high gpu usage = bad optimization?,30fps "that actually works and isn't entirely noticeable"?? , this essentialy helps me understand how little you know of everything related to games graphics optimization and gameing in general no gamer would look at 30fps as ok , i cringe when i go from 144 to 100 in some games below 60 and i lose my mind , the best optimization in the world is essentialy near 100% gpu/cpu usage limited only by the gpu/cpu if any of them are not good enough to help with the other
- 7 years agoI don't like going to 30fps and I personally notice the difference. I did test after test for hours yesterday and I would lose my mind as well any time it dropped below 60 fps. But for SOME people it wasn't entirely noticeable when they dropped it to 30fps, so I provided it as a temporary solution for those still having troubles who won't go mad doing so.
My point essentially is that after testing all the possible solutions I was able to find to the problem myself and others have been having, you have to limit your game to fix it, which isn't really an ideal fix. I'm saying they need to find an actual fix, eg, optimizing it better so that you don't have to limit the game to hell and back just to be able to stream it smoothly.
Also, maybe I'm not fully educated on optimization and that's a me problem, but you don't have to insult me to make your point. It's uncalled for. I spoke to many friends who essentially said it's how the game was optimized and so that's what I chalked it up to, poor optimization. If that isn't the correct terminology then again, my bad.
But my point stands that, you shouldn't have to limit this game so drastically just to be able to stream it and play it if you have a decent to good PC, which I do. I have no problem with more intense games, so why is this one such a problem? Because of how they made it. It's new and with how popular it is and how many complaints there have been about this, I expect it to be dealt with in the future, but I wanted to raise it because of the 30fps solution I found that doesn't drive SOME people nuts.- 7 years ago
im not a tech geek but is'nt high GPU usage meant good optimization? it means the game fully utilize the GPU power (unless the fps is capped) at least that's what i want my game to do. maybe it made more sense if youre talking about high CPU usage.
and the absurd statement about '30fps is not noticeable' aside, okay im gonna give it a benefit of the doubt that maybe a minor population of people might not notice. but still, they're at a disadvantage when playing against people with 60+ fps because of their higher reaction time and lower input delay.- 7 years ago
I already said in my reply that poor optimization may not have been what I was going for. The problem at hand is that this game takes so much GPU that it leaves little room for much else. It's not a problem if you're just playing the game, but if you're trying to stream too then it becomes a problem for a lot of people. People want to stream this game, but have problems because of this. I notice when my FPS drops below 60, but other people who don't pay attention to that said they were fine at 30 fps, hardly noticed a difference, and it was a fix for them. KUDOS if it solved the problem for them, but it is a terrible solution.
My point still stands, limiting the crap out of your game isn't an ideal fix for this problem, especially if you have a good set up and encounter this problem regardless, which many people seem to be having.
