Low FPS in Helldivers 2
Low FPS in Helldivers 2
Hey, your performance in Hell Divers is dropping as the mission progresses. It starts strong at 120+ FPS but gradually drops to around 40 minutes. By the end it’s only 45-55 FPS, which isn’t great. The GPU is being used heavily at the start, then tapers off near the finish, showing a CPU bottleneck around 60-70% usage (about 70-75W). This could be helping, but it’s not ideal. Your temps stay under 65°C for both GPU and CPU, with 1440p at full settings. Any tips to boost performance would be super helpful.
I haven’t noticed this pattern before while playing last week, but it’s important to mention that this game demands a lot of CPU power, particularly when enemies appear and bodies float across the map. On my setup at home, I’m achieving around 70/80 frames per second on the "ultra" setting at native resolution of 3440x1440. With a 13600k and 4070 Super graphics card, you’d expect a smoother experience. To improve performance, you could try using the recommended graphics presets—even though the "ultra" isn’t fully pushed to its limit. Some users have found success by enabling Async Compute in the graphics menu, which can noticeably boost frame rates, though results may vary depending on your hardware.
I've also faced this problem sometimes (7800x3D, RTX4080, 2x16GB DDR5; 4k HDR usually runs 90-120fps when render is set to 'ultra quality' instead of native). Generally, a complete system restart resolves it, and it doesn't recur for a while. I'm curious if it might relate to the amount of RAM you have, especially since you keep background apps like F@H and Discord running.
