you sure the game's not using your pc's chip set, rather than it's GPU? (Not a "tech type", so apologies in advance if that's worded poorly.)

I'm running a RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, and even on medium it's maxed out. I noticed that going from DX12 to DX11 made a huge impact (but made it look worse). My GPU is fully utilized, so I have to run the game at low-medium

It was the weirdest thing. In EVGA Precision X the target power was set to 0. I had been taking a break from AAA games lately and didn't even notice.

I am now getting 80fps on high setting and at 3440x1440p. So nothing to complain about now.

I get that, not my first EA title, but running sub-ten FPS is a little much.

I had it set to low on 1920x1080

I'm running a Ryzen 9 3900, 1660 TI and 32gb of ram. Not the top end of the requirements, but I should see above 10 fps on low settings.

I just tried DX11 and that got me to 100fps. That is where I kinda need it. In these first person games, 90fps and below start to mess with my eyes and distracts from the game. I am going to try for 120 now,

So, the game is a bit unoptimized. When I first got into the game world I had some stuttering, but I think that was due to the game compiling shaders on the fly, and the stuttering went away after a few minutes.

I have a good gaming system and the game runs on Ultra settings at 120+ fps at 1440p. So it's not like the game is horribly unoptimized. Not sure why your framerate is so low, maybe running out of VRAM?

Quick update, for me at least, it turns out my PC was in power saving mode. After updating I can now run on DX11 on High with no issues

I am running a 13600K, 3080Ti, 32gb ram, at 1440p with all settings on epic and have not dropped under 100fps. I have not had any stuttering issues at all either.

Yeah, I worked it out. I am getting similar performance with a 9700k. And I have zero overclock.

I've played a few, this seems to be more than a bit unoptimized. Reason why I posted this was to get some idea what others were running, possible fixes and see what the devs had to say.

GPU use was averaging %28, CPU and Memory use were low as well.

This game is more GPU heavy than any other game I've played, as it's the only game that maxes out my 4090 without even hitting my monitor refresh rate of 144.

I updated Nvidia drivers and dropped from locked 60fps to 15fps and under. Looks to be a driver issue , 3080ti here.

Edit: Can confirm, rolled back Nvidia driver to 528 and back up above 100fps during gameplay.

I'll have to see which version I'm on, driver issue with a new EA game wouldn't be surprising.
