How's the performance?

[Macrowolf]

Post your PC specs and give an evaluation on the performance of the current build of the game. I want to know if the framerate has been improved since the release in March.

They had improved the performance with the DE edition. I am on a gtx 1050ti, i5 8400 with 16 gb ram and the game runs fine for me above 60 most of the time on high settings.

[ANGRY MALICE]

I'd say it runs about the same. The few areas that used to run bad, still runs bad. Maybe I am CPU bottlenecked in those situations, I don't know.

Hello.

Everyone will experience CPU bottlenecks because that is just how Source works. It takes a whole lot more work and effort to make the game stop dropping frames that much. Sadly, the only fix is either to switch engines to one that use the full numbers of cores of your CPU and DirectX 11/12 or make the Source engine be DirectX 11/12, neither of which is likely to happen anytime soon.

As for my experience, I play the game absolutely fine for the most part with an i7-8700k, RTX 2080 and 16 GB of RAM.

Thanks for understanding.

on my i5 4670 and 1070, high settings (no dynamic light/shadow settings)

was getting a mostly solid 60 on 1440p with some minor dips with some particle heavy scenes.

Just finished (boy is it LONG!) and performance was pretty bad in Xen. Some fights I had drops to 5-10 fps AFTER dropping settings to low. It felt like dropping settings from high to low had very little effect. Also for some reason my GPU had heated up to 75C even with verical sync on with only 25-40% use on low settings.
I'm on AMD FX8300 + GTX 980 + 16Gb RAM.

GPU: GTX 1070
CPU: I5 9600k
RAM: 16GB
All the graphical settings are enabled/in ultra. 1920x1080 resolution.
Installed in a HDD (Apart from the loading times, I don't think the hard drive has anything to do with performance)

I played the game again about 2 weeks ago and the performance was overall good with stable 60FPS. Sometimes it dropped to 50 in some areas but it's probably because I have 30 workshop mods installed including a 16GB HD textures pack.

ultra settiings with the unstable settings checked and one notch from ultra. running at 4k smooth framerate

i'm seeing performance dips that reach down to 40 fps in areas that use water/screen space reflections (?), it makes combat rather difficult due to input lag. and that's on the lowest settings; i'm not joking. cranking up the generic source engine graphics settings doesn't change much, but bms-specific settings cause lighting to glitch out like hell. had to disable dynamic lighting in order for certain parts of the game to be playable.

GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 56
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
16 GB of RAM
running the game off of an HDD, makes load times a bit lengthy but it's bearable.

EDIT: probably should mention i'm running on Linux with the open-source drivers (Mesa 20.3.2). the lighting bugs may be related to this, but at the very least the game could stop reverting my settings back to have dynamic lighting enabled on every occasion.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

Running it off of some Samsung EVO SSD

Everything looks and runs flawlessly on max settings on a 2k 2560x1440 gsync display.

Hello.

The game changed considerably since the 2015 build.

Thanks for understanding.

So I've just ran the game after several months of hiatus and I must say it runs much smoother than the last time I played it. I don't know what optimisation wonders the Dev team has accomplished but it really is noticeable. I apologize for misjudging

I9-9900K with a Geforce 1070. Everything cranked to max with everything checked even using high res textures and getting 250-300fps at 1080p
