GTX 1060 3GB getting 30-40 FPS on Ultra?

[Unearthed]

CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2620

16GB RAM

The only difference with my set-up here is the CPU but he gets like 100+

Not sure if that is normal

I know it's not i5 6400 but still...this is like 300% difference...

Try turning the shadows off, they are a big fps killer for me.
With shadows 20-25fps at the start of a race and after that 30-60.
Without shadows 35-40fps at the start of a race and after that 60-100+.

Playing the game without shadows probably wont quite look good for me ;D

Shadows and grass both are framerate killers in this game.

I would be thrilled if I got 30 fps in this game on medium settings.

Actually the game doesn't look that bad without shadows. I tried it when i was trying to figure out why the game uses so much Vram. You still get the shadow under the cars so it doesn't look like they are floating lol.

considering that the intel xeon cpu u use is only 2.0 ghz and max 2.5 with boost and 6 years old and not meant for gaming at all....... what do you expect?

it´s time to upgrade to an actual cpu

I am not an expert but from forums and youtubers I learned that the Xeon CPUs are totally fine for gaming. The main difference is they can't be oveclocked usually. It's not like the Quadro GPU that is no good for games.

you can run games on a xeon but
comparing the price of an actual xeon cpu with the main consumer line up i5 /i7 youre always better with an i5 / i7 if youre playing games

2nd the fact that games need to be optimized to run better or make better use of the cpus potential xeons are mostly not get optimised at all because theyre ment for servers, so many devs do no optimize their games for xeon cpus.

and yeah your xeon is old in point of architecture and ghz thats a bad mix
i mean 2-2,5 ghz < is nothing in 2018

all physics calculation run over the cpu and thats why you have low fps.

Well yes you can use them for gaming but they are DEFINATELY NOT AS GOOD.

Thats a CPU designed for servers, for pure data number crunching. E-5

The i7 is a CPU designed around rendering abilities, now for gaming that makes a difference, so before you let over clockers on forums convince you they are just as good, there simply put, not.

You dont look at how much the CPU can crunch, your looking at how well it renders alongside a GPU, this is what all the gaming benchmarks are set around.

Games are graphics intense, not so much CPU intense.

Look at the GAMES Benchmarks, and all of a sudden that E5 is getting SMASHED all over the place, its rank drops to well below 300 and in gaming terms that is miserable.

So yes any overclocking forum can skew the real value of a CPU design by over clocking it to death to run some fast numbers for a benchmark, but constant game benchmarks done by multiple sites independant of the overclockers site, shows them to be full of BS.

I would never by a server CPU for a purely gaming rig, seems backwards to me.
For a server , yea no probs, but for a gaming rig, nope.

Ive also built my own PCs for decades.

Low setting for shadows doesn't turn shadows off.

If it is multiplayer, the amount of cars on the server might matter. On my ancient system ( very old amd + gtx 760 ) I can get 60+ fps with low settings when there are 10 players. 16 players is >30 fps .. 24 players servers is 10fps, maybe 15 max. .. Unfortunately almost all servers are 24 players :(

But in single player match with 23 other AI and it runs 60fps smooth .. The drops seems to be related to the networking for some reason, or at least for me.

Im really suprised each time visiting forums, because i cant imagine what people sometimes expect.
You have a GPU of the current generation but then feed it with such a CPU? Its like you go overkill on two of three aspects and then forget to upgrade the integral part of your PC, the thing feeding everything.
This game is intense and highly demanding, well optimized mind, but yet you simply cant expect the game to run on such outdated hardware. I know i couldnt expect it to run on my old CPU and that was a largely better one you have (8370). I mean sure you might get Overwatch to run but a game with such a load of particle effects simulated piece by piece, deformations, grass, shadows, all the graphical stuff that needs to be calculated for the gpu, the AI etc.
Im actually suprised that it even runs on that thing, but expecting 60+ fps on ultra is absolutely delusional.
I would say, just with a brief look, that the CPU is like the grandpa taking care of the GPU and the RAM which are two 18 year old kids doing free climbing. Its not only holding them back, its so old and slow that it probably dies due to a heart attack by just trying to perform the activity.
And i really cant tell why people buy a current gen GPU and then get stingy with pretty much the most important part of the setup. You could also just scrap that GPU and get a current gen CPU with onboard graphics and still have better results.

In short: Your CPU is the bottleneck for obvious reasons, which is why the GPU cant handle the load = lower FPS. The CPU is the feeder of the GPU, your GPU cant do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ without it performing at least as fast.
And further its easy to get a quite cheap CPU that easily is fast enough for that GPU (that isnt that impressive aswell) as the only thing that bottlenecks should be the GPU, nothing else.
I also hope your RAM is not 16GB DDR2 or even single rank ram. I know its tough to upgrade a system, but thats this hobby, its expensive.

yup I know those weaknesses of my cpu(clock speed and architecture) but I got it real cheap 2nd hand (like 170 euro with the motherboard and 16GB ram) and it was a great upgrade to my AMD FX-4100 but the 300% difference in performance compared to not that monstrous i5 6400 amazed me :D anyway I turned down Shadows and Grass to LOW and got 100 fps xD

yeah ofc in a battle with i7-5960X it will be a big loser but the guy on youtube used i5-6400. The difference to my result seemed way too big to me
