unstable/drops fps

[Voyager_19]

hey people, I'm playing this piece of ♥♥♥♥ with my pc because I gave it a lot of time, the first time I played it was with a 2070 and even with those it performed poorly, but currently I have a 3070 and not even with that the game runs at a stable 60 on high, in Bill's City I had horrendous fps drops, almost referring to power point and other various areas of the game where the fps drop to 40 or 50, any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea why this? or if this can even be played stably in good quality, I play in 1080p and that happens whether I use dlss or not and I prefer not to use dlss because the game looks worse.

Pc specs:

RTX 3070
32gb ddr4 3200mhz 4x8
Ryzen 5 5600g (igpu disable)

I had very good experience. No stutters and no frame drops or anything sketchy.
Framerate hoovering around ~90-100. Resolution 2560x1440, high settings and DLSS quality.

i7 13700K
RTX 3070 Ti
32GB DDR5


EDIT: 5600g is kinda crappy CPU overall to have paired with 3070. It handicaps your GPU.

[surb02]

because the gpu in itself isnt much of an improvement and any improvement you could get you dont because of that crappy cpu

[<empty>]

heavy cpu bottleneck

So, which Ryzen 5000 CPU do you recommend? Do you think a 5600x can be enough?

[Max Steiner]

From what I could find on the web (never had AMD myself) the 5600x seem to be the the winner of that class. And also, you don't need a cpu with a gpu like the 5600g, since you have decent graphic card.

Is this disabled via Windows or BIOS? Boot to BIOS and make sure the primary video is set to your PCI-E slot.

Here is a nice long list of questions about your PC. Along with some suggestions and things you can try. Seems like a lot but all steps do not take long at all to do.

Have you simply tried to verify game files?

Are you using an SSD, HDD, or NVMe?

Is the game installed on same drive as Windows?

Are you OC GPU and/or CPU? If so, put back to default.

Running any monitoring software? Try to disable.

How are your CPU/GPU temps while playing?

Are you on Win 10 or 11? If 11, did you use the upgrade process from Win 10? Doing the upgrade process sometimes causes issues with moving files and can cause the system file structure to become corrupt. Which in turn can cause issues with games. It is always good to do a clean install as this has fixed issues for others.

Try a clean boot. A clean boot will remove any potential conflicts with other software running in background. So disable all non essential services, programs and tasks from starting with PC. So use services (services app or system configuration app), tasks (task scheduler app, select task scheduler library), and startup items (task manager) to disable them.

Check all 3 areas. If anyone is enabled that software will run and could be causing conflicts with the game. This will also help free up system resources in general, and should improve performance.

Try to update or reinstall your GPU driver. I would recommend 566.36. As the latest driver seems to have a lot of issues currently being that they add many new features. I'd hold off on using 572.16 if that is what you are on.

Before you install the driver, make sure to run DDU first. You will need to download the display driver before you begin. I would recommend to just install the driver only.

Running DDU will remove previous driver/s completely and ensure a clean install. Like its being done for the first time on a newly installed OS. Just note that all NVIDIA control panel (app)/monitor settings will be reset and whenever you update the display driver the shaders will recompile for this game and others.

Here is link for DDU. Make sure to read/follow guide if unfamiliar. Its in the link. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5192

After the display driver installed successfully, make sure to reboot the PC even if not prompted. Once rebooted, open NVIDIA control panel, navigate to manage 3D settings, select Texture Filtering - Quality, and set this to performance. It should help give a bit more FPS and not degrade visual quality of the game.

If you got a Windows update. Make sure it is on latest public build. No insider, preview, or optional updates.

Disable windows game mode, game bar, and game captures.

If you use an anti-virus, windows security, or data protection. Make exceptions to your game folders. This way it disables the scans and doesnt conflict with your games starting up and take away system resources as you are playing. Which may be causing slowdowns as well.

Make sure your motherboard's BIOS is up to date. If an update is available. Make sure to default settings before updating. Once update is done. Set the correct XMP/EXPO/DOCP profile if supported.

Have you tried with or without Re-Bar (aka Smart Access Memory)? This setting is found in your motherboard's BIOS as well.

You can also do an SFC (system file checker) scan. Open command prompt and type this:

sfc /scannow

It will scan and repair system files. Run it twice.

Try those suggestions. If it doesnt help let us know.

What resolution do you play at? Like others said, this sounds like a typical CPU Bottleneck. The game is really CPU heavy. If you are playing at 1080p, might want to try 1440p if you are able. You will have less FPS, but would potentially be more stable. Just depends.

I see occasional FPS drops on my PC at 1080p, that is with a 4070 and a 5800x3d.

1080p i cant play in a superior resolution,my screen is 1080p and how this game dont have fullscreen i cant change the resolution

The game does not have full screen, only borderless. Which is basically the new DX12 standard.

If you have trouble with this game on multiple systems or upgraded hardware. its either a user issue/setting, configured poorly, or software/hardware issue.

I listed plenty of things for you to try to help boost your system's performance. If you cant be bothered with what the community offers to help. Id say stick to console.

[Raider Deci]

As long as you absolutly dont max everything out you should be able to atleast hold 60 on fairly high settings. Im doing that just fine with my 2070 (so ofc also 1080p) without dlss. Having it paired with a i7 8700 (and an old driver though, 561.09)
This game atleast comes with a good options-menu. Good in the sense that you have a preview and a bar that tells you when you hit the vram-wall

What are your temps & what are the gpu-usage (%)? And maybe the cpu too

pudiste solucionarlo? yo tengo una 4060 y lo tengo instalado en su ssd m.2 y aun asi me da tirones

[Voyager_19]

Nada de nada considerando que la 3070 es mas potente que una 4060 pues por lo visto el problema si es del cpu,viendo bastante por ahi es mejor cambiar el procesador siempre y cuando tengas un ryzen con integrados lo mejor es cambiarlo por otro mas potente,almenos por lo que vi el 5600g tiene menos cache y pci 3.0 que no creas pero si limita,con una 4060 lo mejor que he visto es usar dlss,ya que la 4060 tiene mala configuracion de memorias y poco ancho de banda,eso hace que la gpu se quede corta si se intenta jugar en altas resoluciones y altos graficos,por lo que esa gpu es muy recomendado usar dlss casi siempre

this game ran like crap when it first launched on pc. i have bought every edition of the game since its original launch, and i consider it one of the best games ever made.

granted i have a 13900k and 4080 but the game runs absolutely flawless. full max settings, no dlss, no frame gen, zero AI upscale and i am sitting at a pretty 120 fps @ 2k (1440p).

compared to launch, it is night and day difference.

[AmaiAmai]

Keep in mind the 5600G is not the same chip as the 5600X. It has less cache per core, which could matter more in buggy and terribly ported games like this.

Actually it will matter a lot in many games, but esp. games like this and Monster Hunter World etc. -- they all have similar poor performance issues and terrible code the devs are too lazy to fix.

I would not upgrade a CPU for 1 or 2 games unless money wasn't an object. But if money wasn't an object, it'd be better to move to a newer platform if you can get a bundle like the Microcenter ones.

[LexCord]

yo tengo la misma grafica con un i5 10400f, en ultra me va a 40-60 en espacios grandes. posiblemente tanto en tu caso como el mio sea cuello de botella. unos dioses los que hicieron el port de la parte 2 porque va MUCHISIMO mejor
