Poor performance on high end rig
FPS are above 80 all the time but it doesn't feel like that. I think the frame times are pretty bad.

I play on 5120x1440 everything on iltra with Gsync on.
RTX 4080
32gb ram
12700kf @ 5ghz
M.2 SSD

Fps never goes above 110 and doesn't drop below 80 but it feels so stuttery.
The game definitely needs some serious optimization patches.

Whats your experience with it? Has someone found some temporarily fix performance wise?

Well in vain to my experience in the game. I can say that the game has a very bad optimization. Has compatibility issues with some AMD GPUs. Personally, I have a very decent PC that could play anything at a good FPS and this game is not the case. Developers must be given time to solve problems. because a game at 90 or 100 FPS is not good performance when you have a HIGH END PC.

My setup

CPU i9 13900kS cooled EK delta TEC 2
RX 7900 XTX Liquid Devil Edition GPU
RAM 64Gb 7600Mhz
SSD Nvme M.2 4TB 980 Pro
RESOLUTION 3440x1440p 240Hz

Personally, I have bad performance and without taking into account the problem of connecting to the servers with the error code -1. In my opinion I'm going to wait a while and then buy it again.

Yall literally know nothing about pc gaming. This game is badly optimized garbage, that's it. Stop posting misinformation if you know nothing about computers.

Game is badly optimazed. Run game in fullscreen, avoid supersampling rendering, I felt it makes game stutter. Other settings like ultrasampling feels more smooth.

If it hasn't already been mentioned, ENABLE mouse smoothing in the controls, it's the only way to fix the jitter/stutter currently. This does not enable mouse acceleration, contrary to some reports, but will add a little input latency.

For some reason raw input is broken. The game is very smooth until you move your mouse with mouse smoothing disabled. I noticed that controller input is perfect, and was confused until I found this.

I'd take a small amount of input delay vs using sticks any day of the week, until the issue is fixed. Many Playstation titles suffer from mouse input issues at launch and HD2 is no different.

FWIW I'm running on a 6700XT with 5700g CPU, and have AFMF and FSR from 1080p to 1440p forced, as the in-game upscaler is garbage. Average 150-200fps with frame gen most of the time but in heavy situations my CPU goes above 80% usage and it drops to 120-130fps fake frames, or 60-70fps real frames.

I can imagine the PS5 struggles with framerate on heavy scenes due to the ancient CPU.

Uh, wrong game and wrong forum.

Helldivers 2 does not have frame generation.

Also i got former arrowhead developer in discord and talked to him about his work for helldivers 2. He said that technical issues were present year before release, especially server ones, but nobody cared about it.

Most devs don't care anymore. The consumers are the issue, as they seemingly buy anything regardless of performance. Just look at home many dumpster fire PC ports have been in the Steam top sellers recently with "Very Positive" overall reviews, yet Digital Foundry and many others have shown that 0% budget went into optimisation.

It's the same reason millions buy iPhones every year. They don't care about performance or value, just whatever is "in".

Did I at any point say Helldivers 2 had frame generation?

Spotted the Nvidia user.

Wrong information, wrong user to cause silly arguments with.

Lower your resolution scale in the display settings it will boost you for like 20fps I play on ultra quality instead of native and it made a huge change..quality is good too.

Set render to Ultra quality, turn down Volumetric clouds and turn offAnti aliasing.

60 fps is not good frame rate and not running well. 120 fps is a good frame rate and running well.

what crack are you on 60 FPS is perfect and you won't notice anything about 90, literally 90% of humans can't physically see the difference somewhere above 60 to begin with thats been proven over and over at studies. Insanely high FPS is just something thats pushed by PC makers to get you to buy overly expensive components. FYI i get good FPS even on my PC from 2016 the game is WELL DAMN OPTIMIZED.
My PC can't run 9/10 games released in the last few year and usually not the ones it can well but this works just fine to the point i give props to the dev for doing such a good job well optimizing it tho that seems to be a trend with PSN games released on PC over the last few years.

Eyy, we have almost the same setup.
5120x1440 / 4080 Super / 32gb ram / 5800x Ryzen 3.8ghz / m.2 hosts OS & secondary m.2 hosts steam.

I used the "high" preset, turned off depth of field (don't ilke it), turned off motion blur (loathe it), set it to render in native resolution but otherwise don't recall messing with the settings any, don't use Gsync though, that might be a problem I've known Gsync to act real weird with some games.

Any case the game runs smooth as butter and hasn't crashed since their last patch.

It's very easy to notice anything above 60. The input lag improvements alone are worth going as far above 60 as possible. And thats just the gameplay feel.

Visuals are noticeably smoother, as your eye is literally receiving more information to fill in the gaps that 60hz would have.

I feel sorry for anyone who sticks to the whole "humans can't see above 60fps" rhetoric. It's like they're unable to change their own opinion because Karen from a random Google News site said so.

I've been using a 280hz panel for almost a year now, and it's disgusting going back to 144hz. Would I get used to it again? Sure eventually. But why downgrade when your eyes love them some sweet sweet hz increase?

The pinnacle will be 500hz OLED most likely, but as a fun game go to UFO Test and try their black frame insertion feature. You'll see straight away just how good motion clarity can be above 60hz.

For me the biggest difference is with increased motion clarity. LCD's and Oled's have a lot of motion blur at 60 fps. It's actually even more noticable on a controller because of the slow turn speed. It's also noticable during desktop use. Scrolling this forum for example looks so much better at 120hz over 60.

Im an AMD user on my gaming rig, but okay.

And yes you said so.

You were talking about the game in your post.

No idea why you are trying to insult people when your brain doesnt even function well enough to remember what you just said.

and the game runs buttery smooth for me.
