Snowden42 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I am a bit surprised by my FPS after following SR:LE, particularly after hearing that Neo averages 40 or more with a similar configuration. For reference, my specs are a factory OC 980, i5-4690, and 8 GB of RAM and I run the game at 1440p. I use an SSD for storage, so there shouldn't be any sort of bottleneck on texture load. I'm getting ~40 FPS or less just standing in Helgen staring at the particle effects. On cell load (at least I think it is on cell load), my FPS dips slightly, but I did expect this. I'm just wondering if I'm having an optimization issue, or if this is the kind of performance I can expect. EDIT: Sorry this isn't in the support forum, I meant to post it there.

hishutup Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Eh, OC the processor.I found that the graphics overhead is quite large even with a 970 in some areas.I went from a AMD phenom ii @ 3.6 to a 6700k @ 4.0 and found that my fps more than doubled in some areas.Then I went from a 4.0GHz to a 4.6 GHZ clock rate and found an extra 6 fps Link to comment
Snowden42 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I don't have the unlocked version of my CPU, so sadly overclocking is quite a bit harder. EDIT: 99% certain this is an ENB issue. Toggling it off, I get 60 FPS as expected. Edited March 5, 2016 by Snowden42 Link to comment
Snowden42 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Ok, so things seem quite a lot better and the framerate is much more stable. I fiddled with the reserved memory size, and set it to 256. I also installed the Performance version of Vividian (I might try to fiddle with the standard version at some point and see if I can improve it and get better frame rate off of that preset). The other thing was that it turns out I had not followed the guide exactly, and had instead installed the .305 binary of ENB. This one has some thread optimization which I guess isn't really ready for use, and it seems like it causes some stuttering and performance loss. I swapped over to .292 and this helped. I also disabled Vsync, and I'm wondering if that's also helping. Disabling Vsync and increasing the reserved memory size seems to net around 8-10 fps for me.

Spock Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 That kind of FPS is expected at that resolution with an ENB preset that uses all the features. Link to comment
