Why the performance complaints?

[nothunteratlas]

I don't quite get all the whining from everyone about performance... I'm using a 6950 XT and I have everything maxed at 1440p without any dips in performance. Game runs great!

I see people mad because their 1660 ti or 3060 is struggling to run it, I'm sorry to tell you, your graphics card is multiple generations old and has been on the market since 2019 or 2021 respectively. Graphics and games are moving forward and you cannot expect someone to make their game less graphically intensive because you have a card that is 6 years old.

I know it's a position of privilege to have a strong graphics card (mine is honestly just fine, but still holding its own) and not everyone can afford an upgrade but a 6950 XT can be found for $500 and it trades blows with a 4080. Or you can buy a PS5 if your PC can't handle 🤷

TLDR; New games means progressing forward in tech and you shouldn't blame the developer for not supporting your potato.

Buy everyone else a better pc then. Let Capcom do a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ job like they always do.

With my current setup, I can run MHWI at max settings, with the high res texture pack at around 120 FPS with no upscaling needed.

I use that same machine on MHWds, and I have to upscale, have to use lower settings, the game looks worse MHWI when set to those lower settings, and it still requires frame gen just to keep from dipping below 60 FPS.

This is why. If the game at least looked like it released 10 years in the future, people could accept the worse performance, but it doesn't.

An AMD card isn't trading blows with anything, let's not be delusional here

I have a couple year old AMD GPU and CPU and I can run the beta max quality at 100+ fps. You might be a little misinformed.

"Max quality" is a reconstructed 764p image

No Benchmark is the newest version closest to the game how it will be at launch they straight up tell us this in the information about the benchmark, but yes the Beta is still the old beta.
Also it kinda defeats the whole purpose to launch a benchmark for a game that is woefully outdated to the point it's entirely useless.

Also this is kinda why people are criticizing the game about it's performance which is a legit concern.

(If I drop down to 1080p same settings it's around 10fps on average gain.)

Same thing drop down to 2560x1080p same settings adds about 10fps on average.

Wow even at native maxxed this game looks terrible, if Capcom didn't fire half their devs this play-dough looking mess would at least be running at a triple digit framerate

[PARTYFREAK]

My high end PC can't run it at playable FPS either

A and C but mostly A

Let's open up task manager and see.... OH LOOK, thing runs at 20FPS on my girlfriend's computer and what has the highest rate? CPU at 50%, GPU at 12% and 100% on HDD, move it to SSD and it's 10%.... Everything else stays the same, including the 20FPS. If it's not using the hardware to it's extent, why is it running so poorly?

>"card that is 6 years old."

3060 is not 6 years old, it came out in 2021

>"New games means progressing forward in tech and you shouldn't blame the developer for not supporting your potato."

This game looks worse than many games that came before it and runs worse than them.

>"6950"

You're in the top 5% of Steam surveyed graphics cards. You're literally in a position of privilege.

The real question is did you use frame gen or FSR upscaling? Or are you running native? I'd love to see your cards native benchmark with no upscaling or frame gen.

TL;DR: game runs good for him on extremely high end card, and then he makes fun of low end cards and say the game is pushing tech forward so of course it runs bad

This guy has a video card that is 2000$ or more. A 5090. At the end of the video at max settings with this card he actually hits 49 FPS at one point.

That is unacceptable.

I hit 50FPS at a mid-range card. A little secret right now is that high-range cards aren't noticeably better than mid-range cards from a few years ago. Little tip for anyone reading this thread.

I'm on Linux, so i can't confirm my girlfriend's (on windows) findings. I recommend everyone use task manager to confirm where they're weakest. I know Task Manager lies, but it should at least get you in the ballpark. Where is this game hurting you the most? Because i've noticed alot of the graphics settings are being thrown on the CPU, not GPU, contrary to everything that's being stated everywhere.

You can use 'btop' (terminal) on Linux or 'Resources' (application) and Nvidia-smi (terminal) (nvidia card).
