Am I trippin or what?

[Tox]

Preface: yes, I am, but wtaf regardless:
Watching a streamer right now, and his fps counter reads, on average, 40 to 60 fps...
but he's clearly playing at 100fps+

Like it's actually effing crazy the performance he's getting out of the game, and clearly the performance is well beyond what the fps counter is reading, as he sweatlords his way through it well beyond what would be expected of common rigs...

Is this streamer just too rich for his own good that he's playing the game on a g-damn super computer?

Edit: No, I won't name and shame the streamer, but anyone watching the same stream I am will know it. Wtaf steroids is this guy's rig on, moreover, where's the entertainment in this sweatlord trivializing the game? Something ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stinks with this guy.

Could be using that driver based frame generation? I turned it on before and loved the smoothness, but they can keep that lag.

[StingJnr]

I use lossless scaling to get 165 on horde nights on high to max settings ! its mad how much smoother it is.

i dunno man, this is crazy to watch... like, it is well beyond the realm of common
either 1.0's performance is off the charts, or this guy is too rich for his own good; paint me as jealous if applicable, but this is just... cheesey as all f.... 99.99% of players can only dream of getting this kind of performance even on sufficient hardware.

[Tox]

also worth pointing out:
without playing with integration, he has q5 and q6 gear on day 20... on top of his "1%er"-level fps count...

Like wtf, this is literally the most bizarre combination of performance-beyond-average-expected-experience alongside how-the-f-are-you-that-well-geared-before-your-3rd-horde i have ever seen

That shouldn't result in the actual FPS being double or triple the displayed FPS. The whole point of fake frames is to inflate the displayed FPS, not deflate it.

It's possible that the OP's eyeball estimate of the FPS of a game they've seen gameplay footage of is wrong. Or that they're watching the video at >1x speed.

i mean, i'm not discounting my intoxicated state, but my god man, you should se this sweatlord... it is beyond apparent, even ignoring my intoxication, that his true fps is triple, if not quadruple the readout of the fps counter

It's deadset nuts.
Given that the staggering majority of people playing on medium to high end equipment routinely point out major performance issues... this guy is streaming and somehow playing at well over 100 fps...

like... what, the ever living, ♥♥♥♥.

Raid higher tier POIs to have a higher loot stage. wasteland biome additionally adds a percentage as well as a flat amount increase.

I'm sorry guys, call me jealous (it's true), but this streamer has WAY too much money irl if he's getting this kind of 100fps+ performance and literally trivializing the hardest difficulty as a result while streaming, while the rest of us struggle to hit a reliable 60fps

he's in the forest, with q5 and q6 gear on day 20
either he menu'd that ♥♥♥♥ in or something's well beyond broken aside from his insane performance.

How did you determine his actual fps? Streams should be streamed around 20-40 fps afaik.

[Tox]

Looking at him sorting his stashes and such... he very VERY clearly used creative/debug menu to cheat... which is fine i guess, no biggy...
the major point of all this isthe effing crazy, well beyond average, performance he's getting.

Bloke is playing the game on a damn super computer.
Vas majority of players will never come close to this kind of performance and sweatlording. Bloke's too rich for his own good and forgive my bias/jealousy, should not be allowed to misrepresent the expected experience the way he is; this guy is making a mockery of the game.

if you're watching the same stream I am (I refuse to name-and-shame or advertise the sweatlord) you can see it plainly for yourself.... it's actually crazy.

[Korser]

I like to mess around with graphic settings on almost any game I play to try and stay close to my monitor's refresh rate.

7 Days to Die has VERY intensive single-core requirements depending on what settings you decide to toggle up and what you are doing.

If you feel like it, try going through each setting and check how it affects your FPS. Of course, playing with the settings won't help much if someone is playing on a severely outdated/underpowered/misconfigured system. But, I'm pretty sure you can find some kind of medium ground where you get acceptable FPS while keeping the game looking decent.

they gutted some of the towers in game to make it easier to run.

Most somewhat Succesful Streamers will have a High End Rig.

But the Reason his Game is Running so Smoothly is likely that he is using a Frame Cap.

The Human Eye cant really tell apart 60 or 100 FPS. But it is extremely Sensitive to Sudden Changes.
So if the FPS drop from 100 to 60 FPS suddenly. We will notice it.

Using a Frame Cap on 60 FPS but in exchange having no Large FPS Drops and effectively Running this 40-60 FPS Range consistently. Makes it look much more Smooth to the Human Eye than if it kept Jumping between 120 and 40 FPS.
