@TheDutchTexan Quick update, SSD running to full manufacturer specs of around 540 read (Crucial 1tb SSD sata)

Tried a few settings and looks like resolution scaling or FSR makes zero difference.

One thing to note, my GPU goes to 99% utilization on the startup menu with just a planet in the background? Really? 99% to render that? What do you get on the menu on the 6800?

GPU usage drops in game to 5% when i open the settings menu.

Are you running SSDs too? The game is heavily dependent on CPU vs GPU it seems. Perhaps try MSI afterburner to see what is happening, is your CPU maxed out / running hot or is your GPU not keeping up? You are above the minimum spec with the GPU just like I am so I am puzzled

Thanks for replying.

So the CPU is running around 35-40% load which is why i simply cannot understand the lag.

I think you might be onto something with the SSD comment, it is running on an SSD but i could pursue that direction and maybe find something, if its running slow / has outdata controller drivers this could be an issue.

Ill run some SSD speed tests and play with some drivers see what i find and report back, thanks man.

Hey!

I found your youtube video as i am struggling to get this game running about 26 - 30 FPS with as far as i can see a similar rig.

I have a 4790k (i have not overclocked it) and a 6700 XT

The game does not run well even at the very start in the caves. I have been testing indoors in the area that the miners would change clothes (very start of the game) and i get 30 FPS standing still and 23 if i turn my head, i can only imagine in a city it would be 5-10.

Turning the settings down to low with motion blur off etc and 50% render scale means i get 39fps looking at the floor, anything else drops dramatically.

Have you got any tips for how maybe i can get a solid 30-40+ so i can actually play the game?

Thanks!
