Low FPS on a RTX 4090?
Getting 30 - 60 FPS but generally around 50 even in quiet areas, gets a lot worse during swarms. All of my other games run fine on my 4090 but this seems to be the only game where my pc struggles. Running it at 4k max settings but when I lower the resolution and graphics settings the FPS stays the same?

I don't have the best CPU so this might be the reason? I have a Ryzen 5 5600x, I'm aware it doesn't meet the recommended specs but it's never been an issue for any other games I play (such as Warzone, SWBF2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint, all on max graphics at 4k).

I have 64gb of RAM and my game is saved on an SSD as well so the majority of my pc is high-spec.
Ask away if you need more info (P.S I'm not the most tech savvy so if I need to overclock something or whatever please let me know!)

That is a severely miss matched system.

The game is very cpu heavy and you are discovering the consequences of cutting corners, you'd get the same performance on a 4070 most likely.

I have a feeling you are likely using slow memory too, only exasperating the issue.

Edit.
Fixed dumb typo.

Yeah, CPU is the problem. The game probably is poorly optimized, because lots of people, including me, encounter the same issues even with more powerful hardware sometimes. We can only pray to Omnissiah that the fix/patch for CPU issue will be out as soon as possible...

"I have a Ryzen 5 5600x"
There you go. I get max 80-110fps when not in action with oc 5800x, guys with 7800x3d get max 120-130fps, regardless of graphical settings (with 7900xtx/4080/4090) iirc.
5600x with 4090 is... uh, silly :) You literally have an S-Klasse with a 1.0 3-cylinder engine lol

All the technical wizardry speech culminating to "exasberating" is the funniest thing I've seen this week.

Thank you. I'm ded.

if you're not tech savvy then i don't recommend that you overclock anything lol.

What happens when you run the game in 1080p?

For ref I have the same GPU as you and a 7800X3D. I get a solid 120 FPS @4k

I would have expected much more than 30 - 60 from a 5600X. My last build was a 5600x + 3080 and it largely did 4k fine at 60 fps. This game on Swarm Engine is much more performance friendly than other games I played recently.

For upgrades I would recommend not upgrading until you have the funds for a full part swap to AM5 board

Ive got the same CPU but with a rtx 4070 and 48gb ram, I have the same dips at 4k as well its definitely the CPU as its at 100% when the fps drop happens.

You are heavily CPU bottlenecked

same as me basic ur cpu is bad so ye just buy lossless scaling check youtube how to use it cost few buck and u will have 130fps+

As it was stated the game's very CPU heavy. I've seen bottlenecks on my 13600K which is quite a bit stronger than 5600x. To be honest even 7800x3d can be bottlenecked by this game.
Getting 5800x3d is the best you can do, but the question is there a point to it? It might be better to just swap platform to AM5 and 7800x3d you obviously can affford it if you're running 4090.

No, I am correct, they are two different words.

Cpu bottleneck. Case closed.

aint no way this did is not trolling who tf runs a 4090 on some pos office cpu
