Post » Sat Sep 14, 2013 3:39 pm

A quick reminder for crytek - the problems with fps drops/gpu usage drops are still there.

feel free to post here if you got similar problems.

I recorded a video to show the problem:



Are you working on it crytek? Whats the status?


methods of improvement:

- disable/enable v-sync
- use adaptive v-sync
- cap fps (e.g sys_maxfps = 60)
- EVGA K-Boost
- 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in the NVIDIA control panel
- clean install of NVIDIA driver (Driver Fusion)
- use a different NVIDIA driver
- CVar settings to reduce the graphical load: http://secure.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=56955 or Maldo: http://maldotex.blogspot.de/2013/01/crysis-3-mp-beta.html
- borderless window mode -> r_fullscreenwindow = 1

I finally got it wthout any drops, i believe it was through playing with the CVar configurator.
Have you checked cpu usage while these slowdowns are happening?
folks on Guru3D are playing it fine too.

So what exactly did you do? you could post ur config file here.

my cpu usage is at about 60-70 percent, the slowdowns do not have to seem influence on the cpu.

BUT my gpu usage is going up and down like crazy (see thread 1).

Hi Bluutar, well i done something that's for sure bacause when i first was playing it i was at around 50fps with these horrible slowdowns too, now i'm all good with around 90 -100% gpu usage and no distracting slowdowns, with the slowdowns i was also getting low gpu usage.
Sure i'll post everything i done and post pics of my CVar config settings too, but i'll do that last.
First, make sure your system is ocED TO THE MAX (gpu + cpu + ram) but it must be stable of course.
Next, try different drivers (with the laters GeForce drivers i had multi driver crashes but not so with the quadro drivers -i've started using thse quadros with a moded .inf file).
set frame rate limit to 60, in-game v sync disabled and nvidia adaptive v sync enabled (if you have nvidia card).
use the command in the console r_PostMSAA = 0

To use the CVar configurator first set in-game settings THEN the configurator.

Its not an upgrade issue, something else is wrong. I can run this game MAX 4x MSAA with almost constant 60 fps, but in certain area's the fps will drop to like 5.

Specificly it happens in the area your first tasked to clear when you receive the BOW in single player. Later it happens sporaticly in the DAM level as well. OTher than that the rest of the game runs fine for me.

This really needs to be addressed Crytek. You guys were so great with communication in beta, now there is barely anything. You made an amazing game, just fix the few problems and you have yourself a real winner :)
