Help fixing performance

[Kwiff]

I really need help with my performance. I've tried a lot of stuff that I've read but its always the same sub-30 to low 30 fps. I can barely play with my friends thanks to this frame rate. We play on helldive difficulty which makes this naturally even harder.

If it helps these are my specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Six cores
Ram: 32 GBs, 20 GBs available
GPU: RTX 3070

I've followed many guides but it does nothing. Any help would be extremely democratic, and well appreciated.

What configs are you using in your game? You might want to tone them down a little bit.
Check your background applications aswell to see if any of them are draining your performance.

But quite honestly, from what I've seen, you might be suffering from CPU Bottleneck. I too use a Ryzen 5 2600, though I'm using some 3rd party programs to get the most out of it.

If you're interested in checking the softwares that I use, have a look:

-QuickCPU: Enables the user to select preferences regarding your CPU. Some cores might be parked naturally and they can go unused.
-Intelligent standby list cleaner (ISLC): A program that keeps track of your memory usage with the most recent application that you're using / running. It cleans your memory from assets that aren't going to be used any time soon, which could improve your general performance.

-Process Lasso: A software that enables you to automatically set configurations for your computer to certain applications. HOWEVER, you **DO NOT** need process lasso to make the following process:

You see, whenever you boot up a program, your CPU gives it some sort of "priority", which is most of the time "normal". However, using your Task Manager (if you're using Windows) you'll see that you can set Define Priority to certain applications, which in turn means that more resource power from the CPU is going to go directly towards the application itself rather than splitting appart. However, if you restart your OS, then you'll have to do it again and again, whenever you restart the computer. Process Lasso enables you to not have to worry about that, set it once and just chill for the rest of your days with Process Lasso. A very handy software in my humble opinion

And no, this comment wasn't sponsored by Process Lasso

Hope this helps!

Youre using DX11 or 12? 12 is a bit more resource hungry and playing the game in DX11 might give you back some FPS.

Edit: if you want to post a quick System overview: Click on "Help" in the steam client at the very top - System information. Copy& paste whole thing.

Will try this stuff, also Im using DX11

Its never going to get better until you get a cpu that can use that 3070.

It does look like maybe a cpu bottleneck , hard to say given so many setting in so many places that could affect performance.

It’d be pretty easy to drop a 5600x in there, would probably get a big boost.

game is badly optimized.

specifically weather effects.

all lowest settings on a fire tornado planet I run perfectly fine.

tornadoes come in? -15 or more fps randomly. ALL LOWEST SETTINGS.

no its not background apps.
no its not outdated drivers.
no its not anything you can think of aside from bad optimization.

your god PC isnt the standard to base others performance on

I noticed several threads where 5600x /3070-80 users were having issues with fps. I've got a 5800x3d and get 98-99% gpu usage (3070) so no bottleneck (@1440) but those posts made me wonder what the actual min cpu is to utilize a 3070.

Worst fps i've seen (on my low/med settings) is like 80 but it can feel a little choppy on the rare occasion usually a little above 90 using mostly low and some med setting. native res 1440.


Actual Suggestion:
Use msi afterburner or the ingame metrics with F5 and see if you're cpu bottlenecked. Which i think you mighht be. (high cpu / low gpu usage)

If you're actually getting 98% gpu use then it's either your game or system settings.
