new Geforce RTX 2060, still not playable on ULTRA

[Gerda4rever]

Hey guys, i just got myself a new Geforce RTX 2060 super, but the game (and geforce experience) is recommending high/medium settings. When I select the settings ultra, the game is having lags and low fps at carrier mode.
I have 16 gb ram btw. and borderlands 3 is running on ultra as well.

someone a tip for me why that is? I'm pretty grumpy right now, because the graphic card hasn't been cheap...

For sim games like this its not just GPU but CPU as well. If you are running it on an older CPU with a new Graphics card then the bottle neck is going to be the older CPU causing the low frame rates. Your Res also affects the FPS I have the same card as you do and it will run at 1080p just fine but on higer res it will struggle.

That being said though this game uses the same engine as planet coaster and even with my i5 9600k and the RTX 2060 that most FPS I ever got was around 60 FPS and it would dip down into the mid 50s at times. I super detailed parks it was in the mid 40s.

You can't really compare an FPS game to a sim one far as performance goes because they both behave differently. FPS games tend to only load what they need as they need it but sim games like this have to load and run everything all at once which puts a lot more work on your CPU.

hey you, thank you for the fast reply!
my cpu is currently an intel core i7-4790K @4.00GHz, do you think that might cause the problem?
also my res is 1920 x 1200 ... that could be adding onto the performance as well?

thank you. i think i get what you are saying about sim games. but still ... it's frustrating, since i bought this gpu for the sake of playing Planet Zoo on the highest possible settings only and it still won't get there.

In NVIDIA control panel make sure resolution is set to 1920x1200 there also. I don't know if that will help but it seems reasonable to check.

thank you! ... even though it's bad news :) thank you.

Yeah your CPU is almost 6 years old now so its due for an upgrade, I had that same one before the upgrade and at most I could only run sim games like planet coaster at high/ medium settings. I would back your res down to 1920 x 1080 because that is the sweet spot for our graphics card. If you want to run games at a higher res you would have to opt for a more expensive card to do so like the RTX 2080 but that card is more for people who run games at 4K.

But also consider the engine they use for the game also has its share of problems on park size etc. I'm not a huge fan of their cobra engine because even people with higher spec CPUs than I have still don't get the best performance.

It's hard to say at the moment whether your CPU is the cause.

The game has only just released and I've seen quite a lot of reports concerning FPS drops so more optimisation is probably still needed and will probably arrive in future patches.
The game also still uses DX11 instead of DX12 which causes it to not utilise your CPU to it's full potential.
I'm definetly not a fan of the engine they use as it tends to choke when a certain amount of guests is reached due to CPU limitations.

The I7 4790K is still a really good CPU regardless of it's age in my opinion and I doubt whether it's a bottleneck.
Does the CPU reach 100% load when the framerate drops occur?

Just want to chime in here.

I have the same graphics card (I think): Nvidia RTX 2060 (Gigabyte Gaming OC Pro 6GB). I also have have 16GB of RAM like you.

I do run the game on ultra, at 1440p. Haven't experienced any lag so far and the game looks beautiful! Admittedly, I haven't gotten very far, only onto scenario 4 in career mode so none of my zoos are very big yet. Don't know what the FPS is but not noticed any stuttering or anything. The only thing I ever notice any lag on is clicking on animals, it seems to take half a second or so for anything to happen after I've clicked. However, that feels like a deliberate thing as it's consistent for every animal and no other type of object.

The CPU I've got is an AMD Ryzen 5 2600x. It's not overclocked or anything.

Then why did Planet Zoo recommended I7 4770K if we need better CPU? I'm running on I7 6700k with 1070 8 GB NVIDIA. It seems fine.

i don't think it's his cpu because i have a i7 2700k @ 4.6ghz and a vage 64 gpu, i get around 50fps at 1440p on ultra i dont see any lag , in 4k i get about 30fps most of the time but there is lag as you would expect .. so i guess if i ran it at 1080p it'll be over 60fps
