You're experiencing a significant CPU strain when playing with more than five ships in-game.
You're experiencing a significant CPU strain when playing with more than five ships in-game.
It looks like you're focusing on the software side, but it seems to point toward a driver-related problem instead of a hardware one.
I observed a decrease in my typical frame rate from 55-60 fps to around 45 fps during heavy AI usage. That’s not too bad, I only notice it when I’m actively checking. I haven’t really looked into GPU or CPU performance before. Right now I’m using a 2600k at 4.6 GHz, a 780ti overclocked to 1200 MHz, with 2560x1440 resolution.
I don't expect a CPU issue because the game supports DX12/Mantle, so any bottleneck should disappear soon.
