i struggled with fps even though am running 2080 super - i9 cpu
what fixed fps for me was
changing NVidia settings to run preformance over quality [its just a slider you move from quality which is set by default to performance]
and also i been using NVidia profile inspector for extra crispy sht graphics to maintain fps …
it sucks the games looks sht but hey atleast i have constant good fps now
He never actually specified 1080. I wonder if he’s running 4k or something.
yeah that engine was extremely bad
i know its an old chip. i know its gonna produce lower fps. not 20 fps doing WT though, thats the games fault. not to mention utilization is horrible and gpu isnt throttling from cpu anyway, im directly watching its clock in game.
I’ve been trying to pinpoint this issue.
From my research, it’s a driver issue or shader issue.
Freshly installed drivers, after DDU (completely removed old version), game runs flawless for 5-8 hours. It’s a slow downhill from there, eventually it becomes out of sync. Animations do not match there sounds.
2nd problem, unrelated, there’s massive frametime drops and client stuttering that even Gsync cannot smooth over. Most noticeably when respawn structures are built in OPR and after many HeartGem vines have been used
Sometimes it stays 60+ but that also differs from town to town, depending there the war is. Even with a 1070 on 1080p you are just fine if you have good cpu. Wars and oprs are massive cpu bottle neck and that’s why you see your gpu’s not getting utilised. That’s what mmos are! Best cpu on the market won’t get you 100 fps in war when you are fighting around the point. In fort before the war starts you can still hit 180+ As soon as many players are in the same place just look at your gpu utilisation going down and even if you don’t see much cpu utilisation that’s the real bottle neck in NW. 5800x3d XFX 7900 xtx here with 32gb ram 3200 CL16. Good side of having x3d cpu is your ram speed doesn’t matter as much.
yeah my fiance has a 1070 and it runs fine for her about identical to mine because we have similar cpus. but as i said above, this is due to the way their renderer is constructed and it truly does need to be fixed. i doubt they ever will which is a shame, they will keep the game hanging on by a limb until more modern cpus enter the general circulation and the problem is fixed through brute force.
I tried the game both with a AMD 580 4GB and a 6600XT 8GB. The memory on the card affect a lot the performance.
But I think most of this game impact it is the processor, the processor that the developers recommends is a 2500K or a 1600 ryzen, which will not make pass the 20-25 FPS on High PPL Pvp Content (WARs and even some OPRs)
my i7 4790K read your post and now is cryin out a loud to I do not dispose he
I just swapped over from 4790 to Ryzen 5800x … do the swap mate… just for other games in general
I am running a 12900K on 5.2Ghz and a 3080.
Fps every where is very high, true.
But not in wars. In the clumps (and while recording) it drops to below 50 sometimes
So yeah that IS an issue.
For me it still works, its playable. But there are other people who can barely play.
Yeah its CPU in towns/wars/crowded places for sure.
Noticed that with 5800x3d paired with 4090. GPU usage would be 90-95% out of town, when you go in town GPU usage drops to 40-50% and FPS goes to half of what it was outside.
With 7950x3d, I can run inside Windsward full of players and GPU usage is at 92-100% all the time mostly 100%. And FPS of course stays around 110-120fps in town 
it was never this high in town with 5900x and 5800x3d that I used before.
Basically get the best CPU around and pair it with MED+ class GPU and you are fine in this game.
Your settings at bare minimum? I keep mine at Medium and barely reach 144 FPS.
Most on high and few on very high. Only shadows are lowered because as soon as I make them higher my gpu utilisation goes down and cpu bottle neck for some reason. On 4K it’s pure gpu but on my 3440x1440 it’s still not. Wars I just put on low with few exceptions
imagine they ditched theyre sh1tty engine and moved NW to UE5 it would instantly make the game so much better
that would obviously be extremely hard, they would be remaking the game entirely. BUT they CAN improve the renderer and implement vulkan/dx12 api. it is SO necessary. The fact they are trying to make a game with these graphics without it is a glaring example of their priorities and my purpose in this thread is to highlight that fact.
Since I don’t PvP, are the problems with FPS all based on doing PvP?
I ask as I do PvE and find that I am getting on average 97-102fps most of the time with High Settings.
It will drop during world tours, gathering elite chests with like 50+ people from elite strongholds, but everyone spam kills everything so fast it wont matter. But you may lag in town as well ofc.
Can confirm this.
Currently using a GTX 2060 - Ryzen 7 5800x and I play the game on Medium, 60 FPS solid everywhere.
Honestly couldn’t recommend Ryzen enough for anyone needing a strong CPU. Even their 6 cores run New World just as good.
