Hi folks, was wondering if you'd be able to ball-park the performance I should get because I'm not sure I've got it fully optimised. I running a older gen i7 3770 with a Amd r9 290 4g card, 16g memory and a solid state drive. Running at 1680*1050 with all settings at low except textures (high) and model quality ( medium) and I'm ok up to about 48vs48 fights, but much bigger and I'm down to 40-45 frames and it's distracting from the experience. So anyone with similar kitt tell me what I should get frames wise and maybe share any optimisation tips I would be gratefull
I've browsed a countless number of this kind of thread. There are no guarantees that I can recommend based on product specifications. All that I can recommend are the usual tricks we employ to increase frame speed; and, even there, the only trick that always works is lowering shadow quality.
Just turn of shadow quality, and set render distance to 500, also if not way to picky u can reduce effect quality to low, those 3 options are kinda the only demanding ones, u can keep rest on ultra ( unless you play on laptop )
Cheers for the input; have turned off shadows and will try dropping render distance a bit, not sure about as low as 500 but i'll experiment.
The problem is normally that the game is very CPU intensive in large fights and changing graphics options doesn't do much to help or hurt frames. If you have a K on the end of your CPU number it would probably be relatively easy to overclock it and get better frames. Anyway, check the cooling and temperature on your CPU to make sure it isn't overheating and not running at the proper turbo speed. I feel like your frames should be higher than that with that CPU.
Damn son, I got roughly 30 FPS in large fights... With a Pentium g3460. Now running an i5 4440 and never go below 60FPS. Shadows are off, graphics are at high (not maximum), my graphics card is a GTX960, in the 4GB variant and with an overclock to roughly 1350 MHz, and my RAM is 12GB of dual-channel 1600MHz DDR3. OS is Win10. Are you, by any chance, running superfluous stuff in the background? My only background stuff is the utility software for Intel Rapid Storage, the Telegram chat client, Microsoft's built-in antivirus, Onedrive's client, the Realtek software, Recursion and occasionally Discord.
And definitely they should be higher... I vvould be getting 60 fps and I vvould be limiting them to 60 so I don't get disturbed vvith the change.
not all people can see above 30fps, very few can see at or above 60fps. that in itself is reason enough to cap any game at 60fps to save system resources.
It's a myth that the human eye has a frame rate. We take in a constant stream of information and our brain somehow tries to bodge it into an image in our minds that is useful and makes sense. Some motion you cannot perceive as not fluid at 20fps and other motion might seem jerky at 120fps. FPS use a lot of fast panning from left to right with no motion blur which is very sensitive information to our brains which seems like it is missing information to us at low frames even if it's on the edge of perception. This makes sense if you think of evolution where we need to scan our environment in the wild very accurately for threats.
Thanks all for comments/advice. I have opened her up and she was dusty as a tomb all over my fans/sinks etc; so have had a good clean out and removed some background programs too. After bench marks on AID64 or whatever its called It seems to suggest I'm running in the right ball-park for my kit now. After a good run last night I have improved it somewhat; now only dropping in the 96+ on each side fight's, and usually omly dipping to 50-55 at lowest with the occasional 45 fps, not great but I'm a bit happier; will ask a more knowledgeable comrade if he can find any drains on the system I may have missed.
With my current rig, I used the following instructions to take advantage of my LightBoost monitor to eliminate motion blur. Depending upon the fight, I'm seeing smooth animations between 120fps-160fps running at 120hz. Blur Busters: LightBoost HOWTO Alien Ship Blur Test
No, there's cutoff thresholds for horizontal movements depending on refresh rates. For example, movies run at 24FPS and any kind of moderately fast horizontal pan turns into mush. For some strange reason, many movies do it anyway and thus show off a mushed up environment that you can barely perceive. In a game like PS2, the difference between 60 and 120FPS is massive when an enemy pops up around a corner. It's the difference between seeing them appear after two frames or after one frame, which can mean an additional bullet in your head or theirs. Plus, games are interactive. I got a 144Hz monitor and it's worth it just for having the mouse cursor feel more responsive. It's like the distance from your brain to the computer has been lowered.
The limitation is not your i7 3770, 16gb or ram, your LGA1155 motherboard or SSD. It's 100% your graphics card. Get at GTX 1080 ti and you can run 120hz at 2560x1440 with your current configuration. I've run PS2 at 2560x1400 at @120hz for 5 years now and hold a solid 120 fps that drops down to 80's in big battles with a CPU that was one step below yours. I7-2600K with 16gb ram and SSD. The Key is the Graphics card. I was using a GTX 690, then a GTX 1080 in the video below and now a GTX 1080 ti. This was recorded at 2560 res but I think youtube downconverted it to 1080. I run all the setting at high or max but turn shadows off as they are distracting.
You're sort of right. Cells in the eye that transduce photon stimulation into an electrical signal that then travels through the optic nerves have upper limits to how fast they can change based on the photon stimulation. You will eventually reach a point where the cells just can't physically keep up with how fast the image is changing.
PS2 isn't a graphically intensive game and he is only running at 1680*1050, the R9 is not the best but it should still be plenty to keep a high frame rate.(At least it keeps his room warm ) Also you have a k processor - overclocked ? Granted the 1080ti is an absolute beast but the OP should look around for other suggested configs before sinking a ton of cash into one (there have been plenty posted over the years and like others have said, increasing some options can help). PS2 performance tuning is a bit of voodoo magic, trial and error with a good dollop of luck. Turning off shadows seems to be one of the few options that everyone agrees will help.
