Performance issues

[ozwally]

Hi all,

Anyone else having performance issues with this game? I've finally got around to playing it as weekend is here, and my FPS is pretty shocking. I get around 28FPS with everything on low/off, with only textures and draw distance set to high, running at 1920 x 1080.

I'm on a laptop, but havnt had this sort of low performance in some of the newer games out on high settings (i.e. deus ex human revolution, Battlefield 1 etc). My specs are

i7 2.6GHz
8GB RAM
GeForce 960M w/ 4GB dedicated vRAM

I've checked and my 960M is definately being used, not the integrated Intel

Thanks!

Your 960m is the weakest link here. Yes you might get better performance from other games, but it all depends on the game engine. Try turning every graphic option off and everything at minimum, then increase one at a time to find the sweet spot.

It hardly is. Nowadays mobile cards are almost as powerful as desktop ones, and my 960 2GB runs the game at stable 60 high settings.

OP try updating driver for your gpu. I had a problem with resident evil 7, when my gpu was in idle state, when running the game, so I had like 27 fps max at low settings, until I updated driver.

I did move through the settings, but even with everything off/low I still only hit around 30fps. Considering games I play/have played recently and the settings used in them, with the graphical fidelity of this game I cant understand why I struggle to achieve decent FPS (especially on low settings).

I did update my nVidia driver to latest, and did get an extra 1-2 fps.

I just dug through the discussions and did see mention of people suffering FPS drops since the 16MB update that was released, unfortunately I didnt get chance to play before that and doesnt look like I can roll back to the release version to test it out

You are under spec you will need an upgrade to run this.

Excuse me? How is he "under spec"?

Minimum is: i3-2100, 4 GB RAM, GTX 660.

He has: i7 (no matter which i7, it will definitely be better than i3-2100), 8GB RAM, GTX 960. How is this "under spec"? Hell, he almost perfectly meets recommended, except for GPU, where recommended is 970, but neighboring GPUs of the same series from 60 to 80 are not that different, to provide "you are under specs" statement.

So you're suggesting a 960m is as good as a 980ti? Erm no...

Are you trolling, or simply can't read? Do you know what "neighboring" means?

The cpu speed is to slow, i3-2100 3.1 GHz minimum. his is 2.6ghz

First of all, not mine. Second of all... Are you serious? So basically my FX-8320 is better than both i3-2100 and is equal to i7-6700K? Please, don't discuss PC specs if you have little knowledge about those, because it is VERY easy to catch you with this.

No just stating his clockspeed is to slow for the game, thats just a fact.

No it is not. You have 0 clue what you are talking about. Answer the questions I asked you, don't dodge them. Here is another question you will most likely ignore or give 100% incorrect answer.

Higher clock = better CPU?

UPD:
Actually, it hit me. Have you checked any benchmarks since 2005? You do know that there are multi-core processors now?

No not necessarily, but his is to slow for this game regardless

So lower clock can be better, but his CPU, even though it is better than i3-2100 objectively, is not the case? Can't lose with dignity, so you are gonna lie? It took me a minute to find his CPU with google, and even less to check if it is indeed better than i3-2100. Ah, for f*cks sake, why do games work on CPUs that are below min reqs? Stop f*cking lying!

Are you a little butt hurt about this? I could careless if yours or his fossil PC's can run the game or not, I was just pointing out he might want to get better hardware. Not my problem.

The i7 uses a differet architecture to the i3. The issue we have these days is clock speed isnt as relevant a factor as it once was, its more to do with the architecture of the CPU now.

Article here http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/386100/what_difference_between_an_intel_core_i3_i5_i7_/

And to quote from it "Even if the i5-4570T normally runs at the same clock speed as Core i3-4130T, and even if they all have the same number of cores, the i5-4570T benefits from a technology known as Turbo Boost."

The articles a good read and highlights the technological differences between the models, and answers the question why i7, although perhaps a slower clock speed, is superior to i3 and i5.
