Game Performance

(ClemClem7) #1

I open a new thread because it’s not the same performance issue than other threads about the same subject.

For about a week I play with better performance than before (approximately mid September)

Before this time, I ran the game at approximately constant 30fps with little fluctuations of about 4 fps. Sometimes I ran the game at 40-50 fps but that was very rare.

Now, I run it at 70fps, with big drop to 19fps.

Idk if there has been any big update about performance, but iirc, this update (summer squash part 3) is not yet updated.

Someone has the same “problem” ? (better performance, bit higher drop of fps)

I didn’t do any change in my config (minimal to low settings, no change in file shooter.ini)

I had this issue awhile back and it was caused by overheating. Maybe you are seeing something similar?

I used to play all day in graphic intensive games and this has never been an issue. My GPU is always at nominal temps (not overclocked, but the driver dynamically ramps up GPU clock speeds under load).

My game stutters and becomes impossible to play as frame rate drops from 210fps down to just 1.

My temporary solution is to shut down the game and restart. Once the map loads again, I get back to the smooth 190-210fps.

The garbage collection is garbage and needs collection.

Well that is wonderful for you, but DB isn’t a gpu intensive game. It is a CPU intensive game. If you are getting issues in DB and are only looking at your GPU specs I would suggest taking a look at your CPU as well.

So how much intensity does DB require from Intel i7-6700K @ 4GHz? That’s a 4 core, 8 Thread processor.

Did the minimum hardware specification just went up with the Squash III update? Can you please elaborate what it’s doing?

I couldn’t tell you what is happening in every specific instance of stuttering or dropped frames. I can tell you that looking at your GPU is likely not going to be as helpful as lookin at your CPU because of the games significantly heavier reliance on it.

Well that’s really speculative then. If you have a look at the picture I have linked, it takes 859.27ms to paint the entire frame whereas previously, it took less than 3.8ms to get the same job done. Further, with an i7-6700K running at factory speeds, I don’t expect any issues at all for UE3.

In the same regard, id’s DOOM is S T U N N I N G using Vulkan. So, I think it’s neither a hardware issue, nor a UE3 engine platform fault.
