low fps fix?
Im still having trouble finding a fix for my low and inconsistent fps. i would like to think my pc build is an above average build. but yet my pc cant get 60fps on LOW settings for this game still.

pc build
Ryzen 5800x
32gb ram
Nvidia Geforce RTX 3070
a 3440x1440 144hz gygabite monitor and a 2560x1440 144hz acer
installed on SSD with 200+gb still left open.

any advice?

try this, settings > graphics> upscaling > upscaling method and turn it off, I was running with 20 fps at best, and when I deactivated this "option" I was running full 60 fps with no probs

i tried this and it seems to help but my fps is still around 40 and 50 fps when i run the benchmark

MK1 is CPU heavy as the GPU is not running at full load. One thing that definitely helped fix my stutter and slight framerate drop at times (this is despite me having a 13900K + 4090) was removing core parking. Refer to the link below and follow the instructions very carefully. This might help make a big difference.

After doing this, I ran the benchmark and the needle stayed at 60 and didnt flutter even once. Stable as a rock.

There is also the patch 60 fps to try, I'm playing with it too, if that doesn't change much more, now the only thing to do is to tweak your graphics settings in advanced settings until you've got it right^^

The 60 fps patch causes weird graphical glitches so until that is fixed officially I wouldnt mess with that. I have disabled core parking and in the drivers I have enabled ultra low latency and limited fps for MK1 to 60. All these have now allowed me to have a very smooth experience.

yeah, cause' the animation are tied to the fps, so when the fps exceed 30 fps, it causes face glitches, but it only happens in menu animation and fatalities, the gameplay itself is not affected, but I understand that, no prob ^^ I prefer those glitches than running below 30 fps, it makes me sick, like game sick I've not felt in years, haha

I hope they do something, quick, it is unpleasant to have to search for such "fixes", while the game shouldn't need a fix at all

The 60fps to everything should be done like how MK11 got patched. Nothing should be at 30 fps. Hopefully that happens sooner than later through an official patch. However you definitely want to disable core parking. That seriously made a difference for me..

Many suggested disabling e-cores in the BIOS but I was like... hell no. I aint doing that just for one game, until someone suggested doing core parking stuff and that was truly a game changer.

Unpark your cores like the guy above mentioned.

Also go to Control Panel - Power Options - Set it to Balanced.

Then go to Start - Settings - System - Power - Set that to Best Performance.

There’s apparently a glitch with the old legacy power option and the new one.

Disbaling E Cores works as well but you have an AMD processor.

Go to your NVCP and set max frame rate to 60 fps. Set Latency mode to ultra and set power management mode to prefer maximum performance.

You can also try Process Lasso.

Try setting the CPU Affinity in task manager to Above Normal.

I have max performance power plan and I just had to disable core parking. On driver side, latency and max fps to 60 is set as always. With these settings, it runs a lot smoother now. E cores are still enabled btw so I dont think that disabling them really matters now with the changes I made.
