Mini Guide (Performance)

[UltraPuta]

First of all, I don't have the game on Steam. I'm playing it on Gamepass.

I feel the need to make this short guide, because I see many negative reviews, and it doesn't seem fair to a game that can run normally.

The first thing we must keep in mind is that (it is time to update our machines) why this?
Many forums talk about 1xxx series cards from Nvidia, and others 4xx and 5xx from AMD... Intel 7k series processors or 1xxx / 2xxx from AMD. Oh really?
please...

I understand that not all of us can afford to buy a state-of-the-art machine, but really, let's not start playing a new title, thinking that our computers from more than 4 years ago or even more can run them without a problem.
My specifications:
(I don't have a super advanced machine, it's mid-range, but it does its job more than well)
i3 12100f
Rx6700xt
16gb ddr4 @ 3200
m2 SN850X
win 10 ver. 22H2

Windows has quite a few tricks that we must configure, for many it works. For others not... but most of us don't even realize this.
I am not going to specify, but I will leave the links to some tutorials that have helped me improve my performance with games on the platform.

*The first and most important thing is the undervolt. of both the CPU and the GPU.
If you want to know why, it is demonstrated in the videos.

Ok, now let's get to the game itself.

I leave some screeshots for you to compare, if you wish.
But what I am going to tell you is very important.
Please do not use AUTO in any of the settings. This degrades the performance of the GPU, since it does not use 100% of it. Check it with an in game metrics. The one you like, and you will see that the stutters and lack of FPS do not depend on the optimization of the game but on the result of having bad settings.
second... I know that FSR and DLSS sell us that they are the best. But that's not true (or at least not for all games or all setups)

Please, don't use FSR or DLSS for now. You will see that you will not need it.

I hope I have been of help to some. Check this and then decide if the problem is with the game or with our settings.
I'm having a great time, the game is very entertaining, and it looks great.
All the best!

EDIT: I overlooked it before the settings, it had 45 fps, and a GPU usage of 50% and CPU 80%.
now my cpu does not exceed 45% and the gpu is at 100%...

now I have 100-120 fps without problems

You only need to undervolt 12th gen i9s lul

And if you need to undervolt a 12100 - 12700k,

You have thermal solution issues or stop using Ai optimized settings.

Basically you can achieve exactly all this, without touching voltages and being sure you don't use the AUTO settings anywhere in-game 🤣

Sure, don’t use FSR at anything less than native, but if you have Nvidia, DLSS is the way to go. Also OP, you should really be on Windows 11 at this point for better gaming features.

Undervolted my 12700 now retains full boost speeds at much lower volts and temps,so yeah you can undervolt any cpu and see nice reductions in generated heat and less power usage for free.It's under 60c at all times using the stock Intel cooler for 1700 sockets,works well enough.

What is funny to you?
I am giving help to others, because I am not only talking about temperatures but also about stability. I didn't have temperature problems with my Intel, but when doing undervolt it has been proven that the performance of the entire system is superior. If you tell me the joke, maybe we'll all laugh.

. Im still working on some musical projects so i cannot change from 10 to 11 yet! hope next moths

the problem with all of this is 1) the game bar stuff is just a claim so i call the video bad and tinkering around with stuff like that besides its painfull may cause more harm then good

there are easier and safer ways to disable the game bar overlay for example from starting completley.
But then again the guy in the video makes a bold claim no sources no evidence no explanation about anything.
------
Undervolting on some 6000 series cards was neccessary because the came out of the factory so bad that they overheated or simply crashed.
if you do not have such issues not worth your time unless youre looking for every single potential fps wich you should not have to for this game.
------
undervolting cpu pls do not do it
specialy newer gen cpus have so much settings going on that relate to voltage that you can and will fry it if you do not know exactly what youre doing
As soon as anyone talks about Adaptive mode or offset related to cpu voltage do not even try.
some boards like msi have low and hig load calibration settings wich you will add to that voltage these settings often are so impossible to judge that even i gave up on adaptive and offset voltages (on a 12th gen intel) and i did over and undervolting cpus since 20 years.
on AMD cpus you should not do anything because it simply not needed.

My 3090 is undervolted too, 1950mhz with .800 volts,clock speed stays pegged and doesn't go above 60c ....perfection!

actually, encourage messing with OC/undervolt is not good, as a tecnition, you are not aware of the amount of users that screws the things up, because the mess they do and play dumb afterwards, that job is for the development not the user, if the things are made in a way, is because its safe to be that way. you dont need to waste money if dont have to.

Just saying, despite on my pc all components are overclocked, i dont encourage to do it.

It is so, so stupid to do this in the midst of so much hatred towards an unfinished product brother... continue with your gamepass that is running out, here it hurts those of us who pay for a game I repeat and excuse the redundancy, unfinished, who are you? Stevie wonder !? Snail man opens his eyes.

[Hotrith]

What is funny, all the videos that encourage to do it, it also trying to sell you something...

Well my game runs great, learn to set up your system!

Man stop defending this game, I have an i7 12700, 32GB of RAM, RTX 3060 and I have to play on low details at 1920x1080p because the game was not optimized to take advantage of the processor and video card. Moreover, the graphics are inferior to FH5 and it's full of bugs including missing textures. A poorly done port.
