A reminder to UPGRADE YOUR CPU

[Byeah]

GPU's are not going to do much if your eight-year-old cpu is bottlenecking the damn thing. Recently upgraded my processor and the game ran infinitely better.

if you struggled with the beta, look at your motherboard, you current processor, anything. CPUs are much cheaper to replace as long as the motherboard's kosher

[Poyzo]

To add: wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday for deals! Save up for those two days.

Change your paste, get a better cooler, and OC that CPU and you can probably still use it.

[Good Night Owl]

I took a gamble with my Ryzen 9 5950x thinking CPUs were going to be more important in the near future. I am glad I guessed right, and hope that CPU was enough prep for it

I mean the facts just don't support it, gaps are showing now but even the 3600 is within 10% of the leader.

That said you'll still need DDR that can hit least 1600mhz, and a PCI-E bus that will let your gpu run at full speed, which 8 years technically should be fine unless you really cheaped out.

The beta did even the latest modern CPU's bottleneck.

But i have to also add, that some performance points and texture visuals seems to be directly connected to the NVMe speed and even direct-storage feature.

My person, those are 4k results where you are GPU bottlenecked 95% of the time.

You go to 1080p where people are actually likely to be CPU limited and wow.. much bigger spread right?

Upgrade to what CPU? Even 7800x3d can drop below 60 in HUB and the average is not much higher

i7 12700 is not 8 years old.

according to the steam page my Ryzen 7 5800x is above the recommended specs, yet I still struggled to run the game with my 3080 and nvme SSD. I have had no problem running other games that look better and are doing more impressive things yet this game is what brings my rig to it's knees? I'm so tired of the excuses being made for this butchery.

That's exactly my plan. I have a feeling that I'll need to buy a new PC entirely though, since that may end up being cheaper.

the game struggles with 7800x3d and 3080ti to maintain 60fps even with upscaler, so pretty much 99% people ain't playing this game at native 60fps lock. That's why capcom resorted to using framegen on their recommended systems.

Eh, I don't need too, I'm willing to live with the performance I got in the playtest. It ran a bit better than I expected considering I was at minimum specs GPU wise.

Well 60-75+ is possible at 1080P native resolution,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIWjgo88_WI

Maxed Settings (Native): 70 FPS
Medium Settings (Native): 74 FPS
Low-End Settings (Native 76 FPS

Maxed Settings (FSR/Frame Generation): 141 FPS
Medium Settings (FSR/Frame Generation): 148 FPS
Low-End Settings (FSR/Frame Generation 149 FPS

but i completely agree with you its not that much of a benefit and playing at 30fps with maxed settings can also be a nice experience when you adjust your screen refresh rate.

You can have way more room for more nice visual features when not hunting every single frame.

@16:55* - Don't upgrade for this game.

The engine is garbage and they should've dodged it after the shambles release that was Dragons Dogma 2. The fact that it requires frame generation to be somewhat playable is a major red flag.

My person, if you are gpu bottlenecked with a 4090 you shouldn't be worrying about such things as cpu bottlenecks especially if you don't even have a 4090.
