FPS on Planetary Surface

[s | voxx]

Really enjoying the feel of the game, really takes me back to SC2. I'm curious what FPS you all are seeing when cruising around in the lander? I'm only 15-25 FPS, which is kind of insane given the lo-fi nature of the graphics (not a complaint, just an observation). Such low FPS is making it kind of frustrating.

Here are my specs:
2X Nvidia 980s
i7-4790K @ 4Ghz
32GB Ram
Win 10

In game settings are all cranked to max, at 3440x1440 (thanks for the ultrawide, btw!), and i've turned AA off to see if that was the culprit (it is not).

I play maxed out in 2560x1080 on GTX1080 and 90% of time in at locked 60 fps in a lander, but sometimes when there's smoke or some weird effects going on it drops down to 30-40 just to go back to 60

Same here. Very bad performace on planet surfaces and in hyperspace. Sometimes only 15-20 FPS. Even on FullHD only.

Same here. Goes from 60 down to 50 back too 60 down to 43. The lowest I have seen it drop is 32 FPS. Messed around with the graphics options and didn't see much of a change in performance.

Upgrading NVIDIA drivers to 411.63 (released yesterday) has improved the situation somewhat. Now at a very playable 35-45 FPS.

I did notice weird memory usage though... my GPU memory is filled at 95% of the time all the time and when on planet surface or in conversations with NPC, GPU usage jumps up to 80-90%
Pretty weird considering that the game does not look very demanding at first sight.

Yeah I get around 15-20 fps on planets and 60 fps everywhere else. I don't have the best PC but it's higher than the min settings the devs recommend.

16GB RAM
AMD FX 6300
Win 10

The game is made to scale from an Intel 510 to the latest stuff. Play with the settings, see what you can come up with.

If something doesn't feel right, you could always let the Devs know that certain things seem less optimised than others. The game will get lots of nice updates for sure as that's what Stardock do.

My 580 spikes to 100% in conversations and landing/launches, frames are over 60 at least :)

Same here, definitely something wrong.

turning v-sync off is also yielding an additional 5 or so FPS. getting a solid 50 or so now.

You're getting there! 5 fps at a time. It will soon be 60 :D

I just have problems when there's the lightning strikes going on. Lose 20-30fps with every strike.

GTX1070

144hz monitor (often get 144fps and over in other screens such as space travel)
Game installed on SSD

I just think the game needs more optimisation on planets is all, I'm sure it'll get smoothed out in time.

Change the texture and shade detail option in-game to the one just below "great". Made a 20fps difference for me on a 1070 and it doesn't look any different.

What GPU program is that?

Its the Logitech ARX Control App.
I use it too, but together with AIDA64 and made my own custom layout & design. :)
