Grateful for the video. But like with Darktides optimization guide, you need to play the game with all the hordes and explosion on screen to truly test your fps. An empty field or room doesn't really say much.
Yeah ... this is like showing off Hogwarts Legacy walking around your Dorm Room ... but not flying over a lush forest or a huge spell fight with 20 enemies ... He usually does this to flex his gaming rig and to just get a video out... -_-
whats more outragous here is that he is on a i9 13th gen was it. that should say plenty of how bad this optimisation is. i get constant dips into the 40's and 50's with so much spawning. it makes it hard to do reflex actions such as diving when attacked etc etc because the fps is just tanking that hard. also FOV in other games might not effect FPS but in this.. going from 70 to 85 i lost a good 12FPS thats how absurdly unoptimized the game is
@@iAmDiBBz i guess its both DRM and anti-cheat, since ive have experience w/ DRM (Dyinglight 2) and anticheat (AC6 and Darksouls) bad CPU utilization before had to bypass to remove bottlenecks
Nice vid. Thanks for doing examples of graphics changes. Rather than just reading through the settings like many other youtubers seem to do.. "yes thanks buddy, I was able to read that myself"
This was very helpfull, specially the section on the impact of antialiasing with and without upscaling, it has the biggest impact on how the game looks and I would have never thought about it.
Thanks for the video! Wow the game can't even hit 60 on med settings on a 3080ti. Thats just rediculous. Edit: performance is getting worse with each update
I dont know why but my game is so choppy despite lowering all the settings, I have a RTX 3070 an an 11th gen Intel i9 but it runs like a 60s soviet computer.
Thank you for this. I have never played triple A games or modern games due to not having a decent pc and now with my new computer I struggle a lot with settings in games.
As a render programmer going to share that 'FPS' - is a logarithmic scale. That means that drop of 15FPS when you have 200FPS is nothing while drop of 15 fps when you have 30 fps is a double frame time! Next time pls keep use the linear scale (TIME in ms!) and your results would be much more accurate.
In steam right click on your game > propreties > under Launch Option write "--use-d3d11" (two dashes without " of course.) Should make a difference, it's forcing the game to launch under DirectX11 instead of 12 and weirdly enough it seems to boost fps and make crashes less frequent (specially for low CPU) i'm running on a GTX1660Ti and AMD ryzen 5 3400G and i finally can play the game, it's not close at all from insane graphics but it makes it playable if you tweak the display option in game at low graphics
Good video but I wanted to add some caveats 1 - The game looks bad with AA off because you have the sharpening up with AA off, no AA is already crisp/clear your'e just exaserbating it. The sharpening was added to the game *because* of the AA method. 2 - The reason AA off is provided even when it doesn't have a big performance impact is because TAA (the AA type infamous for blurring) has a lot of concessions to it other than just stationary blur as you noted, but most of them you're not going to see unless you're moving or panning the camera. It has motion blur, which means its an accessibility setting for those with motion sickness. TAA also falls apart in motion, just side step (press A and D repeatedly) between Off and On and you'll see the motion blur and you may even see other TAA artifacts like smearing, ghosting, etc. It's very important to test TAA and upscaling in motion when judging its quality. It also gives the image a smudgy look that grows stronger and stronger the lower your resolution is, which makes its concessions worse. It's all preference ofc, but your setup and biology and game genre all play a big role in whether or not it's desired. Best of luck.
My game on start and on first mission is buttery smooth with 60 but after a single mission it tanks to 20. Even on lower settings it still meanders under 30. My guess is cached data that isn't being cleared when the map is unloaded.
