Performance?
Pretty much what the title implies. I’m curious about the stability of the game. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x and a 6950xt, and I’m not really wanting to drop the money unless I know it’ll be okay. So anyone with specs similar to mine, feel free to chime in with your opinions on the performance.

I've got a 5800x3d and a 6950XT and the performance is not great. Around 20FPS with settings maxed. turning settings to medium helped and AFMF helped but it still runs poorly. I'm hearing of people with 4090s getting sub 60 fps on max settings 1440p

That is incredibly disappointing but unfortunately on brand for Wildcard…

Damn, that's sad. I have the same setup. Did you undervolt your CPU and undervolt + overclock you GPU?

Can confirm 40-50 on 4090 7950X3D at 1440p on Epic. That's literal spawn in numbers, Half that by the time there's a few bases/Dino's around

always use r.VolumetricCloud 0 to remoce clouds for more fps and just play it for 2 hours and refund if it doesnt run well

Running the game on a so-so AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core processor 3.6Ghz, 16GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Ti and it runs ok, at least in single-player. Graphics look a bit grainy, but tolerable. A new Game Ready driver is available for my card so that's being downloaded now.

Which ingame graphic settings are you running? I'm asking cause I'm running a similar system, just a GTX 1080 instead of a GTX 1660 TI.

MSI 4090 Supreme/i9 13900k here. I stay around 57FPS on max @4k with DLSS set to Quality, lol. Which, isn't AWFUL I'd say but the game absolutely needs optimization work. If I lower Shadows and global illumination and set DLSS to Auto, I can get a stable 80+ FPS but it's still very stuttery and TONS of frame drops.

Be careful there,,, I had 1.8 hours and was gonna leave it to see if they would patch it up over the weekend and woke up the next day to 2.5 hours played..... have never even been able to actually play, just play with settings before it crashes again

are you using the resolution scaler? I think rn it only changes the ray tracing resolution and not the display resolution so it's pretty neat. At release it did change display res too and it was just normal UE5 TSR so idk if it's a bug or an intention.

edit; I was wrong they just made it non-linear so now you can't set 1% res scale (at launch you could, it looked so funny)

I'm running a Ryzen 3700x with a 7900 XT on a 1440p monitor. My settings are full resolution, mix of high and epic, low for view distance with motion blur and bloom turned off.
I get 50-60fps but I have it locked at 60fps. So it may go higher. This is in a game with only a couple buildings and tames. So no massive base or dozens of dinos tamed or anything like that.

you could always try afmf with the preview amd driver, works pretty well for me in this particular game. 50-60fps is right where afmf becomes useable with a mouse, too.

oh also the resolution scale uses TSR it looks pretty good you should probably give it a better chance!
