So you are complaining about low performance but are unable to post your pc specs.

AMD A8-9600 RADEON R7, 10 COMPUTE CORES 4C+6G 3.10 GHz

8.00 GB (7.43 GB usable)

64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Windows 10 Pro

now its important to state, my pc is low end, at best, obviously, its a potato, and it ran warframe decently for about 2 years, then this update comes and now the games a problem.

also im not a new player, im mr 11, iv been around awhile, and this is the first time the games been so rough.

[iLovePie_42]

sounds like either ping or cpu bottlenecking issue to me
if your ping is ok, i advise you to open up your pc and clean the fans well, and change the thermal paste of cpu if you can.

Not sure if you have noticed, but the last hotfix turned the 'enhanced' renderer on for everyone (again, after the initial Duviri patch did so too), real MS style patching: 'lets just change those setting back to what WE want you to use'. And with higher settings.
If you were using the classic renderer for performance, you'll need to change it back to that if you have done not yet.
Happened to me too, ram useage went through the roof and pc began to use pagefile, so I went looking and found that setting had been disrespected.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
MINIMUM:
OS:Windows 7 64-Bit (32-bit not supported)
Processor:Intel Core i7 860, Intel Core i5 750, or AMD FX-4100 (SSE 4.2 support required)
Video:DirectX 11+ capable Graphics Card
Memory:4 GB RAM
Storage:50 GB available HD space
Internet:Broadband Internet Connection Required


Also, take note, that after Duviri the Enhance Graphics Engine was made the Default engine. Chances are, you are running Enhance Graphics and that's what's causing your issues.

DE is phasing out the Classic Engine. You can read more about it on the official forums -> PC Announcement -> PSA: (Coming with Duviri) New Default on PC: Enhanced Graphics Engine

I am sorry to say but you are expecting an old low power GPU to remain viable forever, that is not a viable position. You are also probably bottlenecked by your RAM. Warframe is an evolving game, over time they improve it to make use of what would be considered average commodity gaming hardware and you are falling behind.

You're using an AMD apu for graphics? lower your resolution to 1280x720 and medium settings. even on the enhanced engine that apu should be able to handle that. warframe is incredibly well optimized.

The relays and Plains areas were a problem for some earlier updates as well; I would wager the mixture of the 8 GB of RAM and the processor are the culprits on the player side. I hope its possible to get an upgrade at some point. If you like AMD gear, I heard that some retailers like MIcrocenter or Newegg have been sporting a few deals on bundles on them lately. Might be worth a look?

Even if the current system isn't rocking the game well enough; it might still work for a life as a media center or NAS config; so while annoying it might still be useful down the road.
