The game might feel a bit sluggish at times.
Hey there! Your PC seems to be handling the Space Engineers world smoothly at 1080p with fullscreen and normal graphics. The slowdown happens only with complex environments, dropping to around 25-30 FPS. Your CPU and GPU temperatures stayed well below 60°C, which is great. Since the game is in Alpha mode, it isn't fully optimized, but your temps aren't high enough to cause major issues. Maybe try adjusting settings further or checking for background processes? Let me know if you need more tips!
It seems the game uses more CPU power compared to other systems, so I’ll attempt it after work when performance is better.
It seems you're trying to explain why a 7790 card isn't as powerful as one might expect. The core design is similar to an R7 260x, which means it won't overheat significantly under load. The processor is average, so it might just be the bottleneck in certain situations. In complex environments, frame rates could drop noticeably, but not as much as on higher-end cards. You might see around 30-40 fps in simple scenarios, while a more powerful card could hit 60-70 fps, but at lower framerates the difference isn't as stark.
The game is still in early access and I'm facing the same problem in complex environments. Even minor events cause noticeable FPS drops, which isn't unique to me. It's pretty frustrating when large constructions—something that shouldn't be so demanding—slow things down. However, it seems to have improved in recent updates!
I plan to upgrade to a Broadwell or GTX800 next year, which means I’ll see a performance boost and some optimization updates. Regarding power supply, a 450W unit should work well for a solid GTX 800 card—similar to the more efficient models like the GTX 760/770 or even the GTX 860/870.
