Hardware Usage + Some technical and config-specific questions


(k0k0nat) #1

While dirty bomb was running with around 30FPS last year on my old Setup ( AMD X3 440 and a AMD 6850 OC ), I currently have good FPS.

Since i had a chat with Rex about his Uber-PC, I wondered how Dirty Bomb addresses CPU/GPU/RAM and if overclocking/SLI/RAM would affect the FPS-Rate.

Im now using following specs:

i7 2600 (non k) @ 3,4Ghz
GTX 770 Windforce OC Edition
12GB RAM ( I guess its DDR 1333)

I always run around with 80 - 130 FPS, depending on how much players and Line of Sight.

( Settings = everything low/disabled @ 1280x800 )
Now I got curious and looked up how hard my hardware works and I was suprised:

GPU is working with 26% Load-Out ( According to MSI-Afterburner)
And also my cpu-usage is just around 25-30% ( According to HWInfo)

Yes, yes I know that DB is far away from technical optimization but still I wonder how many FPS/CPU / GPU - Load people with UBER-SYSTEM have.
Does a stronger GPU/CPU even affect the FPS at the moment?


Part 2:

I am playing with 120hz + Lightboost on + I would like to have 120FPS stable.
Is there a command to lock FPS @ 120 Frames or do I have to use third party software like Rivatuner ( worked for Titanfall )?

Can you name the TOP 10 Commands that increase the FPS?
I downloaded almost every FPS Config here, but I never was pleased with the video-quality ( Washed-Out Textures + Its even harder to spot players ).
Since I am not really into UE3 and tweaking commands I just play around with some commands :confused:

I am also very interested in this. Thanks

I get between 90 and 350 fps with everything on low. About 99% of the time the fps is above 130+ fps. Cpu usage is between 60-80%. GPU usage between 60-90%.

When I put everything on max GPU usage is 100% and I get a stable fps between 80-100.

Anyway. With your resolution the cpu becomes the bottleneck, because your GPU is way to powerfull for 1280x800.

Btw you can monitor your cpu usage with msi afterburner as well, so you only need one program running.

is that on an empty server?

No, it was on a server with 5 players. 300+ fps only happens in small areas. Such as stairs or small rooms.

Tonight I will post some screenshots of gpu/cpu usage and fps on a full server.

Nice CFG do you do anything special to it? I love the no detail in the walls!!
Lodbias 2 I think right?
Because Lodbias -2 is high detail?

Okay, tested it on a full server with the map trainyard running.

Fraps results:

Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg
15236 120000 90 193 126.967

CPU usage between 35-60%
GPU usage between 40-60%

No, it’s just everything on low in the menu and compression from uploading the picture.
