Not PC gaming in general, but DRM-ridden, unoptimized, rushed games from specific AAA developers. There are many very good looking, super optimized games on the market, most from smaller studios.
Just avoid these soulless, unoptimized garbage. There is a lot of great indie games, solid modern releases and remasters/remakes or just classic games that looks and plays gorgeous on modern PC in 4K and high framerate.
I'm also thinking of changing my hobby or switching to a PS5. This can no longer be ignored. First thing: DLSS. Nice technology, but even after 5 years it doesn't work properly in all games. Unreal Engine 5 but the game looks like a 5 year old game. Crysis Remastered or maybe even Warzone 2 on ultra is nicer than this. I knew from the first launch of a game or a video that it was going to be Unreal Engine, so it was going to run horribly. Last year I had a 3070 DLSS 1440P and wanted 144FPS everywhere. Now I have a 3080 native 1440P where I reduced the requirements to 120FPS and I can't even move at 100FPS stably. The golden year 2019/2020 was full of games and there was a lot to play. This year it's just shit after shit. But here at least you can see how everyone is manipulating us. Why is the game running the way it is running, because the RTX 4000 is already here and especially the nonsense called DLSS frame generation...
@@-Rizecek- PS5/Xbox Series X|S use AMD APU setups. 6700/6700XT-esque GPUs with 3700x CPU's. And guess what? 24GB RAM with something like 16GB of that being dedicated VRAM. Could be 12GB, I can't remember. But Nvidia people keep on buying these 8GB VRAM cards for some reason. And you call us fanboys. It's just logic.
game is badly optimised. i play it on a 4090 and a 5900x with 16gig of ram screen 3440x1440. doesnt matter what you do there will always be little stutters in certain moments. For some reason i cant choose fullscreen because there isnt a 3440x1440 choice in fullscreen. max choice in full is 2560x1440. when i choose windowed a can choose 3440x1440Just had the first fight with sandrak, and damn that takes a lot of gpu. Whole game runs ok with some loading stutters. But that fight was extreem load on my 4090oc on max settings. CRAZY
Thanks for making the vid for us. Its great & detailed. I got I7-10700kf. 3060ti. 32GB ram. 75 inch 4k tv. Game installed on mechanical 4th drive, not ssd OS drive. This vid is made in the wrong place in the game to test these settings. Play the damn game & not just stay in dark area. Go topside in the game where its bright & colorful. Test weapons & combat. Move around ffs. Im getting 55-60 fps with all on ultra/max settings with amd fsr 3 & frame generation on a 3060ti. Be better if dlss didnt tank fps. Knocks 20 fps off. Stuttering is alot better then on low. Game is not optimized for fps higher than 30. Max 60 fps on a 4k tv is wicked & more then I expected.
out of video memory is a known UE5 issue with cpu instabilities (common with 13th/14th gen intel). Only solution is running rated spec and good cooling
yeah its BS i play on 4090 5900x with framegenerations on i have 140 fps and higher but still those little stutters sometimes. hate that shit, when you spend 1000 of euro's on a gaming pc and you get this shit.
Owning a PC these days is more like owing it in 1980's: very expensive and not really fun - you have to spend hours for manual tweaking and optimization before playing. Even as PC gamer I have more fun playing on PS5. And now you still can't go above 1920x1080 without having to buy a new $1000+ GPU once a year. Now ~40-TFLOPS monster RTX 3090 is a joke and performs just at 45-50 FPS with Ultra @ FullHD @ Native in this game. Even 90-TFLOPS RTX 4090 can't manage 120 FPS at the same settings. 4K Native is just unreachable. Ascendant Studios didn't even tried to optimize this game. Even LoDs seems to be rendered at full geometric detail - so, does Unreal Engine 5 support LoD Bias? European Union forced all manufacturers to use USB Type-C in their phones, so they have to force game developers to optimize performance by some standards. Otherwise just not let unoptimized games to be sold in EU. Also allow Upscalers just as option but not as necessity for good performance. Upscalers made game coders extremely lazy and indifferent to their job
6700XT 12GB having less probs than the newest Nvidia cards. I dunno why (not you) so many Nvidia people were in such denial about the importance of VRAM. 16GB VRAM is going to be the sweet spot for 1440p by mid-2024. PS All things on Ultra, no VRAM issues on a 6700XT @ 1440p.
Weird seeing my 6700XT 12GB outperforming this 3080Ti 12GB... wtf? REALLY looking forward to UE5 games that aren't biased towards one manufacturer or another. Am I blind or is this guy intentionally hiding his CPU and VRAM usage? Just typing in names of what they are into MSI Afterburner. My first two videos on my channel are of the 6700XT 12GB and 5900x. A 5800x3D would do quite a bit better in this game, as my GPU isn't pulling the wattages I expect it to all the time. But it appears to be doing better than this supposed "13900k". Maybe it's the 64MB L3 cache + SAM enabled and the 96MB Infinity Cache on the GPU just helping things communicate that much faster than an Nvidia + Intel rig. PS: I'm recording using my GPU @ 1440p 60fps 100MBit/s settings. So, you can practically add 5fps when not recording. I don't have a capture card as I don't really upload vids. Skip around on my main channel vid and see the different sections. See my VRAM usage, see my fps.. all at 1440p Ultra + FSR Quality.
