Tech Support Make 30 FPS feel less bad.

49 Upvotes

I’m playing single-player games on my laptop with a Radeon 780M. Do you have any ideas on how to make 30 FPS feel smooth like a YouTube video or a movie? I don’t care about input lag.

Edit: A tile I'm playing right now is genshin. High settings, 2.5k resolution (fps between 35 to 40, 1% lows is horrible). I can lower the res but l love the game atmosphere so I'm trying to make 30 fps work

(SPECS : I5 4460S, 8GB DDR3 2133MHZ, RX 550 2GB SAPPHIRE Overclocked to 1400mhz core, 1800 mhz memory using msi afterburner)
i wanna run cyberpunk on this piece of junk but it refuses to, the main issues are :
1. Textures and the ground not loading
2. Really awful stuttering every second atleast 5 times, sometimes the game even stops itself for like 3 seconds,
i know these specs are awful for cyberpunk but i need to figure out what causes these 2 issues, i was thinking it could be cause by either ram, vram or the cpu but i dont know if it is the cpu since it constantly stays at about 30-40% usage, i did hear that the 2.0 patch introduced a memory leak but i cant play 1.63 since it 1. sucks 2. i get even less fps in that version since my gpu is horrible
any help is appreciated

Tech Support Can't play a game because it only supports dedicated graphics card.

24 Upvotes

There is a new game Delta Force Hawk Ops and it just launched its alpha. But when I try to play the game it says I need a dedicated gpu to play it. But that game's minimum system requirements is a gtx 960. I have a 5600g so I think I can run it fairly well on 720p. Is there any way to bypass this barrier?

Hey guys, I need help so I recently upgraded from gt730 2gb to an gtx750ti 4gb ddr5 and I am getting severely low fps and performance on games such as GTA 5 online I can barely achieve anything more than 40+ fps and I don’t know if my cpu or gpu is causing this issue or not because I saw another benchmark video with the same specs as mine and they get over 60+ more fps. And I am so sick of using lossless scaling to get at least over 60 fps I just want my own gpu to do it any help would be appreciated!!

Here are my pc specs: Cpu i7-870 Gtx750ti 4gb ddr5 300watt psu 16 gigs of ram ddr3 Main Ssd + Portable ssd (where my gta is installed)

Tech Support Would getting a new GPU be enough for my desktop?

23 Upvotes

I recently got a new desktop- Intel HD Graphics 530 GPU, i5-6500 CPU, 16 gigs of ram. Not great but I'm fine with it, especially for ninety bucks. I want to get a new GPU so I could run Elden Ring, but I'm worried it wouldn't be enough. If I did get a good GPU and put in the desktop, would that be enough to run Elden Ring? Not even like well just at like 30 FPS low settings

Tech Support Is lossless scaling REALLY that amazing?

44 Upvotes

I just can't believe it. You're telling me that for $10, I can double my FPS with the only downside being that screenshots might look weird?

From what I understand, this tool takes two frames and then uses AI to create an extra frame in between them. This sounds like it could work, but I'm still confused about two things. First, how are they generating that future frame and then showing us the previous one? And second, how is it possible to generate so many of these fake frames so quickly without overwhelming my CPU?

Tech Support I upgraded my GPU, now my performance is worse.

23 Upvotes

Solved: I reinstalled BO6 and it pre-loaded the shaders and my performance doubled. For some reason the shaders weren't pre-loading and it was still optimized for the 1660.

update #2: sold both cards and bought a 2070 super like i should've done in the first place lmao

I upgraded to a GTX 1070 from a 1660 and my performance has tanked. I was playing bo6 at a smooth 120fps and it never dropped lower than that, but now I can't even hit 100. I benchmarked it with the in-game feature and my average went from 117fps to 76fps. I installed DDU, rebooted into safe mode and uninstalled all the drivers from my system, including the Radeon drivers from my apu, then did a complete fresh install of both sets of drivers, but my fps is still horrible. I tried overclocking the GPU and nothing changed. my 3Dmark timespy score was a 7837 with the 1660, and it's now a 5480 with the 1070. Also bo6 says my GPU is a 94% bottleneck, which definitely should not be the case. I should be getting bottlenecked by my CPU. Idk what to do.

