How is the FPS in Shadows of Doubt ?

[Vengeance4ME]

I really and I mean REALLY want to buy this game but I have no idea how the fps runs, some people say it is good and bad here and there. If some can help me I would be very grateful have a good day.

For me it's completely fine, however I don't have it on an SSD so if I sprint too long around the city it can take a moment for outdoor... decorations? to load in. I'm talking about benches, dumpsters, food carts, phone booths, etc.

So far in my playthrough it never dips to (personally) unacceptable levels, but it constantly dips into the 30s even when tuned low whenever I go in vents or outside. It's very much pushing the boundaries on acceptable for me in some cases.

this is 100% dependent on what hardware you have

It's amazing for me and therefore must also be amazing for everyone else.

It's pretty bad. With a GTX 3070 and a Ryzen 5 3600 I drop to 35-40 FPS when I'm out on the street and get about 70 fps when I'm indoors. There are also no real graphic settings to change other than window mode /Anti-aliasing but changing those didn't help.

My CPU HAS historically struggled with Unity games, Ravenfield is the only one that runs well thanks to the multi-threading update they released, but I don't know how much that might affect this game or not. I suspect it does because being out on the street my hardware sits at around 40% use but framerate doesn't climb. Game might be core limited.

How about the Experimental Branch ? I heard they keep fixing the performance on there.

I tried it and it actually does help. Went from 40 FPS to 55-70, depends where I am.

My system specs are GTX 1070, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz and I have 16.0 GB. Let me know if I missed something.

The 30 series has terrible performance in this game for some reason. Multiple users (all across the 30 series, from like 3050-3090) report really bad performance. It performs fine on my 1650.

960 gtx .. the game run great.

A this point, the only way you can gain fps is by droping your resolution. The game will stagger anyways because it need optimisation, Nothing to do with yout GPU or SSD.

Whenever comparing game performance, please remember to drop details of your PC build

Running:
10th gen I9
RTX 3080
32 GB o' mem
SSD

In either case, I find that FPS tends to be all over the place. This is a simulation-heavy game, so it will be taxing for your CPU. This will likely be your main bottleneck.

Also, your performance will be highly dependant on the city size.

I've only been playing on a "normal" city size, and while the first cutscene (that we all probably are now skipping past) will drop a bit, the rest of the game runs at 100fps for me. It's been reasonably consistent in play.

-------------------
I think there has been the occasional dip below 50.... but most of the time its higher.

I have noticed that sometimes I can outrun items spawning outdoors as well.
