FPS and BenchMark in Squad

[Ưng Hoàng Phúc]

Hi guys,

I just bought Squad one week ago, the game is so good for me but the fps just only around 50-60 fps in average with High setting. I'm using Alienware 17R4 with 7700HQ and GTX1070 16Gb RAM.I think the fps must be higher with my specs :( .

When i tried to run the Squad's benchmark funtion, it set my settings to all low.

Can anyone help me solve this ? ^^

Thanks all !

p/s: Sorry for my bad english, I love squad because it will improve my english speaking skill like Project Reality :D

Laptop CPU's and GPU's are notorious for not maintaining there optimal speeds and tend to underclock themselves after a few minutes.
So first check that your GPU and CPU are maintaining there boosts while running Squad and not dialing things back after a few minutes, in the case of your CPU which will be going from 3.8 to 2.8ghz is a 27% loss in performance.

Thanks mate!,

but why do Squad's Benchmark decide to set the setting to all low ? It could be something has gone wrong :D ?

Sqaud is pretty CPU intensive game so set the settings to low like the Benchmark did and open Task Manager when its running to check what you CPU Boosts too and if it or the GPU is maxing out.
I suspect its the CPU downclocking and maxing out that is limiting you from running at a higher FPS so you might find you get the same FPS running Low/Medium for example as this will give your GPU more work to do.

Don't expect it to be very accurate, it's probably the last thing they pay attention to

Last night I let Benchmark decide the game settings, then I made some change in Nvidia control panel with the target is Squad (Due to this post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/393380/discussions/6/1696040635920169317/).

In lobby menu i saw the GPU used 90%, so the fps went up to 179 fps. When i jump in the battle it stayed in 80 fps.

but it just happend in the fisrt match, :D now it turn back to 60pfs with just around 50% GPU usage with the same method i did last night, can't raise the GPU usage anymore ._.

So now the problem is how to raise the GPU usage up :<

What is your CPU usage and temperature at after a round? Also, could depend on the map.

OP like i mentioned earlier it will be your CPU and if it is maintaining its boost that is your limiting factor for you in Squad unless your running at 2K/4K ect or with Supersampling enabled in game options for example.

Use a free program like Afterburner and HWinfo to monitor Clocks and Temps onscreen in realtime as an overlay while your in game.
You can then see if your GPU or CPU is maxing out or what they are actually boosting too.
You can alter Fan Speeds within Afterburner to keep things cooler ect.
Here is a video explaining some of the details if your not familier with all this.
