CPU Requirements are crazy

[Reepus Vanguard]

Basically. CPU requirements are overly high, even higher then the recommended specs for some people, and makes the game very hard to play at a constant fps.

Edit: Just updated the name because this post is still being used for performance discussion, used to be called "4070 Ti SUPER Underutilized"

Edit 2: Removing the topic answer because it seems like people even with the recommended CPU can't even get a stable framerate sometimes. Also won't be updating this post or replying as I'm done trying with this game.

Main issue for me is a have a old motherboard that only supports up to 11th gen intel cpus, so technically i cant really get the best preformance out of this unless i got a brand new motherboard, which just sounds extremely tiring to have to take my pc apart, all just for one game let me remind you, I can run most if not everything else perfectly fine, even if my gpu is bottlenecked. I just dont get why they would make this game have so much strain on the cpu, instead of the gpu.

My PC specs are:
3070
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700KF
16 RAM
The game is installed on the SSD.
In some missions, I have a stable 60 fps and some don't even have 50. The optimization of the game is just terrible.

You're below the recommended system requirements for an average of 60fps at 1080p ultra preset. Your results are to be expected. Perhaps the devs can tweak things to optimize better or add more options that can be turned down so your CPU isn't limiting your performance as much. But it's not like the devs didn't warn you.

I've been enjoying this game a lot, but I've been having performance issues, mainly (I think) from my GPU not being fully used, as it usually stays at 50%, peaking at around 80% to sometimes 90%.
I've tried reinstalling the graphics card driver, which didn't really change much.

With the patch yesterday I noticed this myself. If I used DLSS at 4K on ultra preset it says I am at 80% GPU utilization (rtx4080). If I switch to native that goes to up to 99%, but my FPS dips below 60fps at times. If I had a 14700 or maybe a 13900 maybe I'd be able to stay above 60fps at native 4K ultra. But it seems the 13700KF just isn't up to the task at those settings. On the upside I do seem to be getting a bit better FPS with DLSS on post patch. I get up to about 110 pretty regularly and stay well above 90 when the action is hot and heavy.

I did also notice my temps are way down. When DLSS is on my CPU temps are now 70 degrees, down from 95. When I was playing at 4K native my CPU temps were even lower in the 60s.

At the lowest graphics settings in FHD there is no 60 fps lol

What's the CPU?

Reading comments like yours makes me even more upset because my computer is even weaker than yours

My i5-9400f with 3070 also crawling on 10 to 3 fps only when playing this game

Meanwhile my other pc with R7 2700x & 4070ti can play the game flawlessly on solid 60 fps

Believe it or not, but that 9400F is less capable than the 8600K in the minimum system requirements. Maybe the difference is just enough that even though the 3070 is way above the minimum system requirements the heavy CPU demand of the game is just too much.

The R7 2700X is much more capable. I suspect the higher core and thread count is a big reason. Still that's impressive to get 60fps. What settings are you using? You must have them perfectly balanced for that 2700X+4070ti combo.

Have to imagine a 13th gen i5 or AMD equivalent would allow your 4070ti to fully stretch its wings in SM2. So 800 no... But probably like 300-400 if you wanna go pretty damn solid.

My 4070 stays pegged @99% paired with i7 13700kf

So you're telling me I have to buy a brand new cpu just so that this game will work?

You bought a GPU that is way ahead of it's time and way ahead of any games that are currently out. Are you rendering huge videos and doing tons of video editing? If not, there's no need to get such an upgrade to the GPU lol, especially if you aren't combining it with a CPU upgrade. This fad of people buying the latest overpriced GPUs then wondering why games aren't fully utilising them is hilarious and sad. GPU companies laughing all the way to the bank

Currently i think i should be able to play the game on ultra 60fps 1080p, but i for now I'd stay on high preset since game graphic quality is already good enough

So far my r7 2700x is running at 50% performance which is normal, while gpu is always at <10% & low temperature

Meanwhile my i5-9400f cpu went idle at 30%-20% all the time and GPu is also barely running as well. My 16gb RAM work really hard at 14gb reserved space , while other hardware went idle most of the time

Is anyone getting stable fps in this game? I get 100 in the hub, and anywhere between 70 and 90 during gameplay despite only running at 1080. NZXT tells me none of my resources are being maxed out.

i have a ryzen 7600x and my 4060ti is 100% the whole time. runs great

[Flow]

I have a ryzen 9 7900x3d and a rtx 4070ti. Usage of the gpu fluctuates pretty immense but never reaching like above 80. For some reason the gpu is utilized properly when sitting in the lobby area where I get over 90 usage. Ingame its a different story. Playing at 1440p high to ultra settings.

Since the cpu patch my performance got worse but the cpu temps are way way better. It seems like they limited the cpu usage so the temps dont get high which is a lazy fix in my opinion if its true. Also I experience some stutters when I go to new areas in operation missions which was not the case before the patch

[Huh?]

I have a 12700k at an all core clock speed of 5.1ghz and my 4070 super usage can drop as low as 70% at 1440p native. So this game has optimization issues cause the difference between a 12700k and 13700k is nowhere near as big as the difference in gpu usages we are seeing.

I have 12700k/4080 and get around 60fps on 1440p, while friend 13600k/4070 get around 80-90 fps we both have the same settings.

No way there should be that big of a gap between the two cpus. Their latest hotfix must have helped only the 13th/14th gen probably. But still my cpu is only at 40% while gpu is at 60%.

Gotta see some kind update soon on this
