FPS is terrible

[Selgeron]

I have tried every setting and trick I have seen online, and every combination of graphic settings. I cannot get this game to run better than 15ish RPS (which immediately drops to 10 when there is an enemy on the screen) This is at absolute lowest settings which looks terrible.

I am running an AMD Ryzen 7 7700x
AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE
and 32 gigs of ram

Which should be more than enough for this game- it runs Diablo 4 and Baldur's gate 3 at high graphics and smoothly.

Are there other people with Radeon cards that are having MAJOR issues with this game? Because even getting 30 FPS would be great.

I run a Ryzen 7 5800X, a 7900XT, 32GB, and the game runs on ultra settings at a smooth v-sync'd 100fps, 1440p, and the fans are completely silent.

If I put it on ultra settings it goes down to literally one FPS

[Selgeron]

Ideally what I am looking for here, is someone who HAD problems who then discovered a way to fix the problems.

[AirSniffer]

No fix currently, game is simply not optimized.

ryzen 5-3600/6650xt xfx / 32 gb ram
I Play on 1080p ulta settings with locked 60 fps and it runs great for me 90% of the time
are you playing 1440 or 4k or anything? I used to have very high memory usage before 1/0 but seems like they mostly fixed that
if I put it down from ultra to high i can lock 75 fps and its mostly stable lol

I've seen so many of these performance threads and I'm really surprised people are having issues.

I'm getting more or less locked 145FPS on very high with:

7800x3D
7800 XT
32Gb 6000Mhz cl30

One of the very few games where I just set it to very high and never had a reason to change it.

[Selgeron]

It has to be some bug, because the performance im getting from this game is just unreasonable

plug your monitor into your GPU and not your onboard IGPU

[Alerion]

Most of the time it runs smoothly on my computer without the fans of the graphics card spinning, or at least hardly at all. On some maps, however, there seem to be severe problems.

Then my card suddenly consumes measurably 3-4 times as much power and starts to get audibly louder. However, I often have similar problems with Unity Engine games. I think the developers should have another look at what's going wrong.

That actually made me laugh, thank you.
And it could be the solution

I had issues with 60 fps -> 30 fps -> 60 fps all day in combat + microstutters in combat

It was so frustrating so i've been trying to find ways to fix it

I followed this short guide that shows visually the differences between each level in each graphic setting:

'Last Epoch Graphics Guide - Resentec'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8IIPlLKWe8

Changed all the in-game settings, it just changed the 60 -> 24 -> 60 or 60 -> 40-> 60 etc

So it sort of helped but didn't fix the stutters

I tried this guide:

'This ONE setting could FIX YOUR FPS Stuttering & Make Games WAY SMOOTHER! *BIG UPDATE - Panjno'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5JUzK-sRm0

It's about disabling the GameBarPresenceWriter file that Windows tries to activate for Xbox LIve games, but it works on all games you play and can cause stuttering

So i followed that guide and disabled/renamed it etc

i also emptied out the cache as shown here (without doing the permissions, so whatever it deleted great, whatever it left behind, don't care)

'How To Delete NVIDIA Cache to FIX Game Stutter & Performance issues 2024 - Panjno'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDcvc43yzG0

I changed from VSYNC ON to VYSYNC OFF BUT Limited the FPS to 60 in the settings


I also followed this guide in the steam forum guides :

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2946689977

Setting the game's priority to High and unchecking CPU 0 (unchecking made things worse, so i put it back on to have all cores)

At this point the 'stutters' had stopped, but the fps drops were present (60-30-60 fps stuff when fighting)

But things were still a bit weird so i just turned graphic settings individually to very low (except textures and graphic settings itself, all the shadows/lighting i put to off if it had an off or very low)

This actually bumped my fps to not do the 60->40 - > 60 anymore and it just stayed at 59-60 in the Monolith

So i think i've fixed it in all of the above

I think its the gamebar + in-game shadow/light settings that are the cause of the stutters/fps drops if i had to pick and choose stuff from the above

Hope some of that helps if you were frustrated like i was with the microstutters and fps drops when your machine should naturally handle similar games with 0 problems

7600x paired with a 6700XT running 1080p max settings, except "volumetric cloud", which is one setting down from max. I get a constant 60fps. Zero stuttering or slowdowns.

I run the CPU at 65w same for the thermal limit and have a slight under clock on the GPU. From 2552 set to 2500, with a small under volt 1175 from 1200.

Set my 32gb of 6000mhz ram using "EXPO" in the bios. No voltage tweaks to that at all.

I'm on 24.2.1 drivers. Installed after running DisplayDriverUninstall. Making sure Windows update does not override the driver. Set that up within the DDU software.

Stark contrast compared to my old CPU being a ten year old I7 5820k. This CPU is nuts running 5.4ghz

[KillJoy]

Since it's a GRE likely a driver issue since it's a fairly new card. I run a 7900 XTX and it's butter smooth at 100 FPS locked.

I would suggest locking your FPS to 100 and see if it makes a difference.

[Selgeron]

I rolled my drivers back to the previous one on the AMD Ryzen and then re-updating it fixed it.

Who knows why!
