0.4.1.0 Performance improvements Discussion

Hello all, Since the DX11 upgrade, surely most, if not all, of us have had some improvements or changes to performance. Also since some of it was moved more to the GPU. So, let's discuss it. Since I started the Thread, I shall start. My Specs can be found in my Signature.

Settings:
Mesh Quality: High
Texture Quality: High
Lighting Quality: High
Shader Quality: High
Anisotropic Filtering: x8
AntiAliasing: x4
SSAO: Enabled
HDR: Enabled
Light Rays: Enabled
Depth of Field: Enabled
Dynamic reflection: Enabled

Texture size: 1
Faces per update: 2
Detail: 0.2
Distance: 190m​

Note: I did have my Reflection settings lowered because having it enabled and on high on East Coast would cause massive framerate drops. Will bump settings up as of today.

Post your improvements below

 

Specs are in the sig (duh), and my settings for my GTX 970 are as follows:

1920x1080@60Hz fullscreen

Vsync On

Mesh: Normal
Texture: High
Lighting: High
Shading: High
AF: 16x
AA: Off

SSAO: On, low quality
HDR: On, bloom enabled
DOF: Off
Light Rays: Off

Dynamic Reflections: Off

With DX9:

Held 60 most of the time, but on most maps like Port and ECUSA I had drops into the 40s, and with headlights on any map I would drop to 50.

With the limiter off I would guess high 50s to mid 60s

With DX11 + other optimizations:

Holds 60, all the time. With these settings, the only way I can drop below 60 is to do a lot of drifting, and then the skidmarks start to hurt performance.

With the limiter off I can see around 75 to mid 80s

 

Not really any improvements.
DX9:
Lighting: lowest
Mesh quality: high
texture quality: normal
shader quality: normal
postfx: low
dynamic reflection: normal
FPS: 30, with one d15 on gridmap
DX11:
Lighting: lowest
Mesh quality: high
texture quality: normal
shader quality: normal
postfx: low
dynamic reflection: normal
FPS: 21, with one d15 on gridmap

i have lost about 5-10 fps on normal maps

 

That really shouldn't be the case... I have the same GPU and both me and OP have experienced gains. It's also well know that Maxwell doesn't like DX9. Are you sure you're using the same settings?

At best DX11 will have a more stable framerate, that's something that's been observed in lots of other games because it can handle more drawcalls better.

 

With my 750 I get about 80FPS on Gridmap with the D Series pickup.
Beofre that I used to be just under 60FPS, so there was a slight improvement.
I'm playing on the normal settings preset with dynamic reflections at middle-ish settings (except for the refresh thing, that's on 6)

 

all maxed
if i have a 60hz monitor i can only see up to 60fps so if i get a 140hz i can see 140fps?
