Low FPS. Is it normal?
Hi guys. I need your help!

My Specs:
i7-8750H, RTX2070, 16 GB ram, SSD

... it runs very low on low settings and DX11. 45-80 FPS.
it all depends on the map.

In heavy battles and a lot of movement, the FPS drops drastically

Is there a way to boost the FPS a bit?

It's the CPU. Everything below an Intel 10th Gen or Ryzen Zen 3 runs this bad even if it runs more than fine in other more demanding games.

Ryzen x3d, rtx 3060ti, 32gb ram, runs around 100fps with cinematics, rest med / high 1080p with 115 res, dx11 (dx12 sucks)

Dropped alot of frames when 4.2 patch came out,

Switching from Ryzen 1700X to Ryzen 5600x doubled or trippled my fps depending on the map.

My 3900X runs the game on high settings, 4K, 60fps.

What resolution are you playing in? Also game sucks at shadows and lighting effects, turn those down. Also some maps are more optimized than others.

I run it on 1440p and had to completely lower most of my settings and i can get a stable 50 with stuttering, but a couple versions ago i was laughing at 120FPS. All shadows and lighting effects n the lowers.

And yeah, I have about 1200hrs of game time, so I know even which maps run better than on release, but it's the server desync they need to address and it's been a concern for nearly 3 years now.

Sucks for you I guess. I will test it with the i9-11900K I got in my workstation if it runs as bad as yours does.

Find your GPUs 3D options and change your power management setting to prefer maximum performance.

Well, last patch certainly did not help...

most likely your resolution then

anyone playing over 1080p seems to have these issues meanwhile 2 years ago I was flying with 100-120FPS with an i7 8700k

Go figure

I tested it with a 11900K, RTX 3080ti and 32GB RAM and get avg. 100fps in 1440p max settings. Depending on the map 80fps up to 140fps.
Maybe delete the cache folder manually, that fixes 50% of problems most players have.
