[2020] Improving Frames Per Second...


Original Post — Direct link

I have a potentially silly question...

I have a rig determined by the developers to be "Recommended", as shown below. Only thing I don't have is 12 GB Ram, easily fixed I think. I'm getting around 55-60 FPS but it dips down into the 30's frequently (Both old and New Map) on LOW settings for everything. I'm playing on native settings 1680 x 1050.

AMD Ryzen 5 1400 quad-core processor 3.20 GHz with 8GB RAM - 64bit operating system on Windows 10

GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Video Card, 60hz monitor.

My question however, is that I have a monitor probably 4-5 yrs old with a max refresh rate of 60hz. If I buy a new monitor with say a refresh rate of 120 or 144 hz, will I get more than 60 fps? And if I do get more than 60, lets just say 90fps for an arbitrary number, will my FPS scale up and I might perhaps drop 20-30 down to 60fps regular basis? Or will I still drop down to the 30's still?

So if I'm seeing an average drop of 20fps, and I get a higher refresh rate monitor will this help?

Instead of going from 60fps to 40fps, will I go from 144fps down to 124 fps (drop of 20fps in both cases).

Hey there

In the graphics options is a setting to display performance information (detailed) - Can you please run the game and take a screenshot with this mode enabled when you are dipping down. I would guess at your specs you are CPU limited, but the data from the screenshot can help.

Your monitor refresh rate won't make much difference unless you're running with VSYNC on.

thanks

I'm assuming the F12 key from Steam will allow me to take the screen shot?

Additionally, I want to know if I bought a better monitor and ran with Vsync on if that would help or not.

Yes it does and no it won't :)

So interesting thing, i've been running "Basic" options for the performance information and have had my V-Sync off but a cap of 60fps. I turned on "Detailed" performance information and I set the cap to 120 on FPS and reached all the way up to 90 or so, but was decenton both the Test Server and Regular server between 45-70 or so. It did dip into the low 40's and mid 30's and turned yellow briefly with "detailed" options on.

I'm afraid i get so dang immersed in the game. It's extremely hard to pay attention to the "testing" when you're so intently focused on all the visual and audio cues. I had to go back in on the Test server and just run buck wild trying to see as much as possible just to get some screen captures. Hell even on the test server I can't turn off the "on edge" awareness that seems required in order to survive!

I snapped a bunch of pics and even a video, how would you like me to get them to you? I will upload one here, but have a bunch more, as I just paid attention to the testing and snapped a pic anytime it dipped yellow.

Yea, so...this might sound silly as well but how do I post a picture to Reddit? I'm having trouble finding the "submit link" or picture button. I've posted the URL below...hope that works.

Thanks - You can send them to me on Discord or upload the videos somewhere (youtube would be good). I'll be around later today so just feel free to drop any info there and I'll have a look
