Poor optimization for xeon processors

[󠀡󠀡ℍ𝕒𝕂𝕚]

I have a xeon x5680/gtx 1060 3gb and the game is literally unplayable in frontline mode, and doing some research I found that other people with xeon processors are having kinda same issues (stuttering, low gpu usage, low fps)... Its funny cause in duel servers and low population servers I can get 99% gpu usage and 144 fps almost all the time. It would be so awesome if devs can do something about it.

What do you expect... More players on the map require more CPU processing power so it makes sense that your FPS tanks in frontline and is fine in duel /low pop. That CPU is hot garbage , it's bottlenecking your 1060 hence why the low GPU usage In frontline as that mode is mainly CPU bound. You can pick them up for as little as £30 on eBay and you think they are gaming CPU's? Turn the cloth setting completely off , also turn ragdoll limit/time both to 0 it should help abit

The CPU isn't garbage as their old server CPU with 12 threads.

Also it could be internet connection or just player count or fire bombs.

oh dear oh dear. they are good for benchmark numbers, rubbish for gaming.

The CPU isn't out of it league if you look at the requirements.

Minimum
i5 4670
GTX 680

Recommended
i5 6600k
GTX 1060


What clock speed is the x5680 running at?

Base clock, and yep, its funny because I can play most AAA games at aceptable settings and 144 fps but ... It should be garbage as this "expert" of the 1st comment said xd

How can I beeing bottlenecked when im getting 50% at max of cpu usage?... Just saying, and like the other guy says I have the minimum requeriments and almost the recommended, so idk.

Dude, that is a 9 year old processor. It's outdated by about three generations. This is a CPU intensive game. Just because your processor is a Xeon doesn't mean it's fast.

I also have x5680 and what can I say. The processor maybe is old yeah. But it runs 3.3 Mhz on the base clock and 3.46 on turbo boost. And it has 12 logical cores. It's more than enough for the comfort todays gaming.
I'm sure that some developers just don't add optimization for those processors.
I literally have the same issue with many games cuz of poor, lazy developers.
For example Rust - runs on poor 40 average fps with 2x xeon 5680 and gtx 1070. Also I was tested a game called Pathologic 2. The same issue. No matter what graphic settings you really set, it always runs on very low and poor fps.
Therefore, games like PUBG run pretty clear and smooth on 120+ fps with my rig. Far Cry 5/New dawn was able to reach around 100 fps on max settings. Some other new games also run pretty nice.
I'm sure this game has the same issue with older xeon processors.
People who really think that processors could be outdated are dumb af. If the processor could reach the proper Hz speed and have enough cores, it's not the processor fault.
In case of some games, developers don't add a proper optimization for some processors to games.

Your response shows you don't understand how processors work at all since you think clock speed means the same thing between all processors.

Hint: it doesn't.

you are complaining that your 9 year old CPU designed to be used on servers, not videogames, isnt performing well for a 2019 videogame?

more cores doesnt translate to higher performance
nearly all games wont utilize your 12 server cores

Server CPUs are for servers. Not Gaming. It also probably doesn't help that it's like 9 years old.

Your issue is a low ipc and clock speed to go with it, a modern budget cpu blows those old xeons away.

Cpu utilisation isn't a clear indication either, but with 50% usage, chances are it's maxing out 6 cores, honestly haven't checked core usage on my 9900k or 7900X, but, the very low clock speed us the likely cause, to the point I doubt you get 144 in many games with that gpu unless you really turn everything down very low.

Xeons were never intended for gaming for one, they're commonly used in work place computers the most they're expected to handle is excel spreadsheets and not a whole lot else, the higher end xeons are intended for use in server banks and still struggle with 3D rendering and gaming (citation Linus tech tips & 5+ years as a compTIA A+ certified technician and CCNA)

Even I'm rocking an old FX 8350 (until I eventually bump up to a ryzen 2700 later this year) which still works fine but struggles a bit in 64 player servers and clearly bottlenecks my GTX 2070 in most games.

Different hardware is intended for different uses and the performance doesn't lie, if you wanted to get the most out of your build and intend it for gaming you would of chose a cpu suited to gaming such as an i series processor from intel or ryzen series chip from AMD. It's no surprise that a 6 core Xeon is causing throttling and can't keep up with your 1060, you've caused a massive bottleneck with an anemic cpu that was never intended for what you're using it for. Not trying to be an a** here but it's true, it's not the game's fault at all.

Why would anybody waste time optimizing a game specifically for server CPUs, let alone this old?

To run the dedicated server on the processor?

Still wouldn't be a good option.
