Performance

[Nightvexen]

I'm just making this post to ask if any has felt like performance is a little worse/inconsistent or if I'm just a dumbass.

Seems to be fine on my end. Though the crashes and occasional stutters when explosions on bug holes happen seem to cause it.

I'd look at various things like making sure settings in-game are adjusted accordingly (There's some rumors stating to not use the ingame framerate limiter, keep it unlimited after doing the next statement). A lot of the settings aren't working as intended. For me, I always use my Nvidia's global settings to ensure it caps its FPS to 120 at all times (Since I run a 144 monitor but safer to keep it at 120). Make sure your overall power management, both within Window's Control Panel and its newer Windows 10 (Or 11) in its Settings that is set to Balanced. Ensure there's no overheating whatsoever on top of it as these settings will keep it cooler but draw power as needed.

If it isn't anything else, then its matter of the game not playing as nice with the combination your hardware has, or perhaps you have a AMD 7000 series GPU (Which is reportedly not running as well as it should until Arrowhead and AMD confirm a fix for it). Or it can be as stupid of a solution as doing a clean install of your drivers.

Its hard to say but this game ain't perfect for me either, I should be able to run it well with my hardware but it has its moments on inconsistency despite optimizing everything to ensure it doesn't overheat alone and doesn't dip to the 60s in FPS. xP

Maybe they running some debug settings in background, lot of crashing being reported.

It's not just you. I have top of the line hardware that can handle anything but I've noticed it heating my room like nothing else now. CPU temps especially are way higher than they have any right to be, and what's worse is setting the fps cap in the nvidia control panel to 60 as opposed to 144 hardly made any difference. Something weird is definitely going on.

Performance seem ok, but crashing is back in full force. 3 out of 4 games today crashed.
Last crash even crashed my GPU Driver and gave me a weird artifacting screen.

Man I play 120 fps vr and this game somehow struggles to hit 80.

Crashing still happens regularly. Performance of game is where it should be on appropriate hardware, if you are honest with yourself. People complain about overheating...but fail to understand that is a cooling issue 100% of the time, not one with the game. That thread about how CPU's is so full of ignorance and conjecture that it should be locked. Doesn't matter what other games you play, if you over heat in ANY game, you need to upgrade cooling, or fix whatever is wrong with the cooling you have. You aren't a dumb ass, but the people that post about bad performance and excessive heat, are. Take everything here with a grain of salt. The loud minority is just that, the minority

I feel like a 10%-20% fps loss.

You're only crashing instead of overheating because your hardware isn't even good enough to strain itself to the point of powering through the moments that are causing your crashes. You're the one using lower spec lower power draw hardware that doesn't produce nearly as much heat. I've never had the game crash once, but I have noticed my hardware working overdrive now at the same time people like you are complaining about crashes, It isn't ignorant conjecture to see a connection between the two.

I project 120 fps in 4k on two monitors strapped to my face daily and this game won't push 80, idk maybe it does have some performance problems.

Here we go...

What the hell are you talking about? I'm not complaining about crashing, I do NOT have low spec hardware. Unless a 13900k and a 4090 is considered low spec now? You just made all that up....why? What are you trying to do here?

I was responding to the OP, NOT you. Maybe stay in your lane?

If your cooling isn't good enough, and your CPU usage is high, you will see very high temps. What you just said is actually waffle. Setting your FPS cap will shift work from your GPU. If your CPU is struggling with your "top of the line hardware" try turning on supersampling.

Wut? I'm not struggling, I'm not complaining, I was responding to and tryin to advice the OP, not you or anyone else. Yet here you are, being a giant confrontational douche, out of the blue for no reason...? I have literally the best AIO you can buy....420mm Artic Liquid Freezer 2. I never go above 60c, ever. CPU usage NEVER above 50%, EVER. Monitored with HWinfo64 on second monitor as well as an ingame overlay with GPU and CPU usage, power draw, FPS, frame times and vram useage. 4090 draws 440+ watts with ultra super sampling on @ 1440p.... I'm not just spewing uneducated advice. So, again, what are you doing?

You've replied to the wrong person bro.

Textures arent loading in right there low quality for no reason on my pc and my sons pc so its not just me. was fine a day or two ago

What I'm talking about is you saying "crashing still happens regularly" like you're someone on low spec hardware. If you don't have a problem with crashing then why say that?

Supersampling is already turned on and lowering the fps cap put less strain on my cpu not more.
