FPS issues are just too much

[Last Seraph]

Ashamed to admit it, but I'm dropping the difficulty down to story. FPS spiking down to 5 makes this functionally unplayable at normal difficulty.

I've been waiting for this game since it was announced, so I'll be damned if I refund it.

What PC do you have?
I will play only 10 hours later - i have 7800x3d and 7800xt @ 2k resolution and pcie 4.0 nvme ssd - i hope i can play 2k@max/high settings at least with 60+ fps :)

You could try this if you are desperate for some extra frames. I can't get Nvidia frame generation to work for whatever reason.

Ryzen 2700x, 32gb ram, 2070, sata SSD. Started on 1080p with the settings mostly on low, turned it down to 720p and turned everything down to low that wasn't already on low, still getting FPS spikes, but not as bad.

Funnily enough, the CPU isn't even really taxed. I ran some software tracking the CPU load and my processor isn't having issues as far as I can tell. Problem appears to be in the GPU, which is weird as I figured it would be the CPU given the sysreqs posted to Steam. I've heard from other people that this has something to do with the tutorial map, as apparently, it gets better once you get off Huntress.

4070 running at max settings at around 90fps... but as soon as a fight starts it spikes down to 20-30fps for a few moments. Seems like shader compilation issues.

That's something worth noting I think - if I'm not in combat, when the FPS is not spiking, I run 60 FPS easy, even before I turned the resolution down and cranked down the quality.

honestly it feels like standard UE5 sort of stuff, usually it gets better as devs work out the kinks but every UE5 game i've played has had some issues at launch like this

Same and this is how I feel about it:

20xx series cards aren't holding up for this game. My friends can barely run it either. I've got a 3090 and 5950x and running 4k with max settings except for shadows and holding pretty steady at 70ish frames. I'm sure there will be some optimization passes fairly quick to bring up performance on rigs like yours, but I wouldn't expect too much.
Not trying to be mean or rude or anything like that, but we've kindof started to reach beyond the plateau of what your pc can handle, it's showing its age unfortunately :(.

I'm planning on upgrading to a 5800x and a 3070 by the end of the year anyway, so it's not a huge problem.

What annoys me is that the stated sysreqs are in the realm of what I have - and frankly, this game doesn't run like what you'd expect of a rig that meets the system requirements.

imagine paying money to buy a "modern" game at launch. Sadly that's the new reality, always wait a month or so, or simply be a paying beta tester.

I would stop dreaming about decent framerates above 1080p on anything done on unreal, now and forever.
By the time devs start figuring out the horrid mess that unreal is, they have a new version out (and yes they already are cooking a new one and that'll mean all these troubles, all over again, wooow!)

Man, buy at least 5800x3d version - it's MUCH better for games - compare to usual 5800x.

Why you need to buy 3070? Buy 7xxx amd or 4xxx nvidia- nvidia have dlss 3.0 frame gen

At least UE 5.4 got performance improvements, but I guess the devs won't upgrade.

Motherboard compatibility, mostly, but I'd also have to buy a new power supply to support any 40 series cards (I'm on a 750 watt PS). 5800x is the best CPU my board will support, according to the MSI manual. Unless I derped up and missed something -- knowing me that's entirely possible tbh.

I'm hoping to skip the 40 series generation of graphics cards altogether. I'm hoping that whatever comes next is more... reasonable, when it comes to wattage requirements, so that when I build the PC that comes after the one I have now, I can just jump to top end for the first time in my life lol.

Might end up going AMD for the first time in over a decade if when that time comes, Nvidia aren't making a GPU that requires me to basically have a power supply that rivals a refrigerator.
