Terrible performance with my high end PC

[VØ1D]

So I have dual GTX 970s in SLI and a 4790k. Yet when I play this game I get terrible performance - we're talking 40ish FPS on average. My native resolution is 3440x1440, so I tried lowering my resolution. The FPS does go up, but not by much. The graphics settings from very low to fantastic seem to make little difference. Anyone else experiencing horrendous performance or have any tips? Thanks.

I should also add that I've owned this game since shortly after it released. I was hoping some future patches would help performance since this title is early access, but it's stayed pretty consistently poor.

well one your pc its about high mid range and try 1080p as your 970 obviously cant handle 4k.

I have:

i5-4570 3.2GHz (Quad)
8GB RAM
GTX 1050 Ti 4G

At a res of 1080p and runs a solid 60fps with no drop at any point.

and if 1080 dont work try using a seperate hardrive for your games and OS and possibly remove some crap off the OS Hdd (if you have seperate Hdd)

oh also try not using SLi

Got sli 1070, no problem on that, got huge framedrops when pikking up cases, but that haze been fixed on the 0.8.0 update

I have SLI disabled/set to run on a single card on this game. I updated my GPU driver to the latest driver. I have no issues running any other game. Hell I can run Crysis 3 at an average of 90-100 FPS maxed out on my ultrawide monitor. That's pretty high end to me. I verified game cache as well. Still having issues. Something about this game is not agreeing with my PC.

ah fair enough the game probably just needs ironing out a bit more with the new stuff they have been adding

Running on a FX-7600P and Radeon R9 M280X on my laptop (Asus N551ZU). Frame rate is acceptable at 1080p with everything turned down to low, but yeah, the frame rate still isn't buttery smooth as opposed to on my gaming desktop. The slowdowns when carrying certain cases seem to have gone away since the 0.8.0 update as many has said.

Well this is ironic

Try SLI enabled, create a profile with nvidia inspector for PCBS and try forcing it to AFR2 mode, might work. Really though if you're using nvidia SLI this should be a common-practice thing you should be familiar with doing, everyone owning SLI nvidia cards is always trying to make their own SLI profiles for new games. It actually works most of the time.

I'm familiar with forcing SLI to work on games. The problem isn't SLI, the problem is this game shouldn't be running so terrible on a single 970 when I see people running systems less powerful than mine and getting better performance.

I have an older system, a 2500K @ 5.0 ghz and a overclocked GTX 780 and this game runs perfectly fine, and I can even force anti-aliasing up to 32xSSAA fand it's still 60 FPS everywhere, but I'm playing at 1920x1080. Did you try disabling vsync in-game? Maybe it's your problem, maybe the game just doesn't work well above 1080p. But it should be working fine, as long as your computer is running properly.

I did try disabling vsync. Didn't change anything. I even used DDU to wipe my GPU driver and reinstalled, still the same issue. If I lower the resolution to the lowest setting I can get 120hz (my monitor is 120hz) but at my native 3440x1440 even on low it goes to 40 fps and my 970 is maxed at 100 percent usage.

Well there's your answer. A single GTX 970 is (apparently) not fast enough to run your chosen resolution in this game. Nothing you can do. Upgrade to a faster single GPU or deal with it.

I would wait for a patch. this game is very rough. I had to set it at 1080p, because at 1440p, no matter the settings, it's just a stuttery mess.

FInally, some actual good advice. Thank you for your input. I tried the game on my GF's laptop w/ a 1050 Ti as well and it was a stuttery mess. Guess this game is just unoptimized due to it being early access. Thank you.

Or just play at 1080p (or below) and be happy like 90% of the rest of us that play PCBS with no issues, no stuttering and no problems (graphics wise anyway, game still has a ton of bugs) at all.
