hey there!

maybe some1 can help me... i just dont get it why but my performance is so crap but it shouldnt be... my specs are i5-2500 @ 3,3 ghz, gtx550ti 2gb, 8 gb ram...
i only get 20 fps in menu when on native res and gets unplayable ingame, and when playing on 1280x720 i cant even get a constant 40 fps... i thought its the beta but now on release nothing changed in the performance for me
anybody else having this issue?

thanks anyways

    1280x720 everything off? or atleast ambient oclusion off?

    Interesting, I have almost the same exact specs, right down to the Graphics Card. The only differences are that my processor is the i5-2400 and is running at 3.1 Ghz and I play in 1280x1024. I am also having some similar issues with FPS drops. I do maintain 45-60 in menus but in game it can sometimes fluctuate badly.

    Also, Ambient Oclusion is off.

    @ goblin, yeah nearly everything is off, ambient occlusion is off since a half year xD
    but i dont get it how people with lower specs can get decent fps at 1920x1080 while i cant even play it at 1280x720

    First steps to try:
    - Disable or set to minimum all graphics options except for texture streaming and multicore rendering
    - Run in fullscreen instead of windowed or fullscreen windowed
    More advanced steps:
    - Disable EIST and C1E in your bios or via a program like <a href="http://www.tweakers.fr/cputweaker.html" target="_blank">http://www.tweakers.fr/cputweaker.html</a> (essentially, this will stop your computer from downclocking when idle and has been known to reduce performance in NS2 when on).

    i think it's the most your cpu+memory can get.
    some overclocking would help (has some risk)
    screenshot of net_stats command could give more info.

    yep, your cpu can't give more fps.

    "12ms waiting for GPU"
    Means your CPU is waiting for your GPU to finish stuff.

    It seems like you have not disabled shadows yet. This is one of the most performance reducing settings.

    actually it doesnt matter whats turned off and on, i only won 5 fps with everything turned off (except ambient occlusion), the resolution is ###### up everything somehow

    im guessing youve tried different video card drivers? even roll back to older ones to see if there's a difference?

    lowest settings - native res

    the thing that is pissing me off that i meet the requirements and i cant even play it on lowest settings on 1920x1080.... and that i know people who have lower specs than me getting better performance...

    @magicmango, yeah i did still the same :(

    nope, i have same gpu delay with i7-3770k and gtx670.

    you can see choke > 0, and prediction frames < 6-7, those are signs that cpu is full.

    actually, your fps is quite playable without major frustration, versus i had when i bought beta and had p4-3ghz and nvidia 7300gt :)


    edit:
    actually, it's gpu/memory bottleneck when things get hot at endgame.

    Turn down your resolution. Keep turning it down until ms Waiting For GPU is 0. Then see what your FPS is.

    @Dominick:

    Type "profile" in the console (~) and then press the spacebar to pause it in place, then click the plus signs on the top most items that have the largest purple bars, until you cant open the tree any further.
    This will expose what is taking your GPU so long to render and would be useful info to know in a screenshot posted here.

    then ofc your system specs / dxdiag report would be very helpful.
    Thanks!

    It appears that you are using AA

    Try to disable everything in the NVidia Control Panel

    This solved all my performance problems. My CPU had nothing to do with it.
