Rocket says a lot of things. Most of them are provably wrong.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RdXoofZqeaE#t=66 Is my reaction to anyone claiming 30fps or higher in major cities regardless of the system specs they're playing on. The fact of the matter is this, any quad core CPU and recent mid to high end GPU will be underutilized by this game as it currently stands, you won't even get close to 100% usage on GPU or CPU, to the point where a 2500k provides almost exactly the same framerates as a 5 year old Deneb, when the 2500k is easily some 40 to 50% faster in real terms. Something simply isn't right with the game currently, understandably so due to it being an Alpha, but that doesn't stop the issue needing to be addressed. So, lets keep it honest.

No, you're getting similar framerates to myself and everyone else who shares legitimate FPS information. I often play with a friend who uses a 2500k and GTX760, (the cpu in particular is much faster than my nearly 5 year old 955, their GPU is still faster, but much less so than the difference in CPU performance) and we get almost exactly the same framerates as each other, I rarely fall more than acouple of FPS behind her much more powerful system in the same area. I doubt it's anything to do with hardware, if that were the limiting factor people would be reporting much wider differences in FPS between high end and older systems. I've yet to come across a tweak or setting change that has any real effect on boosting city FPS, so for now I'm afraid we're all going to have to live with low 20s fps in big cities.

There seems to be a issue with GPUs currently as demonstrated in Darkwave's post earlier in the thread. There may also be an issue with CPU optimization and ineffective Multi-threading, but it seems to me that it's the issue with dropping GPU utilization around towns that's responsible for the worst of the city/town framerate issues.

Running a similar system with an overclocked 955BE and r9 270. I have absolutely no doubt you're full of sh*t. Spreading bullsh*t like this is only going to create confusion and slow down the optimization process. Kindly knock it the hell off.

doesn't make sense. :rolleyes:
