Insane GPU usage in Emerald Dream

[Bakicaa-kilrogg]

Only 90 fps, while over here I’m dropping down to 1 fps going into superbloom, or killing a mob with a few more players, for whatever reason

If you set your FPS limit to uncapped then you will get limited by something in your system, otherwise you would get ∞FPS.

Yeah but I’m not having it uncapped, my refresh rate is 120 is it’s capped at 117 for freesync to work properly, but the issue was the GPU was being overwhelmed in the new zone for no apparent reason and with much worse performance due to the GPU load.

I know this is a “flex” post, trying to show off your rig… But to anyone curious, this is how you “fix” the FPS issue.

It’s not… It’s literally pointless talking about performance issues if I don’t specify the hardware and the performance I’m getting. The increased GPU load caused by liquid details in Emerald Dream would have just as big of an impact if I had a 3060 Ti and was playing at 1080p, next time imma just lie to avoid useless comments and remarks.

The game is still a stutterfest at points even on high-end systems.
It’s much worse if you are running at high refreshrates because you are way more sensible to a spike in frametime than you would be at 60 FPS or even 30.

Yep but no point talking about it here, half the people hate on you if you’re getting better performance and half can’t even see constant stuttering and CPU bottlenecks before their eyes. Valdrakken is still a joke a year later, flying over the city or just participating in large events and world boss fights with more than 40 people strangles your CPU to death.

This is the one thing an MMO should nail, large scale events and fights. If we had insane scale stuff with like 200-300 people then I would understand, but top of the line CPUs getting destroyed by 40-50 people at one spot is embarrassing.

I play on a 1060 and do just fine