I tweak almost no game at all. I crank everything up to ultra of very high and play the game. On the other hand, the tweaking is part of the experience for most pc-gamers. Consoles give you 30 to 60 fps, but my pc gives me 144+ fps on Ultra, 1440P in most games. This game is just poorly optimised. I can still play it on 111 fps average (6 hours played) with some dips to 70 fps. 3900X @ 4.4Ghz with a 7900 XTX and 32GB 3200Mhz memory. Using FSR2 on Quality. Not much difference with it on or off for me, except having it on gives me more crisp images.
@@Heartbeat-Pete Yeah, the thing about consoles is that they aren't playing at PC settings. The OP isn't considering that fact. It's "4K" but ALWAYS using upscaling AND typically running at 30fps at medium settings. I mean, you can do that on a PC but that takes all the purpose out of gaming on a PC away. When I play at 1440p, it's really 1440p with all graphics maxed out. I can turn FSR 2.x on or off if I want and choose the level of it I want. On a console? Nah. It's always mid-level graphics settings with some scaling resolution that's being upscaled to "4K". Never native 4K. They have specialized AMD APUs, with the best Xbox having the equivalent of the 6700XT and the PS5 having the equivalent of the 6700 non-XT. But in APU form with a 3700x. There was a game recently that gained like 20-30% in performance ONLY on the 6700 series cards because that's what consoles use. That was interesting to see... I can't remember what it was, though. One of those terribly optimized games. I think it was The Last of Us.
you have too much video ram occupied in windows. one of your programs uses too much memory in the background, I have 0.5 GB used by windows when I close all programs.
Thanks for the video, got pretty much the same hardware and so far UE5 doesn't knock off my socks. Not much bang for the buck, and devs seem to have a hard time with it. Others create more impressive games with less. Gonna wait for a sale. ´
It is insanely good and it will rule open-world games. As nanite makes grass, trees, rocks, etc. pretty much free. Plus you will have no visible LOD changes. But the truth is that just like with RT, we reached lvl of graphics where even huge technological changes don't hit you constantly in the face like in the past.
@@korinogaroIt's so good it has problems with 12th/13th gen cpus. To even start the game without crashes I had to temper with my BIOS (disable e-cores) and manually edit config settings outside of the game... While I got 90+ FPS on 2k, the game looked less than mediocre and had some stuttering on top... uninstalled and refunded. Won't touch UE5 games in the coming months till they know what they're doing.
@@joergbock1976 it is not engines fault that CPU can't switch loads correctly or it, CPU, doesn't blacklist e-cores for the engine. There is finite list of instructions every CPU uses, it is not software's work to mitigate failures on CPU manufacturer's side when some cores can't do this shit properly.
Looks pretty good to me. You may not be loading the textures in. Got a 12GB+ VRAM card? Probably not, probably an Nvidia card, right? And an Intel CPU? Shoulda had a V8. I mean, shoulda had a 5800x3D + AMD GPU like a 6800XT 16GB or better. AMD does better with Lumen than Nvidia, too. RTX is an NVidia DXR thing like PhysX, Hairworks, etc. DXR is Microsoft's DirectX Raytracing. RTX is RTX DXR Nvidia's "make sure it runs bad on AMD" ray tracing. Lumen + Nanite? Plays best on AMD.
@@JustAGuy85 How do you justify a poorly optimized game LOL. You need a 12gb card for a game that looks worst than RDR2? That makes absolutely no sense. Most of these dont even look that great, especially this game. Its mediocre at most with the graphics. Stop coping bruh, you don't need 12gb to play a fkn game..... LOL.
Funny how i just got this game on black friday sale and running on a 3090ti and get 100fps to 90 fps and allows me to use frame generation which nvidia said was only available on 40 series. its lies as this works on this card and boosted my fps. can play everything on ultra no issues. is it just a patch or am i just lucky ?
I feel like the games configuration menu cannot be trusted at all. On my 4060 it runs better when I set things to ultra and turn dlss and frame gen completely off.
I have a 4060 and no prior experience in pc gaming. I put global illumination and post processing on ultra and the rest mostly on high or low. It runs at 55 to 60fps on 1080p without frame gen and dlss. I turned that off because it caused my game to crash every few minutes or so.
Those settings will destroy your frame rate in specific sequences. Global illumination & post processing at ultra will not serve you well with a 4060 in this game.
@@Yrbrother To be fair it would make repeat playthroughs annoying, even if dialogue choices exist to add some replay value. The lack of a skip option was also in The Calisto Protocol; and even though on a first playthrough it was fine, it made doing runs on the hardest difficulties anyoing.
I have a 4080 and the FG (frame generation) is constantly off for me as well. Don't know how to fix it, i've tried everything.
I did enable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in windows game settings, doin so enabled the FG setting