Backstory. Ran the game at 1600x900 resolution while running a r5 3600 and a rx 6700 xt and a msi b450 motherboard with nothing overclocked and barely managing 45-60 fps on medium/low settings. I did however find a FIX to this. This advice is for those who feel as if this game should be running better with the setup they have atm, HOWEVER, try this at your own risk, the tip I’m going to mention have caused instability for some such as crashing or even boot issues and so I’ll leave an asterisk for the part that’s risky. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. I’d advise to set a restore point/backup just in case. Note. This game is cpu intensive which is what lead me to this fix. Optimize and set your RAM to its rated speed in BIOS. Often than not, some ppl haven’t unlocked the full capability of their RAM sticks. Default is set to 2133mhz, there are vids to show how to change this, though I’ve already done and set mines to 3600mhz. **Also enable XMP/D.O.C.P. to your installed ram profile* This is a different setting that made a difference to my performance to be more consistent and stable. “Extreme Memory Profiles” (XMP) or Direct Overclocking Profile” (DOCP), from what I’ve read, seems to keeps your RAM in the “overclocked position/speed. This is important since my motherboard was defaulted at 2133mhz out the box, so any RAM speed that’s rated more is considered “overclocked.” Now that your RAM has been set to its rated speed in the BIOS, XMP (in my case), will ensure that your RAM will stay at its profile speed and not fluctuate when it wants to. Now your cpu and RAM can effectively communicate at its rated speed on a consistent basis which lessen the load on the gpu and overall improve performance (maybe*). After the change, I now can run 1080p on medium at 60-90 fps. My bad if this is long and kinda technical, just wanted to put this out there and hope it can help somebody… FOR DEMOCRACY🦅🦅🦅
I have 3060ti and 5800x3d play on an lg 4k tv. You think ill get decent image quality and perf from this game? As i understand the render scale is only FSR and not DLSS. I would probably have to tone down settings and then set it to balanced or something...Idk if its worth it?
I'm using a 4070Ti while playing it, with a 3060Ti I believe you can have a pretty good experience with medium graphical settings while upscaling is anywhere from performance to ultra quality, depending on what you find more important, fps, or image clarity. I believe the 3060Ti also has 12GB of VRAM right? Which means you can keep texture quality on Ultra I believe.
i have a 3060 and a 5700G. I somehow get way better perfromance than Chute does here, but i also have 12gb of VRAM vs your 8, which makes it seem like VRAM is king for this game.
@@CorvusCorviday Nah, VRAM doesn't matter when it comes to performance, you're simply able to play with Ultra textures while 8GB of VRAM can support High texture quality at best.
The "Render Scale" preset has nothing to do with DLSS or FSR. At Ultra Quality your rendering about 90% of your resolution. Everything is made more blurry at anything under Native, just as if you set this at the driver level. My issue is my 4090 is only running at 900mhz... so I get 130fps at native 1440p but I'm on 240hz monitor. When I drop the Render Scale to quality my card finally decides to boost to 3ghz and gives me 240fps. It's so weird.
I have the absolute lowest settings, low graphics settings, no motion blur, ultra performance. Take I guess of what my fps is. A whopping 18 fps. That is the best I've gotten so far. Quality settings and low graphics comes to a total of 12 fps. Any suggestions? Should I go for fps and get a mess of blurry or get almost no blur but get low fps. Either way I'm getting low fps. Currently I play at balanced settings and low graphics averaging at 13 fps.
The only hang up doing them one at a time is how the settings interact or load your system as a group of settings. Doing them one at a time with them all on low can be deceiving.
I genuinely am struggling to find the issue with my PC atm. Build, Graphics: 4080 Processor: i9-12900k Ram: 32gb Reso: 1440 UHD FPS doesn't seem to be consistent by any means. It tends to go up and down, never really consistent. I'm getting a bit over 70 FPS with Supersampling on, graphics on Ultra. Even changing those settings around don't even give me an increase. I get the same FPS regardless of my render scale setting. I cannot figure out at all what I need to do to increase my performance or if there's some sort of issue with my PC atm.
My game worked perfectly during the first month of the game release but all of a sudden I noticed that my frames started to drop. I don’t know if the updates messed up my game or I need to do a pc upgrade but I’ll use this video to hopefully fix my fps problems
My games fps keeps stutering. Like it'll go up to 90 fps and than back down to 30 fps in the span of 2 secs on repeat without me even doing anything how do I fix this. I have a 3080 ti graphics card with a 12 Gen Intel core i7
I'm hyper fixated on my FPS normall but somehow even though i was playing at 60fps sometimes lastnight the game still looked like it was running VERY well.
I cant believe how many frames you get from lowering reflection quality, when there are so little reflections in the game lmao. Definitely a noticeable difference!
