John Sheppard Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hi guys My game has been running unreasonably slow (IMO) for the system i've got and i was wondering if any of you with comparable PCs could confirm the slow performance i'm usually running at 12-14 FPS at 1920x1080 on lowest settings .. if i switch to 1600x900 then i get 16-18FPS So my system specs : Motherboard : Gigabyte B150M-HD3-DDR3 CPU : i3-6098P 3.6 Ghz (skylake) Ram : Crucial Balistx sport 4GB+4GB (dual channel kit) at 1600Mhz GPU : Geforce GT 730 (2GB GDDR5 verison) (yes i know i should had bought a proper GTX but couldn't afford one) SSD : Sandisk Ultra 2 240GB (my windows 7 and naval action are located on this) Previously i had the DDR3 version of the graphics card so i tried to upgrade to the ddr5 version but didn't see any improvent.. i was expecting that i would get to say 20 FPS Does anyone have any GPU similar to mine ? coz i would expect to get a lot more FPS from this .. the game doesn't look so GPU demanding on low settings.. i mean other games run very smooth with higher graphics also i've tried to use the cpu's internal graphics for a time and that was giving me 9-11 FPS Also i would like to ask if i will still be able to play the game when it moves to unity 5? or will it be even slower? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sheppard Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 I have done all this mate I built the system less than a year ago myself and nothing is overheating .. the gpu stays well below 60C and the cpu rarely exceeds 45C i have no other programs running when i open naval action except steam and realtek audio .. no antiviruses or any of that BS it's a completely clean OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 you need to figure out where your bottleneck is. from what i can see it might be your gpu but keep in in mind that even if you buy a better gpu your cpu might not be able to keep up with it. i used to have amd phenom 2 x6 cpu + some old gpu and when i got the rx480 i did not really gain any fps so i figured my cpu was the bottleneck i ordered the ryzen 1800x and gained 50 fps. so when you buy new equipment for your computer its better to buy something good and use it for a few years then to go cheap and have to upgrade again.

seanjo Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's very possible you've got a virus or your bandwidth is being hogged by malware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Most likely bottleneck is the GPU. You can try the build with unity 5 (currently on testbed) and check your perfomance there How to get access on testbed server: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sheppard Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 i have just made more tests using the task manager and resource monitor the CPU usually stays between 9-20% with the occasional spike to 40-50% while the game is running both the CPU and GPU stay reletively cool as i already said even tho the GPU seems to operate on a 100% .. i have tried to overclock it slightly without any major improvent (maybe 2 fps or so) so i gave that up i also checked my internet usage , it's completely normal and i get a 1.2mb/s download speed it's a fresh install of windows 7 and completely clean so viruses aren't the issue here it's just the GPU apparently oh and the drivers i'm using are the latest from nvidia too another thing i've noticed is that the game is using only 1.7-2.3GB of ram (with the whole system consuming 2.5GB-3GB of ram while the game is running out of my 8GB ) could it be that the game isn't getting enough ram since my steam folder is installed in the x86 program files folder ? if so how do i run it it in x64?

John Sheppard Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 ok so i have just entered the testbed server and i'm relieved to see that it works even beter now i'm getting 22-25 FPS so i've set it to 15/15 and increased the water quality to medium (which makes my speed much more noticable and easier to sail in a way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reorx Redbeard Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 On 09-09-2017 at 1:08 PM, Peter Goldman said: Unity 5 has better performance. To improve your performance, do simple tricks: 1. Go to Nvidia Control Panel and mess up with the settings for NA 2. Turn off stuff running in background 3. Check if your equipment is not overheating using Speccy or HWInfo 4. If something is overheating/throttling then clean your PC from dust, use the heat-conducting paste to the processor, possibly get another fan to improve the air flow in order to lower the temps or getting better GPU and CPU where do you find NA i nvidia control panel??
