Super Laggy After Recent Update - Help?

[Crow]

Hi guys,
I recently updated Empyrion (one of my favorite space survival games) and it started lagging like crazy. I keep getting framedrops and I can't seem to find a way to fix it.

I have all the settings set to 'low' and before you say it's my rig, I have a $1000 machine built just for gaming, so I highly doubt it's that.

Please help?

I just started playing again for the first time since Sept 2017 and the FPS is about the same as it was then, so no idea.

My specs are:

i7
32G system RAM
GTX 970 SLI
Samsung SSD
Windows 10

With all graphic settings maxed at 1920x1080 I get 50-70 FPS, depends on where I'm at, but I don't notice any lag at all.

$1000 machine is pretty cheap for a "gaming" rig. At the top of Steam click on "Help" and then "System Information". Copy and paste the resulting text here. That will tell others about your system so that they can help better.

That's about the price of a top end GPU as of late.

You're right, I should've done that first

Specs:
Intel Core i7-7700k
16GB RAM
Nvidia GT 730 (I know, I know)
1 TB HDD
Windows 10

With Empyrion on it's lowest graphics settings, I'm getting like less than 10 FPS. Thing is, it worked perfectly fine before the update.

That is not a gaming machine with a 730.

The 730 is your problem. The 730 is made for word processors and other non-gaming computers that did not come with integrated graphics. It is not capable of playing games any better than intel integrated. Get a gaming oriented gpu if you want to play games.

I'm not a moron, I know this, my i7 always does the heavy hauling, and I'm usually able to get 40-60 FPS out of most of my games, it's just that I didn't have this problem until recently when they updated

Well, not to sound obvious, but upgrade your GPU. Your CPU and Ram are good to go, just get a gaming GPU, even a 1060 will get you going.

I know, and I'm trying to. Money doesn't grow on trees, however XD

pretty sure its you're gpu. first thing tho, is make sure you are useing the correct gpu, not the intel. still should get more then 10 with the 730 tho, at least 40 fps all low.

Actually, the hd 630 in the 7700k is faster than the 730.....

yes but it may not have enough shadow proccess. and the 3D side should handle better.

I have 2 660s lying around. It's odd that those are selling for like $175 now. Bitcoin miners, when 99% of them go bust, there will be a glut of cheap video cards available.