Im on the lowest possible graphics on 1080p using a 960 gtx, i barely hit 35 fps. 20 fps when many enemies near me. Also getting fps drops sometimes to 10 fps for no reason. I dont expect to hit 60 fps but at least steady between 35-50, Anyone know what i can do to fix it?
I play on a 3050 laptop and still get around 70-90 fps in solo at low settings but often the game just decides that it wants to run slower like one time I had 20 fps but it was just a bug
I travel a lot for work and even though I'm sure my computer at home would run the game just fine, I would like to know if it would be playable on my laptop. i7 10510U, MX230, 8GB. By playable, 40-50 FPS on lowest settings would be fine. Thoughts?
I use a gaming laptop RTX 3050 6 gb vram AMD Ryzen 7 6800h 32gb ram I also have an IET fan. With this I can run 1440p games at 60-90 fps with a DLSS on Quality with Medium to High graphics This game unfortunately doesn't run well when most games do
I have a 3070ti Intel i7 12700h 32 gb of ram And play at 2560x1600. I play on Medium and quality upscaling and only get around 70-90 fps. Game feels a little odd to say the least. But recently other games I've been playing have seemingly dropped in FPS as well. So idk whats up.
Only thing is I do not understand why fullscreen option doesn't work, game just opens in window, probably because my display is 2560x1440 but I open games in 1920x1080 and instead of just opening game in fullscreen why this resulution, it just opens in window and because of that I need to use heavy upscaling :| Also I don't think on such small maps, even with so many enemies performance of this game would be that bad, I had some massive fights in warframe with so much going on screen and still had stable 60fps on medium and here in Helldivers it is just pain
I believe thats because this is a DX12 game. If Im not mistaken Fullscreen no longer exists, and anything that offers full screen is just borderless full screen windowed, so you get weird behavior like this.
And there's me with a 2080 i7 LAPTOP with pretty bad cooling. I have a cooling stand, vent fan and good thermal paste yet have to place an industrial fan facing the bottom of my laptop to not suffocate and die from. 90°. I feel like I just need to save up 1.5k for a desktop
Your wrong about the "Space Quality" preset as well. It's the skybox texture for all the maps. On the ground or in space. It shouldnt affect performance because it's just loading a texture once and sitting there. So it's RAM based.
Y dont understand i got a 2070super at 1440p renderation on ultra quality en grafics on medium and the runs at 100fps and you with an rtx 3080ti runs at 70 fps
im playing in 2k on 3060 i5 10400f I had tweaked all settings, 0 difference but the game stated to look like shit I turned of anti aliasing - jumped from 49 to 70, but it was too sharp, could see the pixels Set on quality render and its look ok and now running at 80+
This is probably caused by a bug. I'm having this happen to me inconsistently. Some ppl say it's caused by amount of ship in orbit, but I don't think that's the case, as I've had cases where there are many ships rendered in but no lag.
This guide defo doesnt cover most of it. As you go up in difficulty, the amount of enemies gets drasticly multiplied more and more. The clutter gets mose massive in 1 LOS. To add to it when they use their attacks whether its lasers rockets or vomit etc, you get really smacked with low fps. So this guide really just shows what his stable fps looks like in a trivial difficulty with nearly or no enemies around. The map is empty mostly. Try what he did on 7 8 or 9.
they mustve done some optimization im running at 10600k with a 3070 ti and run everything on high some on ultra and its 80-90 fps on average @ 1440p weird
I have found the frames to be wildly inconsistent. A few nights ago I was getting a smooth 60 frames on Performance mode with my gtx 1080, and the game looked great. However when I started playing it last night I couldnt push past 40 frames, even when I lowered my graphical settings to try and squeeze as many more frames as I could. I wish the game had a targeted FPS option, as for some reason even when I put it on Ultra Performance it doesn't actually give me any extra frames, just makes the game look shittier with no benefit. If I could set the game to always do 60 or 90 fps I would. I know COD MW 2 has this setting and it works great.
Same thing happened to me.... It's either the servers can't handle too many players or there is a memory leak... Btw try playing solo there is a huge difference in fps.
