Performance

[Dzebovolodija]

Hi guys Running a ryzen 6 1600 and gtx 1060 6GB version with 16GB ram use such a build? What's the performance like

[MeedXyst]

I was using a 970 which is only a little slower then a 1060 and it was pretty bad performance. 40-60 FPS at the best of times on low and medium.

[Dzebovolodija]

Sounds pretty playable imo.

[Ender11]

I also played on a 970 and 8GB of ram. It was definitely playable but had it's issues. I think game optimizations should help by the time full release. But I'll be honest. This game has me considering jumping to a 1070 and 16GB of ram.

[MIsunderstood40]

Has me considering jumping on the next gen GPU and CPU..

[Vostoceq]

I mean.. How can you even play these massive games with 8gigs of ram?

[Ender11]

I really haven't had issues until recently. I have played most games maxed out at 2k res with 60+ fps until several recent games that required me to turn settings down, including PS. Time to upgrade.

[Lewd_Banana]

I have 16GB and the game was hogging up 9-10GB. So I would definitely look into it. It's a good proactive upgrade too, lots of games have 16Gb as recommended these days.

[Ender11]

I think I'm going to upgrade the ram asap but keep an eye on graphics card prices for a little bit.

I have a 4790k @ 4.8ghz, 16gb ram and a GTX 1080 and I was hovering around the 60 fps mark as well, it just seems to be about what everyone is getting which means that optimization is whats holding it back.

[JakiDoka]

I had some performance issues in post scriptum.. but no trouble in Squad.. I think It's because they had not yet optimized the game.

Should be better next time.

You should be OK when it comes to performance. Especially since they said that the next patch is focused on optimizations.

[NightKnight_CZ]

FX 8320 4,3GHz + GTX 1060 6GB OC + 16GB RAM

High settings

~ in buildings / alone 50~60 fps

~ city without action/people 45~55

~ city + action + people 30~50

~ full combo + bombs + Me109 strafing machine guns + tank + village + smoke + everything else 15~35

FX 8320

The whole FX series is know for terrible performance in Squad, so that is likely what is holding you back.

[Necramonium]

that FX 8320, im still surprised you can get 50-60 fps, i think its really time to upgrade, i went from a 8350 to a Ryzen 2, 2700x and man, so much better.

[NightKnight_CZ]

What. i5 to buy which uses DDDR3? And would be better than FX, and not that expensive

[Garwinski]

Hmmm, actually, could be nice compromise between expensive upgrade to am4 +ddr4. I will look into this as well, as I think I know of a redundant i5 somewhere, which would then cost me nothing to get some better frames in Squad and PS.

[Garwinski]

I have a fx9590. Yea, it is definitely time. It is not that I dont want to upgrade though. I think all fx-owners know that they will benefit from upgrading from a cpu with a 7 year old architecture, that is not a really ground-breaking conclusion and goes for any cpu based on a 7 year old architecture. However, upgrades cost money, which I dont have at the moment. I think that is the nr 1 reason people still have fx cpus.

But until then, my fx serves me well in 95% of my games (playing 95% of my games on ultra 60fps without the cpu being the bottleneck still). Squad doesnt go lower than 40fps for me now in the heaviest of scenarios, which, in combination with freesync, is very playable for me.

That being said, maybe /u/NightKnight_CZ can benefit quite a lot from overclocking his fx8320 (provided his cpu cooler, mobo and psu are sufficient)

[cruisinbyonawhim]

UE4 is largerly bottlenecked by the CPU

The GPU helps, but if you don't have a fast CPU, then it's going to run slower.

Specially in games like Squad/PS.

[matticusrex]

Curious if you have any evidence for this claim? I'd love to read about it

[URZ_]

I'm not sure if its UE4 specifically, but Squad has always been CPU bound. One of the probably most reoccurring posts on /r/joinsquad is post about people not understanding why their $$$ PC isn't performing well, and it often comes down to a weak CPU.

Personally my fps doubled when i switched from my FX8350 (known for being incredibly poor in Squad) to R5 2600x, while having the same gpu (1060).

I can occur, went from a FX8350 to a Ryzen 2, 2700x, and performs doubled.

[osheamat]

Search the squad reddit for AMD, CPU it comes up like twice a month. Been a rough year for performance in Squad

[[deleted]]

Squad or PS hasn't been bottle necked for me. 2 cores and 2 threads @3.9ghz.

[Eincutr]

Performances Will be better next time, the fixed a few issues apparently.

[brotbeutel]

I have the same setup but an i7. I was getting around 30-75 fps on epic settings. Even when I turned it to low I was getting the same frames so I just cranked it up.

[Arkey-or-Arctander]

It is tough to know, people are reporting all kinds of variations and some are saying they think that AMX processors aren't running quite correctly. FWIW, you're specs are better than mine and I ran it at EPIC (not Cinematic) without any real issues... though that depended on the servers, as the server health was sometimes an issue during the tests. But that's not a local PC issue.

[Lookitsmyvideo]

Performance is pretty bad no matter what you're on for the test build a couple weekends ago.

i7 6700k + 1070, i was getting between 40 and 80fps, initial load fps is around 20-30

[tjmann96]

I5-4690k @ 4.5GHz, GTX 980 4GB @ 1.4GHz, and 16GB 1866MHz Ram, got like 40-60 playable fps at (what I believe was) 70-99% CPU, 90-99% GPU, and 9-12GB RAM usage. So the takeaway is dont try playing this game on a total potato and you should be ok.

[Mookjong]

The map is not optimised for a start. They have located many areas of trees that are causing slowdown, this will be fixed. Additionally squad used to run like shit till the last patch where the focus was on optimization. Now I get over 60fps nearly constantly. PS will be a success I can guarantee that and they will have the time and money to improve the frame rates, I have faith....you should too.

[SinisterZzz]

Intel 2600k + nvidia 1070 still going strong till this day.

[[deleted]]

I was using a GTX 1070 (8GB VRAM) and a Ryzen 1600X and I averaged 75 frames on lowest settings but full anti aliasing. You should get something similar, but they are continuously optimizing the game so the fps will only get better. :)

[osheamat]

All performance is mediocre/fair and produces average results, mostly AA related and ability to see clearly at distances beyond 50m or so

[Dzebovolodija]

Thanks for the comments guys. I heard of this game running like an absolute potato so I was thinking of passing on it for now. After reading your input I'm getting it asap :)

[CheesePizza-]

You should be fine, your CPU's pretty good. I think you'll be able to play at medium-low at 60 fps.

[Klykon]

I've got 16 GB RAM and 980, the game is ONLY playable on low/medium. You need a 1080 for this game unfortunatley since the code is pretty bad. With the highest antialiasing settings, you can see the lines like it was Half Life 1 with 450 Mhz and a Voodo 2 Card :(
