Low FPS with CPU

[EightEs]

Hello everyone i noticed that as soon as i play with other fellow divers my fps will dive too. I recently upgraded to a 4070 ti super and a ryzen 9 7900x which i bought because i do work on that machine too and need the extra cores. Now a friend of mine has the same setup but a 7800x3d which i know is better for gaming but i never thought that it would make that much of a difference.
Where i am getting 60-70 fps on illuminate planets he still gets solid 90s but more 100s.
I thought upgrading my CPU would let be play this game more fluently but sad to see it is still too heavy. Does the community maybe know some workaround for it? I noticed that my CPU is always at 60-70% usage so maybe i can utilize it more to get more fps.
If there is no fix for that that would be sad but then i have to live with it.In other horde shooters like vermintide or warhammer 40k performance is fine, solid 100+ fps but i only encountered this issue in this game so far, sadly one of my favourite games...

It's just how it is, you can't do much except maybe lower the graphics so it gives you bit more frames or maybe trying to see how well it'll run in other launch options like DirectX11 instead of Directx12 or vice versa
Other methods are more of a "placebo" like setting the priority of a game's .exe to high

It's mostly up to devs to write a more efficient CPU utilization

x3d is overall better for such types of a CPU hungry games so it makes sense

Getting 70~100 fps with a 7700x and an rtx2080.
Try turning off/on the asynchronous compute setting, might help.

Ugghhh im having the same issues... my PC aint nowhere near as good as yours, it's kinda trash even but hey, it manages to run the game at 40-50 FPS on medium graphics, so im okay with that. But the moment i join a Dive with other players my FPS die and get to like the 10-15 FPS territory... at first i thought it was lag, since im from South America and most of the players i found end up being from North America or even worse, Europe... but then i saw people from those regions having the same problem even with strong internet connections and i realized something else might be going on.

I am planning on upgrading my build next year (for god's sake i use an Athlon 3000g), but i was fearing that even if i use a lot of money it still wouldn't be enough to finally play the game on online play...

Check if the gpu is the bottleneck

Kinda surprised it even runs on that "pos" processor in the first place :D

Yeah i was thinking the same, but i use a RX550 and it's good enough to run it (although im also using an SSD), although there are some quirks like the bridge/lobby having FPS drops for some reason, but once im on a mission it goes super smooth. Except of course online play, i dont even know what the problem could be because i could be on the bot front with tons of artillery and stuff going on and the mission just still would go smoothly, but then at some random point my fps drop to what i previously mentioned when there is literally nothing going on the map, not even reinforcments.... so that's why im completely lost...

This keeps getting better and better, gotta say you're quite the trooper playing games like these with an absolutely horrible rig like yours.
I mean I could never not in a million years game like that :D

Okay felt the need to update a bit, but it seems that using the "--use-d3d11" command on launch options helped A LOT with the game. Before, the lobby (the Destroyer spaceship) would run horrendously and online play would drop to like 10-15 FPS for some reason even if i was able to run the game at 40-50 on Solo, but with this command now it's much more stable.
If OP still persists with these performance issues, maybe using this will help them a bit.

Only thing i found out is that sometimes the game would drop to 1FPS for an instant and then return to normal, but that i believe is probably more of a matter of my own PC and maybe GPU/CPU consumption rather than OP's build or in general.

Already tried this. Didn’t help unfortunately. I think that it is more an issue that is it is not utilizing my hardware properly.

Damn, sorry OP. I'll post again if i find something else that might help.

Game needs dlss.

no, it needs aggressive LOD usage. we need an option to force mobs to use low-detail models with low-res textures.

Or this

It's a crutch for developers who don't optimize their games, i'd rather it have better performance overall than have to rely on blur making upscaling technology