@@dardeb15 I noticed that playing solo REALLY helps with performance. I guess a lot of it is the game rendering three extra characters and all their strategems / weapons / etc.
Got an Ryzen 9 7940HS, RTX 4060, and this game is STRUGGLING on lowest settings. I know laptops "aren't the best" for gaming but man my old i7 10750H, GTX 2060 ran this game amazingly last month. I think during the Bot Invasion, the game somehow got de-optimized.
That's not a very good optimisation guide... you are an a planet without any action, I did the same for my config... I was running at 120fps with a 3080 ryzen 5 5600xt on a planet alone... When I came back on a planet with other players and more mobs... I dropped down to 60-70fps. You have to try the settings in different situations
it's not FSR 1, it just lowers the render scale, and i'm guessing the shimmers are just from aliasing since i don't get them with aliasing off with upscaling
I think they may have improved performance since this video. I have a 7800xt which is supposed to be on-par with 3080 ti but I get much better performance than he is here @ same resolution
i have a 3080ti and 12700k and i'm getting ~90 fps on 1440p with everything maxed out (resolution scale is at native). i don't know why you're getting 40's and 50's with a better cpu than mine at the same resolution. (cpu is running hella hot tho)
I used your settings on my dellg3 i5 limited to 3.4ish ghz, undervolted. Gtx1660ti 6gb and 16 gb of ram. I get 55ish fps high enemy numbers and ultra quality render scale. Around 75-79C. Native around 42-45fps
My 6700k+ RTX 3080 and 16 gb of ram, Playing this 2K with default graphics settings and it absolute gorgeous. It runs 30 fps almost all the time and I feel like I'm playing this game on PS3 💀
I have a pretty strong GPU (RX580) but weak CPU i5 4440 and only 8GB of RAM... do you think I can run this game properly? It's ok to set everything in low, graphic does not matter much for me, as long as the frame rate is stable and no slowdown like playing helldivers 1 on vita.
@@zoopa9988 that is glad to hear... But will my cpu able to run it? Since it's only i5 4440, very old i know... But if i upgrade it, i also must upgrade my mobo. I'm not really swimming in money right now, especially in this kind of economy.
If you have an Nvidia card you can set max fps in the Nvidia Control Panel. Similar option on AMD as well. Capped mine to 50 fps with Latency Mode set to Ultra. Barely reaches the 70s on a 3060m with this videos graphic settings.
A ryzen 3600 bottlenecks a rx 470 at 50hz in this game thats right a r 5 3600 cant even maintain a steady 50hz in this game that has to be a record for incompetenece
I got this game. I have a 4090 and i9 chip, along with a really good water cooler. So I install and start the game, and all 3 fans start running loudly (which I have never seen before in any game), and this WAS AT THE MENU SCREEN. During tutorial, my card is slowly getting hotter and hotter. So I start turning down all the graphics settings, and enable sync to 60 fps max. If everything is set to "Medium", the game still runs hot. Something is very wrong with it.
Grateful for the video.
But like with Darktides optimization guide, you need to play the game with all the hordes and explosion on screen to truly test your fps. An empty field or room doesn't really say much.

FPS doesn't seem to be consistent by any means. It tends to go up and down, never really consistent. I'm getting a bit over 70 FPS with Supersampling on, graphics on Ultra. Even changing those settings around don't even give me an increase. I get the same FPS regardless of my render scale setting. I cannot figure out at all what I need to do to increase my performance or if there's some sort of issue with my PC atm.

The upscaling options have absolutely no impact on my performance, just makes it blurry. If anything I think I lose frames.
My game worked perfectly during the first month of the game release but all of a sudden I noticed that my frames started to drop. I don’t know if the updates messed up my game or I need to do a pc upgrade but I’ll use this video to hopefully fix my fps problems
My games fps keeps stutering. Like it'll go up to 90 fps and than back down to 30 fps in the span of 2 secs on repeat without me even doing anything how do I fix this.
I have a 3080 ti graphics card with a 12 Gen Intel core i7
Thanks for verifying the game engine is a turd.
Same here. Did you ever find a fix?
@@sierra7534 yep sure did. V sync helped and I tweak some of my pc settings now I consistently get 90 to 165 fps.
