I have a 7700x and a 7900xtx and I also get big frame drops. I feel like it might be an amd processor thing. I try to stay at 120fps locked but I get big dips when with notifications.

I play on a Ryzen 7 2700X, no fps drops whatsoever on that game.

[La_Chose]

Is there a difference performance wise between the standard edition and the Director's cut ?

[Rasghul]

weird way to flex.

Nah, trade your gpu for a 4090 or buy another one of yours and put it in sli to be able to run this game. Also make sure you keep shoveling the right amount of coal into the furnace in one of your country's power plant because solar and wind just won't cut it.

Hey there!

Yeah - let's do some answering!^^

Hi Reap,

You must be really happy to have this wonderful machine up and running ! The specs sound really great !

What does Death Stranding OC mean ? Is it the standard edition or the Director's cut ?

I've got a well optimized but much less poweful PC. I played the standard edition that I got for free on Epic game store. I was impressed with the stability of that game with everything set on ultra. I capped my fps at 98 fps and I have never seen it dropping lower than 97 fps through the entire story (yes, I'm one of those aweful people who can't help but playing with a fps counter...).

I had a similar problem in another game. Ultra settings or lowest settings wouldn't make any difference. It turned out to be that the game didn't like the use of an analog stick at the same time as a mouse. I remapped my analog stick to WSAD and it solved my problem. Have you tried unplugging imput devices ?

if you have the same problem with two different PC's, no matter what graphical settings you use, the problem must be somewhere else.

1) Yes, I'm "kind of" happy. PC-System is my hobby, but last upgrade was before round about 7 years.
2) I meaned "DC" for Directors-Cut Version and YES!
2a) There're performance-differences between DC and Regular-Version.

3) Friend of me uses Intel 13400K ... same issues with an ASUS TUF RTX 3090 Ti. Doesn't matters, if the Gamepad is used or not.^^

- Friend of me uses an Intel 13400K and still has the same issues, while he is running an ASUS nVidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti TUF-Gaming card, so nothing really different.

Hmm, I would have opted for a 7800X3D instead of the 7950X3D. For a gaming PC, the second CCD (that doesn't even have 3D cache) is of no use. In fact, most reviewers recommend disabling the second CCD for gaming, as it brings no benefits, but potentially confuses the OS and introduces delays when processes of the same application are spread between different CCDs. The only usecase that I see for the 7950X3D is if you want a high-end gaming rig, but also have demanding multicore productivity workloads that can use all those cores (which may be the case for you).

Personally, for a pure gaming rig, I went with an RTX 4090 and a 7700X in December (would pick a 7800X3D now, but really needed a new rig last year). I deliberately stayed away from CPUs with 2 CCDs (or Intel's P/E core architecture) because I don't trust Windows to schedule the workloads correctly in all cases.

I didn't notice any frame drops when I played the game on that rig.

- I wanted the "Multicore-Performance" in sight of Video-Editing and other stuff which is in need of it, beside of the calculated 7800X3D-Gaming Performance, you know?

- Nice joke ... how ever ... this game is something different in sight of gameplay, and that's why I like it. It's playable - what's so ever - but it "could" perform a lot better!

Dude, I don't need to flex! - My old system, was made out of an Intel 6700K, 4x4Gb DDR4 RAM and a MSi nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6Gb - do you think I flexed the time it was brand new? - Dude, it's 7 years ago/old.

I worked hard as hell for this rig and needed 6 months plus the delay for 7950X3D delivery in total to buy the needed stuff.
- Nothing I would flex about.

@ALL you can take a closer look into my system-settings and some benchmark-results as well as how this thing looks like:

Peace, I'm out.

[stealthy]

I honestly was shocked how well this game is optimized. My Gpu (rtx 4070ti) draws around 40-60 Watt during gaming sessions (playing on maxed graphics setting with capped 75fps on 1440p). Overall CPU (I7 13700K) and GPU usage is very low for me, both around 20%. That said, i ve never had any frame drops or any other problems.

Peace, I'm out.

My system was almost 10 years old before I upgraded it. Cpu from 2013, gpu from 2014. It's a flex no matter what. The game performs well on most recent systems (4-5 years old rigs), and even if there were some drops you could opt in on some tweaks with dlss or the other options like this offered by the game.

Also you didn't mention whether you aim for 2k or 4k though, only "Will it be able to drive Death Stranding DC" which is quite a dumb question tbh when you have a high-end cpu that just got released a month or 2 ago with a high-end gpu that got released way after the initial release of this game. It's an overkill and DS has never really been used as a benchmark of anything. I played it through with my i5 4670+4x2gb ddr3 ram+gtx970+whatever ssd (sata) i was using at that time combo, it wasn't perfect, had some stutters, but I could still enjoy the game. It would have made so much more sense if you asked like 4k/+100fps was possible with this system.

"I worked hard as hell for this rig" living and working in Germany. Alright, seems legit. So you were basically just working. Try the same in any of the East-European countries. The amount of salary you'll get won't even be as much as the amount you can save from your salary after all your basic expenses in Germany, but at least you can work hard to make ends meet and not starve to death or be thrown to the streets because you failed to pay your rent or bills. lol Consider yourself to be lucky you only had to work "hard" for half a year. Others are saving money for years and still be able to afford the bottom of the lower end only.

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't bother me what you can afford, rock on with your rig, it's probably a beast, I could have afford 7950x3d too, I might as well just wait a year before I sell my 7700x for half the price what I paid for and go for any of the 3d v-cache cpu's, but for now I'm fine with what I have. I'm just pointing it out it's an obvious flex, especially when you list your gpu holder and sleeved cables that are totally unrelated to your question.

TLDR: you're flexing.

To be able to save energy, thus save money, you need a lot of money in the first place to be able to buy stuff that can actually save you energy/money, like solar panels and geothermal heat pump. Quite a paradox.

The most problem is, that you don't know me, so "who are you?!" thanks for your meaning in sight of your toxic interpretation of me as person, that I never asked for.

The best is, no matter what I write, you got triggered. It's okay - leave all your frustrations on me, as long as no other dude is attacked by you, I can deal with it.

Yep stupid people are thinking stupid things, that's normal.

[Rasghul]

Let's stop for a second and pretend that you are just clueless and not flexing at all.
Isn't it contradictory that you build a pc for one of your friends not even knowing how it will perform when it's assembled while you are completely unable to use google to search for stuff like "death stranding benchmark" or "7950X3D 3090Ti benchmark" for confirmation in your case. And you call it a flex. Which part is the flex? The give-away part? Yeah, germany, you can throw money around like dirt.
How do you pick the parts again? How did you decide what components that pc actually needs to perform well, or well enough for current gen games? Did you actually use google like everyone else would do in this situation? Why didn't you do it in your own case though? There are only a truckload of tests circling around the internet. Hm... interesting.

I can clearly tell when I smell shait, my dudette and you're full of it.

(Edit: As of this day since you created this wonderful post almost a month ago, you still don't seem to have the game.)
