This is the real kicker. NONE of my resources are close to being maxed; only half my ram used, cpu and gpu at like 50-60 percent. It’s like the game can’t use my hardware properly (12700k/3090ti).
I’m absolutely certain it’s not my rig, b/c I play other games that almost max my stuff out, Darktide just… isn’t using my resources for some reason.
CPU utilization is not a good metric by itself because the game isn’t going to use all the threads anyway, so it’s not 100% certain you’re not being bottlenecked by single-core performance if you are running CPU settings very high, even if you have a good CPU. How many threads are you running? You’ll get the best single-core performance with the fewest threads, so you want to disable the ecores for gaming, and you might even want to disable hyperthreading for most games.
There’s obviously some things wrong with the performance in the game, but if your performance has been the same the whole time, and didn’t drop with this patch, there is a small chance it’s just a CPU bottleneck.
Agreed; I had issues which only started with this patch though
I actually had some luck dropping the number of worker threads to 1/2 of default; I assume because the multi threading of the CPPU parts aren’t good with high thread counts - I at least get 45+ all the time now
