Graphics settings don't matter?
I just now tried to lower my graphics settings, ultra, high, medium, low. They don't give me an FPS boost. I do have the RTX enabled, but that shouldn't matter a lot, should it? I mean, DLSS and all ...

@meeha2 I’ve ridden out the troubles in 3, 4, and V. 2042 has been a complete disaster in comparison to those titles. I missed the hard start for BC2 thankfully. Those ones were good enough to hold the players to where it improved. This one took 8 months to get to a playable level, which is obviously too long looking at player numbers. It’s good enough now that if it had content, it’s be a good game. Still needs work, but it’s playable and relatively enjoyable, it’s just boring. There are lots of threads on that topic so I won’t flog a dead horse. A server browser would have saved it 4 months ago, players who had bought it would have come back. It’s too late and they’re not giving us one anyways, just seem to lack the courage to tell us.
@ATFGunr 30-40 FPS and constant freezes is playable you say?!? OK then, no problem, forget about this thread and life's good... Sorry to bother you.
In general it is recommended to have the settings on low if one wants optimal gameplay.
Even with good frames per sec, the extra stuff often impair visibility.
In any case this might help

- @UP_Hawxxeye Just read the OP again please... But I'll try the settings tomorrow. But still, I don't think they'll change anything... If the game can't run on low settings... But I'll try, just to make you relax.
@meeha2I am also curious myself.
I had a 1050 ti until yesterday and I run only on low settings to keep the game at 40+ fps
Now I have a new 3060 ti with 100+ fps with mostly low settings 1080p and DLSS. No RTX yet.
I will experiment with different settings to see how much I can increase them them without dipping bellow 60 minimum.the rest of my rig is 32 gb ram ( I also have too many tabs)
and AMD 5800X
- @meeha2 You’re the one who posted, don’t bite the hands of people trying to help. If you’re just posting because you’re frustrated with the game that’s cool, but be more clear that it’s rhetorical and you’re just venting.
@ATFGunr@ATFGunrI didn't mean to offend anybody. I just mentioned to re-read the original post because the guy recommended me to lower the graphical settings, which I already did, and mentioned about it above. If I did, I am sorry, I just wanted to clarify the situation.
@UP_HawxxeyeI will test the settings now and will let you know UPDATE:OK, I ran the game, with MSI Afterburner recording my stats, and it just running, not recording. So MSI Afterburner shows that on average, I have about 35-40 FPS, and minimum was 27. The MSI Afterburner's file shows the graph, and so it's sort of hard to track everything, such as lowest score, but either way, that's... my usual gameplay FPS for Garbagefield 2042. Sorry, I just can't call it Ba... Ba... Nope, sorry, just can't. Because this game isn't Battlefield. It's glitchy, it's laggy, it has "specialists" nobody is interested in... So this is not Battlefield. Or at least, I can't call it like that. (I just have to note it, there most probably were bugs even in BF3/4 and other games, but... to some extent, 99% of them were so minor nobody paid much attention to them, because you had to have a super sharp eye to see them (once again, please excuse me if I'm wrong; for over 700 hours I spend on BF4, I may have seen a bug or two at most, which I don't remember anymore - so minor they were, so I consider it to be a pretty well made game))
I had an 8086k (a binned special edition 8700k, overclocked to 5ghz on all cores) and game ran terribly on it, my old 3090 was fluctuating up and down all the time, even in 64 player maps.
I swapped everything out to a z690 platform with a 12900k, night and day different, however, BF is still CPU bound, my now 3090ti in heavy combat scenarios still is only running about 85% usage whilst a few CPU cores are getting utterly hammered.
tl;d, Game is CPU bound, 12th gen will massively improve, but will still bottleneck modern cards (even at 4k like I am running).
