Hi, I'm just starting out with H1Z1 again. After they released new updates, my FPS dropped a lot. I tried overclocking with MSI Afterburner, adding +100 Core clock and +150 Memory clock, but it didn't help. I also ran the Heaven benchmark consistently. Then I added +518 Core and +845 Memory, still no change. Any advice on what to do?

Hello... Are you familiar with MSI Afterburner? There are three speed settings for a GPU, designed for energy efficiency. This setup requires a 3D application to navigate through the changes, as suggested by the linked OCr. Essentially, firmware speeds are programmed for each of these three levels and can be adjusted... I don’t use Afterburner since it wasn’t available when we started. Usually, I have a bootable USB with pre-made versions created using firmware editing tools. I simply burn or flash them onto the GPU for testing purposes. This eliminates any software interference.

I check the documentation first to find the best settings for my model and then create or modify different BIO files for GPU/memory configurations during testing.

This app should work with your...

Hello... If your GPU improvements aren't making a difference, it might be a CPU bottleneck. Could you list your system components?

CPU model is AMD FX 6300 with 6 cores
RAM capacity is 8GB
Operating system version is 64 bit
Please confirm if this matches your requirements; if not, let me know so I can assist further. Thank you for your time ahead.

Hello... Have you verified your in-game graphic options? Occasionally an update can alter your standard or prior "good" settings... for instance, in SC2 it might switch my GPU/CPU to "Ultra" mode after an update... and I need to revert some to medium to boost FPS. B /

Yes, I consistently adjust the graphics configurations to the minimum to achieve the highest frame rate.

Hello... could it be that the new settings aren't activated with the MSI app? It's strange that a +845 memory boost didn't cause a crash, or that you don't notice any FPS changes in "heaven" B.

After modifying the sliders, I pressed APPLY and the GPU clock remained at 540 MHz while the memory clock stayed at 810 MHz. The voltage was 975 mV.

This app should work with your card... to read the current 3D settings on your card... would you like me to send a screenshot?

Improving your GPU won't significantly increase frame rates on H1Z1. This is because the game is heavily CPU-dependent. When you play H1Z1, your GPU isn't working at full capacity. I use the same processor as you and experience frame drops mainly in certain areas at 1080p. In cities, I usually see around 40 FPS, which is acceptable given I'm streaming during gameplay. Here are some tips:
1. Reduce render distance after landing. Keep it at 1500 while flying in, or lower it as you descend, or when hitting the ground to 500. Don't aim at anything beyond that.
2. Consider using a lower resolution. 1440x900 helps maintain higher frame rates.