@@IAMGOD200did you turn it on or off?
@@gentlemanbronco3246 I turned it on now because I put my fans on whisper mode which seem to help as well.
I'm hyper fixated on my FPS normall but somehow even though i was playing at 60fps sometimes lastnight the game still looked like it was running VERY well.
Yea the game would drop to like 20-30 for me and it just doesn’t feel that slow, dunno what it is
@@EP_mcI think it’s just that when the fps drops that low there’s too much going on to the realize what fps you’re at
@@seanmoist5418 yea the game feels really smooth except for the random crashes and lagging out of games, have had no dysnc or anything
Bro I would kill to have games that look like this play at 60fps consistently on my pc.
the game constantly feels laggy even if I get to like 120 fps in the ship
Thanks for explaining wtf "Sacaling mode" is
I get 2 fps in the setting menu, you get 50 in a bttlefield
thanks man well made vid :)
I cant believe how many frames you get from lowering reflection quality, when there are so little reflections in the game lmao. Definitely a noticeable difference!
Hey do know how to fix input lag on kbm ?
Im on the lowest possible graphics on 1080p using a 960 gtx, i barely hit 35 fps. 20 fps when many enemies near me. Also getting fps drops sometimes to 10 fps for no reason. I dont expect to hit 60 fps but at least steady between 35-50, Anyone know what i can do to fix it?
Bro, honestly just get a fucking graphics card like why are you still playing on that shit?
@@edgarrawdriguezhe needs a 7600xt, best future Proof budget GPU ATM with 16gb of vram
10x bro, great job
I play on a 3050 laptop and still get around 70-90 fps in solo at low settings but often the game just decides that it wants to run slower like one time I had 20 fps but it was just a bug
What's the overlay you're using for game performance?
MSI's afterburner overlay, it's good for all games even ones with anti cheat that might normally flag the program.
My i7-10700k is at 80 to 90% ingame. Can I somehow fix this?
Sony games on pc always consume more %cpu dont worry
I travel a lot for work and even though I'm sure my computer at home would run the game just fine, I would like to know if it would be playable on my laptop. i7 10510U, MX230, 8GB. By playable, 40-50 FPS on lowest settings would be fine. Thoughts?
The game will not be playable on that laptop unfortunately.
nah an mx230 runs nothing launching today. 8gb of ram is not that good too
I use a gaming laptop
RTX 3050 6 gb vram
AMD Ryzen 7 6800h
32gb ram
I also have an IET fan. With this I can run 1440p games at 60-90 fps with a DLSS on Quality with Medium to High graphics
This game unfortunately doesn't run well when most games do
Thank you so much, I have a 6650xt / 5600x
And you increased my fps with this guide from 59-61 to 98-112.
What settings did you change?
@@actu literally the same settings he said to change in the video lol, what kind of question is this
@@Howitzer-Rain One I thought worth asking, incase you tweaked with them aittle and found your own personal taste, I appreciate the response tho
@@actu no, just did what he did, nothing else
Do you play at 1080p or 1440p?
What is the name of that overlay for the performance?
Press f3 in game.
Soo, whats your settings your playing with?
I have a 3070ti
Intel i7 12700h
32 gb of ram
And play at 2560x1600.
I play on Medium and quality upscaling and only get around 70-90 fps. Game feels a little odd to say the least. But recently other games I've been playing have seemingly dropped in FPS as well. So idk whats up.
Maybe you need to clean your computer! The heat of the dust make it drop performance of the hardware! 2 months ago but I hope you can fix by now
Thanks comment section Im running a 3050Ti just glad to know the game is just not optimized well 😮💨.
the game is optimized... is your gpu that sucks
I still think that the game looks great in ultra quality render scale, So that's what I'm using for the extra fps. Thanks for the video! 👍
What if I have a 11th gen intel(r) core(tm) i7-1165g7 and can't change it because its integrated into the motherboard?
you're just stuck with it
Only thing is I do not understand why fullscreen option doesn't work, game just opens in window, probably because my display is 2560x1440 but I open games in 1920x1080 and instead of just opening game in fullscreen why this resulution, it just opens in window and because of that I need to use heavy upscaling :|
Also I don't think on such small maps, even with so many enemies performance of this game would be that bad, I had some massive fights in warframe with so much going on screen and still had stable 60fps on medium and here in Helldivers it is just pain
Alt + enter
I believe thats because this is a DX12 game. If Im not mistaken Fullscreen no longer exists, and anything that offers full screen is just borderless full screen windowed, so you get weird behavior like this.