Couple of questions. Did i overpay? What kind of performance can he expect in esport type games and Minecraft. I assume he'll mostly play light indies maybe Palia (mmo he enjoys on his switch) so i believe it'll run most things he's likely to play as he is only 10 so wont be playing Elden ring for a good few years by which time he'll probably have up upgrade.

Anything in particular i should do to ensure he gets the best experience. I want this to be like my Christmas at 10 when I got a gbc and pokemon red and it was basically the most exciting thing ever.

It barely runs 15-20 fps on some of the lowest settings on X-Plane 11, and I am looking for some advice on how I can optimize this laptop for a few more FPS at the very least without purchasing anything.

Tech Support Low FPS on laptop PC

15 Upvotes

Hello. I am using a Casper Nirvana S500 laptop with Windows 11 installed. I get low FPS on games that are not even that resource-heavy. For example, I get 20-30 FPS on Valorant, 30-40 FPS on Minecraft 1.20(Sodium and other various performance mods installed) at the lowest graphic settings. I've asked around in other sites and everyone said my fps shouldn't be that low, but they never gave me a clear answer on how to fix the issue. The laptop isn't brand new by any means, but i got like 80 FPS in those games like 2 years ago and reset it occasionally.

My specs are;
8 GB of RAM
256 GB SSD
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce MX230

Tech Support Was I too optimistic trying to run Cyberpunk on a 1660?

20 Upvotes

Low end gamer here, I just upgraded my 560ti to a GTX 1660 Super and thought I'd try Cyberpunk. I know it's a demanding game, but I figured I could at least play on 720p low settings, but I'm still dipping down to ~20 or fewer frames during combat, and sometimes the game almost feels like it's in slow motion. I tried installing the FSR3 Frame Gen mod, but can't tell whether it's even enabled or making a difference. My CPU is very dated and could very well be a bottleneck as well (specs below).

I would absolutely concede potato graphics for more frames, but it seems like I can't even quite achieve that. I'm a relative newbie in PC gaming, did I naively assume installing a new GPU is just plug and play?

I figured the game would recognize the hardware and optimize it, which makes me wonder whether I'm just being too hopeful attempting a game this demanding? It also makes me wonder whether I don't have the right settings and the GPU is not being utilized fully, and/or the game is not playing optimized.

Any direction would be super appreciated!

I’m trying to download red dead to a flash drive to be able to run the game sense I do not have enough storage. I looked it up on YouTube and all it’s led me to is making a bunch of files that lead me to NOTHING. I honestly do NOT know what I am doing and I don’t want to mess my laptop up by adding and deleting files I do not need. If anyone could help me please that would be great. Everytime I run the game it says my laptop doesn’t meet RAM memory in order to run. But my laptop is a Lenovo Idea pad 1 with AMD Ryzen 5 and AMD Radeon Graphics, With 8 Gb RAM. I simply just don’t understand. Is it the graphics card? Is it storage? I’m just lost. Am I even able to use the flash drive to run the game? I’m lost😭😭😭 please someone tell me did I just waste my money on this game to not even be able to play.

So I've gotten an office PC it's Lenovo ThinkCentre and I was thinking of making it lower end gaming pc.

Configs are: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz

GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 PSU: LITEON 210W

RAM: 16GB DDR4

SSD: SanDisk 250 GB

So obviously I would love to add an actual GPU but it needs to be compact and I would add SSD. My goal is for it to run R6 pretty okey, LOL and some older campagne games.

SSD upgrade isint crutial and I can't change PSU sadly so I need a GPU that will run on 210W (mybe 1650 or 3050 8GB would work but 3050 is a 250 where Im from)

So my question is what GPU do you recomand?

BTW my budget is about 150 euros.
