Game now working on a 10 year old pc running 1050Ti
Just posting this incase this might help others not realising there are driver options on nvidia cards and also a new app to replace GeForce experience.

I stated now working, as when I beta tested it was playable to a point, where it started to just closed the game when teleporting.
This first release however loaded, it played for about 3 mins running around and then game closed. Tried again and this time I was met with a popup screen that I ran out of memory. Tried another time and it just locked up frozen on loading shaders.
So I decided to ditch the Nvidia gaming drivers, also uninstalled GeForce experience, Installed Nvidia App (currently beta) https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/software/nvidia-app/ I then installed the Nvidia studio drivers. I have not had any memory leaks or extreme lag spikes. The game is now playable on my toaster PC... specs below.

I have an i3 10100 paired with a 3080.
I'm getting +96% CPU with minimum graphics and DLSS/FSR. Game is going "60/70fps"for 3 to 5 seconds, then suddenly drops to 28 for like 2 seconds.

I DO KNOW my CPU is not a bottleneck, it is THE bottleneck...
But the game promoted to "i5 3570", and my i3 is quite better than that one.

Is there a way to remove/improve something from the gameConfig.ini file ?

I have no idea about gameconfig ini file I am sorry. Is it something I can share to give my settings to you?

Perhaps its settings you have in your nvidia app, or lack of ram? I have a the MSI B75MA-E33 motherboard it sadly has no more updates for bios either.

:LotusFlower::Lotus::Grineer::Excalibur::Corpus: Ahh Warframe Not sure if you realise the time stated in steam is not actual game playtime, sadly the time logged in steam is just how long you have had the game actually running even if you are not logged in. The actual game time is done by doing /profile usernamehere whilst in game. Warframe is something I have taken a step back from for a bit whilst I am entertained by various other games which have grabbed my interest, palia, first decendant, undawn, but I think once human has really caught my attention.

The lower the graphics/GPU load the higher the CPU load will be. Generally speaking. By upping the graphics settings and loading the GPU more heavily you should actually see the CPU load drop a bit.
