Frame drops vs GPU load !?

Post by W1der »

Why is it that I have FPS below 60 but still my GPU seems to be "chilling out" ...

I sort of expect it to start working harder to compensate for this ... but the load seems to be pretty stable no matter what ... :hmm:

I am having the same issue... also with i7 6700k and GTX 1070. GPU load never reaches 100% also CPU sitting around 15-25% load so it's not bottleneck. FPS drops in very random places it is definitely not a hardware issue. CPU temp sits around 45-50c GPU around 55-60c so no issue here either... Developers should look this up.

In the game.xml there is a line like this ...

Code: Select all

 <gpuPerformanceClass>auto</gpuPerformanceClass>
Auto !?

And the "blue Line" (VRel) ?
Do I need a better power supply?

My very basic understanding on VRel is that it signifies the maximum, reliable voltage that your card can take. In other words, it's not a problem, but in order to send more power to it you'll need to overclock it to get it more. I'm not recommending that you do that, but I THINK that that's what that means.

Looking at your other specs, it really seems that you card is just loafing along. Unless I'm misreading it, you've got a LOT of headspace there. Not that it helps, but mine does the same. The game is poorly optimized.

I saw that but have not yet tried it. I can say that, on my system at least, putting V-Sync on fast (schnell) causes all sorts of problems. In fact, turning V-Sync to anything but "on" either in Nvidia or in the game makes it all worse. I'll give the rest of it a go, though.

For those who are experiencing the stuttering, how is the antialiasing or the jaggies? My system is a 6 year old i5 system, but the video card is EVGA's SC 1060. I have the settings set up so that the stuttering is almost non-existent, but the antialiasing is not the greatest. As was previously stated, the game engine needs more work.

It seems normal to me.

Also, if you needed a new PSU it would show by sudden rebooting because it lacks power.
