low fps

[Sleepz8]

Having an issue with my FPS. It stays around 20-30 fps even with all settings on low. Still on the first level as I can't get far. I play on a 2560x1440 resolution screen. I monitored everything during gameplay, nothing was above 50% usage except GPU Memory usage which was always at 95%+. My gpu IS the recommended one so whats wrong?

My specs:
OS: Windows 10
Amd 8350 (4ghz, 8 core)
EVGA gtx 970 4gb
8 GB Corsair Vengence RAM (&4gb generic RAM I've had for ages)
MSI 970 gaming motherboard
Corsair 750w PSu
Seagate Barracuda 1tb hdd
Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256gb

Lower textures or whatever to get under 3.5Gb VRAM usage and see if FPS gets better.
GTX970 has problems over that much VRAM usage. Might be the culprit.

I set everything to the lowest possible, no change.

Its nothing wrong with your system, the game is badly optimised/ isnt using a feature it should be -or- using an old version of EU4 - or - something isnt instanced properly, or its rushed and cobbled together totally wrong. Either way the problem you have is common, but there is no fix.

Now wait a sec, we have fps drops, from 60 to (depending on system) 30-35-40fps.
OP says it is always 20-30fps. On that system it should run at 60 with drops to 25-30 (not sure about that, but AMD is generally worse than i5/i7). But the max fps when there are no enemies should be 60fps or more (I get up to 90fps with my 970 in 1080p and vsync off).
Might worth to try in 1920*1080. GTX 970 has its limits.

I have got up to 40 without enemies. Playing in 1920x1080 does add about 5 fps, but thats still bad for a first person shooter.

Definitely not normal. Are your HW thermal throttling or something? Even a GTX 960 can run it at 60fps in 1080p max settings when no enemies are around.
Do you have dual-channel memory?
As a general rule: update your graphics drivers and set vsync to "fast" in NV Control Panel. And if you have the option in NV panel set on for optimize for compute performance or something like that (sorry don't know the English name for that setting) then set to off. It breaks game performance (for example in Fallout 4).

That worked! I recently updated my graphic driver but the settings must of been reset. Setting V-sync to fast and power management to Prefer Maximum performance things are better! Playing at 2560x1440 on medium settings i'm getting 60fps out of combat and drops no lower than 30 when an enemy appears.

It's now playable BUT these fps drops during combat shouldn't be acceptable in a combat game!

Cool :)
Hopefully we'll get a performance update eventually.

Yeh, thanks for all your help btw!

After six months and all those patches, I still get frequent loading stutter as I traverse levels. On a solid-state drive, with an 8 gig VRAM GPU. Sense, makes none. Streum On is incompetent.