It's why games run worse. If stuff was true fullscreen then we would get better performance @@Thelgow
And there's me with a 2080 i7 LAPTOP with pretty bad cooling. I have a cooling stand, vent fan and good thermal paste yet have to place an industrial fan facing the bottom of my laptop to not suffocate and die from. 90°. I feel like I just need to save up 1.5k for a desktop
Your wrong about the "Space Quality" preset as well. It's the skybox texture for all the maps. On the ground or in space. It shouldnt affect performance because it's just loading a texture once and sitting there. So it's RAM based.
It definitely affects the framerate
Y dont understand i got a 2070super at 1440p renderation on ultra quality en grafics on medium and the runs at 100fps and you with an rtx 3080ti runs at 70 fps
im playing in 2k on 3060 i5 10400f
I had tweaked all settings, 0 difference but the game stated to look like shit
I turned of anti aliasing - jumped from 49 to 70, but it was too sharp, could see the pixels
Set on quality render and its look ok and now running at 80+
If you could make a video on how to make the game playable on 7000 series GPUs that'd be much appreciated.
is there any way this game will run on 20-25 fps on these:
intel i5 8th gen
gtx 1650
8gb ram
Get more ram
what happens if im only running 30 fps even in the ship running everything on low what should i do?
upgrade your system ;)
What r ur specs
This is probably caused by a bug. I'm having this happen to me inconsistently. Some ppl say it's caused by amount of ship in orbit, but I don't think that's the case, as I've had cases where there are many ships rendered in but no lag.
16gb ram, ryzen 5 4500, NVIDIA RTX 3050. Medium gives me 51 fps, i pull 90/100 on low. staggering difference on my hardware
Would my pc with a rtx2050 and a amd 5 5500H 24g ram run it?
yes
This guide defo doesnt cover most of it.
As you go up in difficulty, the amount of enemies gets drasticly multiplied more and more. The clutter gets mose massive in 1 LOS.
To add to it when they use their attacks whether its lasers rockets or vomit etc, you get really smacked with low fps. So this guide really just shows what his stable fps looks like in a trivial difficulty with nearly or no enemies around. The map is empty mostly. Try what he did on 7 8 or 9.
they mustve done some optimization im running at 10600k with a 3070 ti and run everything on high some on ultra and its 80-90 fps on average @ 1440p
weird
I have found the frames to be wildly inconsistent. A few nights ago I was getting a smooth 60 frames on Performance mode with my gtx 1080, and the game looked great. However when I started playing it last night I couldnt push past 40 frames, even when I lowered my graphical settings to try and squeeze as many more frames as I could. I wish the game had a targeted FPS option, as for some reason even when I put it on Ultra Performance it doesn't actually give me any extra frames, just makes the game look shittier with no benefit. If I could set the game to always do 60 or 90 fps I would. I know COD MW 2 has this setting and it works great.
Same thing happened to me.... It's either the servers can't handle too many players or there is a memory leak...
Btw try playing solo there is a huge difference in fps.
@@dardeb15 I noticed that playing solo REALLY helps with performance. I guess a lot of it is the game rendering three extra characters and all their strategems / weapons / etc.
try dx 11 steam launch command huge fps boost
Thx now my 1050 potato can run the game more smoothly
Got an Ryzen 9 7940HS, RTX 4060, and this game is STRUGGLING on lowest settings. I know laptops "aren't the best" for gaming but man my old i7 10750H, GTX 2060 ran this game amazingly last month. I think during the Bot Invasion, the game somehow got de-optimized.
That's not a very good optimisation guide... you are an a planet without any action, I did the same for my config... I was running at 120fps with a 3080 ryzen 5 5600xt on a planet alone...
When I came back on a planet with other players and more mobs... I dropped down to 60-70fps.
