Can't play because of 17 FPS with RTX 4070 SUPER

[Cubic]

CPU 20-30% (no thread is higher than 85%)
GPU 20-40%
VRAM <50%
FPS 15-24 (When I zoom out the FPS are 20-35)

Sounds normal to me. This game is a simulator, so it is CPU bound, so, the GPU is on hold, while the CPU processes complex AI instructions.

There is an FPS booster mod that will let it go over 100FPS. I have a regular 4070 12GB GPU.

CS1 is a Kitten on hardware, I use an i5 12400 with only onchip CPU and Pico PSU to play a very large city. OMG! It's a game made for 2015 hardware.

My game seems to run smoother with it.

Thank you very much! Now it works better.

I already found it, but thanks. :)

You know its a bad day when this is considered normal

I guess I should feel lucky. I get 30 - 40 FPS on Win 11, DDR4, GTX 1650, 32 GB ram, 3.70 gigahertz AMD Ryzen 5, 5600X 6-Core. When I played Saboteur on Steam I was at 50 to 60 FPS. Again, not bragging; just curious why the big difference

[MarkJohnson]

The big difference is that Saboteur is an adventure game. It has little to no simulation.

Simulators needs a lot of AI calculations, while adventure games have none and you just walk your dude around, while CS1 can walk around over 80,000 other players at the same time.

You just can't compare the two games. They are as different as night and day.

Heck, try even playing battle royal with 80,000 other players in a typical FPS game.

Now that you mention it, I also had a HP laptop with 8 G ram and while I can't recall anything else about it, it got ridiculously bogged down playing MSN Jewel 2. I had way older computers that could play similar games with much more ease

If this game would at least use 2 or 4 CPU threads, it would run 2x to 4x faster, but it's a single threaded game. That's the point... and it will never be optimized.

Do your graphics card and electricity bill a favor and set the GPU frequency as low as possible. I'm running C:S on a 3060 Ti in 4K @ 960 MHz @ 700 mV and 70 to 90 W power consumption.

If I used out of the box settings the GPU would consume up to 150 to 200 W without delivering even 1 FPS more.

(in fact, if I pause the game / simulation, I will get more FPS if I let the GPU run full speed )

It makes the game playable using my i5 with only Intel on board graphics.
