What sort fps people were getting playing this? I would thought i could run the game at ultra with no dips but i am getting in populated areas.

In heavily populated area I got around 55 fps on average (meaning some places it could go as low as 51 occasionally), mostly though it stayed in the 59-60 range.

What @cucker tarlson said is correct. This game put a good load on all 8 threads, so there was always the momentary adjustment in highly-populated areas. Mostly though, having my cpu running at 4.2 was the reason it pushed through quickly.

Ryzen + Vega + DX11, that's probably the reason.
When the fps dips in populated or dense housing, do you see the GPU usage stay same or go lower ?

Recent ubisoft games like watch_dogs 2 or wildlands have amazing looking open world, but they just slaughter cpus. Not only do they need at least 8 threads, they require fast single core and ram at the same time.

I've not seen my GPU usage exceed 90% tbh playing Origins which maybe means there is a bottleneck? Hovers around 30-90% range and average is about 50-70 fps range but do see dips below 40.

Rainbow Six Siege i've seen the GPU usage going at 99% but other games its never exceeded 90%, i dunno if its because i'm playing on 1080p or there is a bottleneck.

FF15 benchmark does make usage 99% and other benchmarks.

Decided to start a new Battlezone 98 Redux play through last night, damn I forgot how fun that game was, and how easy it is to make the wrong decision which can totally screw up the rest of a mission! Makes you pay attention, but the game plays smooth, looks good and is stable, or it has been for me. It is also a huge touch of nostalgia every time I play the campaign since I used to play it back in the late 90s. Figured I'd better get a play through of it done before I pick up Battlzone: Combat Commander (BZ 2 remaster).

Ill will try to get some screenshots in diff areas along with fps count when i get home but i have vsync on and i rarely see bad spikes on the fps

Started FF VII once again and streamed 5hrs. Overrated game IMO these days, of course a good game but still overrated.

That made me a FF fan 19 years ago when I played it on Easter 1999. :love:

You're not gonna see a dip with a 7700K and DDR4 3000 feeding a 1070. His configuration is just very,very unbalanced, he's rocking a Vega 64 card with ryzen and ddr4 2400 so he gets bottlenecked at 1080p.

He should get an 8600K with DDR4 3000 or faster/ get a 1440p monitor.

On my list...
A Story About My Uncle (totally impulse to start this, didn't even realize it was Coffee Stain Studio of Sanctum and Goat Simulator)
Space Engineers (have a pretty good ground game, time to work on space)
Payday 2 (want Ace XXV)
X: Rebirth (already played but replaying to get full enjoyment out of the updates and Home of Light which I haven't)
Shoppe Keep (need to enable barbarians yet)

I’m looking forward to it too! Wishlisted on GOG also, instead of Steam. I’m going to wait and see how the devs did on it though, before buying.

I like the "MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. 30 days coverage after purchase. " on GoG... I may pony up as soon as it releases, just because I really enjoyed those....

Thinking of trying Fortnite. A friend of mine recommended it to me. I will have to see what all of the fuss is about.

Since when does ram speed make such huge difference in games? Maybe back in DDR2 but not today in my opinion, the real-world difference is very small, i will be looking at upgrading to 2666mhz when ram prices gets better but that's not because of how system performs as it runs really well. Obviously the vega64 running at 1080p is silly i'll admit to that and will be looking at 1440p 120-144hz freesync monitor in future, however its finding one thats not super expensive.

EzioAs · Apr 7, 2018

A bit off topic but I don't really want to open a new thread, so is there anyone interested in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided or Mafia III + DLC? I've got the keys from Humble and I just thought I'd give them away to anyone interested.

1 key per user, first come first serve. Just quote this post and the game you're interested and I will give the keys as soon as I can.

Since the times a CPU is required to play a game. And no, V64 at 1080p is not silly, it's what people who prioritize gameplay smoothness over resolution choose.

I'm not gonna get sucked into this again, I've had to explain that to people a dozen times and I'm tired of it. Here are some sources you can get pertinet information from, if you choose to ignore them in favour of people who test ram in gpu bound scenes,like the majority of those who say ram speed doesn't matter do, then it's up to you.

or my own findings about high speed,low latency L4 cache serving as buffer between L3 and RAM

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...c-edrams-impact-on-gaming-performance.236514/

Wasn't trying start argument, i can understand where you're coming from in terms of my ram being weakest. Yes intel core performance is always going to be better we all know that, but saying ryzen paired with vega64 is not good enough is ridiculous. Bottlenecking the gpu, yeah maybe it is as many reviews overclock the 1600 to 4ghz for their benchmarks,i haven't done any overclock yet as i don't see need for it just yet, but i may consider it.

Getting below 40 fps drops on Vega 64 at 1080p is not normal either when rtwjunkie gets +50 fps on 980Ti paired with 3770K.
If you can overclock you ryzen and memory you'll certainly see an improvement.
