Performance Fix?

[Bortedet]

I have a 970, i7-4790k and 8 gigs of RAM. I changed the settings to Very Low and I'm getting 30 to 50 FPS? What the hell? As far as I can see, minimum reqs are much lower than my rig so I'm assuming this is unusual? Are there any fixes I can use to see stable 60 FPS?

i wish i could help since we have almost identical specs.
does my 2nd 970 help in the game ? does having 8gb more also help?
do you have lots of stuff running in the back ground ?

No, I don't leave stuff running in the back ground when I open a game. I'm gonna upgrade my RAM in a couple days but looking at the specs, performance shouldn't be like this with 8 gigs.

I have I5 6500, 16 GB RAM and Rx 470 8gb running Grid from my Samsung Ssd and get 100-120 Fps on high but it still stutters and this should be fixed. Dirt Rally 2.0 runs smoother on my Rig than Grid 2019. No Problems with other Games but Grid 2019 should be patched soon.

Some tracks are less optimized, keep that in mind.
Try something simple like Silverstone or Sydney, tweak until you have a decent and steady frame rate. Next go San Francisco, if that’s steady, go Shanghai.

I had this stuttering issue too - turning off the fps limit helped for me.

970m
8 GB RAM

I don't have anything to tweak. Everything is set lowest possible. That's why I'm asking. I check different tracks though.

Don't really have any performance issue, even most reviews and performance review said this game is really well optimized and this game actually benefits from Multi Cores.
I'm not sure what's the performance of a 970. But that card is rather dated...that could be the issue.
I'm just making assumptions though. Also this game is rather demanding for some weird reason.
If you set to Ultra you will lose a lot of FPS compared to High, but doesn't make much difference when using Ultra , so it's best just go with High.

And honestly that 4790K is really dated as well when it comes to modern games, games are starting to use and favor more Cores....that old Intel mindset
" Games only need 4 Cores or less " is starting to die....this is the new future of gaming. Multi Cores. More and more games are starting to show it, Gears 5 is another example.

EDIT : I forgot, this game uses DX12 right ?? Well good luck running it with a 970.

These are the official minimum system requirements:

Processor: Intel i3 2130 / AMD FX4300
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GT 640 / HD7750

Also what's with DX12 and 970? Are they incompatible or something?

[Quick☢420™]

Gtx970's are dx12 compatible....

[MancSoulja]

No

This game is really well optimised, it's also weirdly demanding? Then it's not optimised is it?

Qual a resolução usada? Drivers e Windos10 estão devidamente atualizados?
FX6300(stock), 16GBs de RAM e GTX1050ti no Alto em 1366x768 rodando suave 50~80FPS, TALVEZ sua RAM não é o suficiente ou... existe algum problema com as GTX970 neste jogo.
Youtuber Santiago Santiago testou em uma GTX750ti em 1080p no médio e teve o mesmo frame rate que você 30-50FPS

Turns out my CPU was overheating and therefore throttling. I cleaned the heatsink and now I'm getting 60 FPS in High settings. So I guess 4790k isn't that dated lolç

It's time to upgrade... Even if you are on low this game is beyond your hardware for the frame rate you want.

Don't give me that it's not optimized bs because it is. I run it maxed at 4k60+(vsync), 120+ but with dips without.

Your CPU is old, your GPU is old and you gave 8 gigs of RAM... They are designing games with the pro consoles as the basis and even that is shifting as we speak to the ps5 and Xbox Scarlett as the basis and that includes grid. Your 970 doesn't even compare to what's in the current pro consoles and you're hampered further by it's 3.5 and .5 chunks of vram

Yes..it is. We are about to enter a generation of consoles powered by AT LEAST 8 core 2nd gen ryzen running around 3.3-3.6ghz. Those are base models.

Man, I'm not trying to get 60 FPS on 4K or 120 FPS on 1080p... Point is to get 60 FPS on 1080p res. For the framerate I want and the resolution I want, my CPU turned out be enough in most games without much compromise in settings. To give you an opinion, in my country, in order to get a 2080, you have to spend around 5 minimum wages. If this wasn't the case, I would upgrade without waiting for the new consoles. I will upgrade when I can and will be puzzled with good reason when I don't get 60 FPS in lowest settings in a game with much lower minimum reqs. Thankfully the mistake was mine and I was able correct it. If I hadn't gotten good performance after the dusting and adding extra thermal paste I would have every right to say this game is not optimized because I played quite bit since yesterday and graphics are really not that good. Also a simple google search tells me GTX 970 has 4 teraflops and PS4 Pro has 4.2, albeit with twice VRAM and an obviously better optimization for games but still, I don't see how it "doesn't even compare." since PS4 doesn't even run native 4K and definitely not with 60 FPS. If the game is well optimized, it can compare well enough for this generation. I will (if I can) upgrade when the new consoles are out and 4 GB really starts to feel insufficient. You can go ahead and gift me a new GPU or CPU anytime you want though. I can't buy one myself without selling a kidney here, literally.
