Worse performance than expected (i5-3470/RX 580 8GB)

[Basket]

So, I tried out the game today. At first it ran fine, but once I tried doing a multiplayer hunt with one more person (a friend), I noticed that even with my graphics on Medium at 1080p resolution, Volumetric fog turned off, shadows on low and foliage sway off, I was only getting at most 50FPS. At some times the frames would dip horribly, going under 30 and, one time even reaching 7(!!!).

My CPU thermals never went past 70C (I just cleaned my CPU and cooler three days ago and installed some new thermal paste which brought the temperature down), my GPU wasn't even running at 60%, but the game still lagged to hell. I expected SOME bottleneck with this CPU (my GPU is brand new. Used for two days) but this was super unexpected.

Is this the kind of performance I should expect running with this CPU? I know it's old but upgrading costs an arm and a leg here (1500 bucks just for a Ryzen 5 1600 and an 8GB 2400mhz RAM stick).

Are there any other settings I can tweak to improve the FPS without having to drag my graphics all the way down to minimum?

You should expect good performance in any new games, with such a garbage CPU. It doesn't matter whether or not you have a good GPU, if the CPU is that bad. You need to upgrade it. And I don't think you can tweak any settings in game, to make up for the CPU.

From what i heard, the game is really heavy on the cpu. You could try lower the resolution scaling but i'm afraid that you need a new cpu if you want to stay at constant 60 fps

[Supreme Fish™]

Yes u should expect that perfomance the store literally stated that 4th generation intel for minimum specs. Your cpu are on 3rd generation is beloe minimum specs

Sneering at people for using older ♥♥♥♥ doesn't accomplish anything. I'm on a 10 year old i7 920 2.67GHz with 6GB of RAM and a Geforce 960 GTX and I get 60 FPS consistently on medium settings across the baord with the highest resolution scaling.

People need to get off their high horse and stop saying "JUST BUY A NEW CPU" every time someone has a performance issue. This is all patchable ♥♥♥♥. MHW is on MT Framework which is an insanely old engine. It's super optimized but clearly some chipsets/hardware configurations struggle with the game in its current state. Just hold tight and wait for patches or fixes yall

Im also playing this game buttery smooth at 1440p with GTX 1070 and i7 930 (OCd to 4.0 Ghz).

.... *wait, I7 was 10 years ago?... damn I feel old...

how the heck are you getting 60 fps and i'm getting 40.. i've got an i3 4170 which is better than your cpu and a gtx 1050 ti. HOWW

[WoogieRex]

try rolling latest graphics driver back might help it did for me

[Kobi Blade]

RX480 + Ryzen 1600 and I can play just fine at 1080p (High Settings), getting stable 60FPS with no drops.

So it's either your CPU, or some Software conflicting in the background (like overlays).

Yeahhh, no. Your cpu is a dual core with 4 threads, which is considered extremely ♥♥♥♥, his CPU is a quad core with 8 threads which is just fine for modern day gaming. Newer generation doesn't mean better performance.

this PC port is really bad. It is notoriously over demanding on PC requirements. It is clear the dev team optimized the console version much more than the PC version, so unless you have a pretty good comp, expect your framerate to be all over the place. As long as your comp is beast (which this game should not require but sadly due to unoptimization it does) your framerate will be steady.

With that said, I am still glad we have this PC port, it just still needs a LOT of work.