You have to try the settings in different situations
Pretty sure the scaling is fsr 1.0 because of the shimmers that 1.0 gets but it's also the easiest to run
it's not FSR 1, it just lowers the render scale, and i'm guessing the shimmers are just from aliasing since i don't get them with aliasing off with upscaling
@@Moonistic Why would they have the same presets as fsr then and not let the user set custom resolution scale because it is fsr
I have Ryzen 7 5700x with RX 570 8GB and 16GB of RAM. Is this game playable?
Yes on low
I dunno why but with 13700 and 3070ti i have ultra and native i got 75 to 100 fps in game. why is urs so low?
what resolution are you using? he is playing in 1440p
I think they may have improved performance since this video. I have a 7800xt which is supposed to be on-par with 3080 ti but I get much better performance than he is here @ same resolution
Boosted me by 10fps thank you!
Thanks a lot mate.
More than for performance reasons, I have fps drops at any time, which becomes annoying
-use-d3d11 type this in steam launch options and enjoy double the fps
i have a 3080ti and 12700k and i'm getting ~90 fps on 1440p with everything maxed out (resolution scale is at native). i don't know why you're getting 40's and 50's with a better cpu than mine at the same resolution. (cpu is running hella hot tho)
Play with Anti Aliasing and the sharpness filter! i noticed turning aa Off and then set sharpening to 0 creates kindof a AA effect XD
Lol good idea, that’s like an astigmatism simulator
Something’s gotta be wrong if you’re getting 60ish fps on a 3090 ti but good video
I used your settings on my dellg3 i5 limited to 3.4ish ghz, undervolted. Gtx1660ti 6gb and 16 gb of ram. I get 55ish fps high enemy numbers and ultra quality render scale. Around 75-79C. Native around 42-45fps
we have the same gpu, is your terrain rendering right infront of you? grass, rocks, only render on my line of sight. can you lend me a hand?
mm i have the same gpu and get 90 something always at max settings 2k
i think someting is wrong with your rig. i have ryzen 5800x with rtx3070 and get way more fps at 2k aswell...
My 6700k+ RTX 3080 and 16 gb of ram, Playing this 2K with default graphics settings and it absolute gorgeous. It runs 30 fps almost all the time and I feel like I'm playing this game on PS3 💀

I have a pretty strong GPU (RX580) but weak CPU i5 4440 and only 8GB of RAM... do you think I can run this game properly? It's ok to set everything in low, graphic does not matter much for me, as long as the frame rate is stable and no slowdown like playing helldivers 1 on vita.

If you have an Nvidia card you can set max fps in the Nvidia Control Panel. Similar option on AMD as well. Capped mine to 50 fps with Latency Mode set to Ultra. Barely reaches the 70s on a 3060m with this videos graphic settings.
Yes go to Nvidia control panel and set max fps for Global and/or specific games. It's adviced to do that instead of in-game, actually.
or apply vsync
I have an amd card and use MSI afterburner
It's been added now which is cool
I need a 4090 pc right now
I pray to god my gtx 1650 doesn't die😂

Same here, 7800xt at 1440p all settings ultra 70-110
Man Seeing a 13900k with 4800mt/s ram breaks my heart
I made a anti-aliasing mod for the game that makes the AA better.
Worth mentioning that horde shooters are both cpu and gpu demanding, maybe theirs arent hitting that high fps since theyre bottleneck.
A ryzen 3600 bottlenecks a rx 470 at 50hz in this game thats right a r 5 3600 cant even maintain a steady 50hz in this game that has to be a record for incompetenece
@@lukegreen9352 damn, yep thats hella unoptimized. I’m even speculating the Anti-cheat + DRM are hitting the cpu usage.
i have the maximum pre-requisites yet it still runs at 20 fps help.
I got this game. I have a 4090 and i9 chip, along with a really good water cooler. So I install and start the game, and all 3 fans start running loudly (which I have never seen before in any game), and this WAS AT THE MENU SCREEN. During tutorial, my card is slowly getting hotter and hotter. So I start turning down all the graphics settings, and enable sync to 60 fps max. If everything is set to "Medium", the game still runs hot. Something is very wrong with it.
