I'm experiencing exactly that with my gtx1060 as well. And all these people pandering to TFP trying to defend their poorly optimized mess, you're not helping anyone. We need more, loud voices, in order to be heard and see some improvements for everyone.
From the sounds of it i think you'd be a great benefit to the team even if only on a short term contract! If they are interested in getting the game fixed reach out to them, they were hiring not so long ago.
Preaching to the choir
Well 4k for everything else, not so much for A17e at the moment.
In a nutshell the specific issue i and others are trying to highlight!
Basically this is the theme of several who have reported the issue on a variety of setups. It doesn't matter about texture, SSAO etc. even stripped back to the absolute minimum huge fps loss is experienced for no discernible reason. This indicates a bug, it can be sugar coated as some have as 'optimisation' but really it's a bug.<snip>
To be clear here, my PC is clean, latest drivers, no background stuff (except Steam ofc), etc.
I know A16.4 was very different graphically, but I could happily run that with 60+ FPS most of the time on my native resolution with almost max settings, excluding the ones I mentioned earlier.
I can accept the FPS dips if there is a reason for it, like heavy combat in a complex environment. But if just chilling outside a simple house let alone going inside one drops my FPS from the 50s to 20s and no other setting (even textures from full -> quarter) than resolution makes things better, I'd say clearly something is still wrong with the rendering.
...and as I said, I'm just holding up the testing for now. I think history just repeats itself, A16E had performance problems, but stable ran well for me. I see no reason why it wouldn't be the case this time, especially since Madmole said that they are working on optimizations.
But your loud voices need to actually say something. Saying "fps sucks" and providing NO DETAIL is serving no purpose.
...we literally had a tfp tester come and explain things... You even quoted MM where he said more is coming...
@unholyjoe explained his experience and that for him he had to drop from his regular 4k res with a 1080 GTX down to 1080p for it to be playable to a high standard (quality vs fps). At no point did he say he'd reported anything nor was his post anything other than sharing personal experience. At least that is how i saw it regardless of if he is a tester or not. He may have been tasked with testing AI exclusively and another team is handling performance testing so no reason to pass on his experiences.
Excellent glad MSI is now working and helps heaps when troubleshooting issues!
Excuse me?!
For you :drunk:
So the expected result in terms of progress was to get 50%+ performance hit and the intermittent micros shutter of 16.4 turned into constant micro stutter? That is after significant development time since A16 dropped and claims through the A17 hype train that A17 was going to get an uplift of performance due to the new engine improvements and optimisations.
Yeah you're not wrongit says it's running around 40 fps when at 4k but again it's like walking in water. That is not playable Guppy
