Mafia 3 runs like garbage!
So, I went and bought Mafia 3 during steam sale. I was told that my rig can handle it. However when I get into the game the only thing that runs 60 fps is the cut scenes. I am rather confused on how this is happening, as my rig is by no means awful. Anyone got any advice?

My specs are:

I7-7700
Gtx 1050
8gb
Windows 10

Your GPU is a bit of a joke and if you watch youtube vids you'll see the ram go around 10GB.


I have zero problems with 54-100fps.


FX8350

GTX1070

32GB

Win 10 1803.

This guy shoots up to 75fps and 7.2GB ram ^.

For Kill zone ^ even the GTX1050ti is struggling you've got the non ti.

Edit,

Ok I opened it up this morning and my res was at 1600x900 so I reset it to full 1080p with Shadows and Reflections to Med while other settings on High.

I did the Finding Baka mission and drove back to the house no drops below 60fps and max 90fps staring at the swamp looking for gators most times it hovered around 70fps.

For me Mafia 3 runs pretty good.

I guess it's just strange, cause the system requirements posted on steam are well within my rigs abilities.

But your GTX1050 drops you into the minimum category which is no good in gaming.

You've got a fairly good cpu but that GTX1050 will always drag the system down.

I see...I ran my rig through "Can you run it?" and it said that I passed reccommended. So I am rather confused now.

Steam recommended GPUs on the store page are the GTX1060 and R9 290x which are quite a lot stronger than the GTX1050.

Always look at the store page "don't use can you run it"

Two resources to put in your favorites ^, guru has Mafia III and with the GTX960 that is a hair above ther gtx1050 it only pulls in avg 26fps so put it all on low settings.

you are not remotely close to the recommended as 1060 is literally over twice as fast as the plain 1050. your gpu is barely faster than the minimum which is a 660.

Oh no ^ it's faster than a GTX660 for sure an HD6870 is par with a GTX660 which neither would make the min anyway.

It appears ^ the GTX1050 is a hair above the GTX960 which blows your GTX660 theory all to hell.

Ps, min specs usually mean 720p

You can't argue with hardware. Literally the only way to improve your situation is to get a new GPU. Try buying one on credit 6 or 12 month financing and then selling your 1050 used on ebay.

It runs better than it use too but still like ♥♥♥♥ i get dips into the 40’s at 1440p and it goes in the 50’s quite a bit game doesnt even care about gpu id say 75% of the time my gpu is 80-85% usage or even lower while my cpu usage is only in the 40-50% range just a bad console port

It may be a bad port in some ppls opinion but with my lowly FX8350 and a real GPU the lowest I see is min 54fps with the majority at 60-75 and maxing 90+ it runs very smooth at 1080p all but Blur cranked up maxed.

To me it's not a fail if you have more modern mid range gpus.

I have a 1080 it never hits 90% or more usage and has frame drops into the 40’s and goes in the 50’s a good bit at 1440p thats not very good and i get better number out of agents of mayhem which is known for being unoptimized
