Re: dx12 mode broken since update ???

Same here: i7 7800xx - RTX 2070 - 32GB Ram - SSDs - Win10.

Tried deleting the folder in documents...game FPS went up for a couple of minutes...still at 20-40FPS.

Before it was at 6-10 fps. GPU all the time at 100% (not overheating, water cooled)

I have the feeling, that RTX was somehow enabled...as mostly NVIDIA RTX Cards seem to have those DX12 problems recently. 


Latest SWBF II update: No Cure after optimizing shaders...

DX11 (4GB VRAM) --> 60FPS capped

DX12 (8GB VRAM) --> stalls the GFX Card down to 1FPS within seconds

Did anyone try a fresh SWBF II install with an RTX Card?

  • Hey,

    I just installed the game overnight (3700x, rtx2070super, 16GB Ram, nvme ssd, 1080p), and the problem still exist on DX12. Funny thing is, I only encounter the issue when I'm on an area where there's a lot of light/reflection going on. When I turn to a wall w/o any supposed RTX feature, 60 FPS constant (V-Sync enabled). So I think this kind of confirms the theory behind RTX making the engine crap itself. DxDiag attached. Oh, BFV works fine without any problem on PCMASTERRACE settings. O.o

    Cheers

    I don't have an RTX but playing the campaign on DX12 with 1070 was frustrating, kept being blocked by bugs. Then the mission over Naboo would be mostly black screen. Switched to DX11 to make it work. Still lots of other bugs like floating bodies and bodies that keep dying again and again. Shame cause otherwise the campaign is great. 

    Scary to see how many issues they have with that game years after launch.

    I have a RTX 3080 FE and this game runs like absolute garbage on DX12.... As low as 1 to 2 FPS!! Wow what is going on EA? I may get a refund this is ridiculous.

  • DX12 mode is broken. Fix it!


    AMD R7 3800X

    32 GB of DDR4 (3000 MHz)

    NVidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super (driver is 456.71 WHQL)

    SATA SSD

    Absolutely unplayble (10fps or less) in 1080p

    DX11 is fine (80+ fps in 4K res.).

  • Dude exactly the same for me, R7 3700X 16gb 2666, RTX 2070 and 2.5 inch ssd. Everything on ultra I get 70fps+ but DX12 Medium settings I get 10 fps? This issue has been around for ages its about time they fix it especially with the new gpu’s being released atm.

  • Also, all of my system memory including VRAM get put to 100% utilisation and my CPU is put around 50% with 8 or so threats being optimised. Gpu is set around 100% (As usual) and running 84 degrees celsius (As usual). Idk anyway I looking at getting a RTX 3070 and a 1TB M.2 SSD. I’ll look at 32GB ram if I decide to get it. I will release my results when I get said hardware and hope for the best.

  • YES. November 2020, just installed the 3080 EVGA XC3 ultra, overclocked, and 10 fps.

    Pretty much same problems, even on a 3080 Tuf

    Intel i7 10700

    16GB DDR4 (3200@ 14-14-14-32)
    Nvidia RTX 3080 (Asus Tuf OC)
    NVMe m.2

    barely getting 30fps at 1080p, which is laughable frame rate for 1080p considering the card.

    How does something break this bad without completely breaking?
