fix the performance

[u/Tenaxoxo]

its actually so ass why am I barely pushing 90 fps on outpost with all the lowest settings at 1440p

on arc raiders I get 240+ fps on ultra so what is this bs

[u/DivineSaur]

The cpu performance of the game is downright abysmal.

[u/Strange-Contract-440 → u/DivineSaur]

Because Bungie is still used their super dated Tiger engine. They are trying to use very old tech to make the game look modern which has it's limitations.

[u/dratseb → u/DivineSaur]

By design. At the time GPUs were costly so they made the game CPU heavy. Now everything is expensive

[u/DivineSaur → u/dratseb]

The game runs like shit on the best cpu out there, nice insane cope though.

[u/dratseb → u/DivineSaur]

People on this sub will tell you otherwise. Though I heard the PC side has been performing worse in season 2

[u/oOmegaOo → u/dratseb]

Source?

[u/this_smitty → u/dratseb]

This is some next level braindead cope. Poorly optimized games have been notorious for hammering the CPU forever. Pretending shitty optimization is actually some intentional design choice is fucking hilarious.

[u/cayde123]

My frames get worse on each map

Cryo has horrible performance for me, and outpost

[u/YeetYeetSkirtYeet → u/cayde123]

45-50fps on cryo fml

[u/Changes11-11]

Less than 100 fps on a 5080 w 7800x3d dlss ultra performance on 4k

For a game not even running raytracing is nuts

[u/VoodooF → u/Changes11-11]

Let's not talk about crossing Control in Cryo Archive 🫠

[u/SucculentMelon133 → u/VoodooF]

nah bruh the fucking dna card sequence with all the ADS is infinitely worse

[u/mikeshredz → u/Changes11-11]

Why on gods name are you playing a PvP game in 4k?

[u/Changes11-11 → u/mikeshredz]

I play this game for fun, I enjoy the visuals alot. 4K this game looks amazing and honestly, this game is so terribly optimized that swapping to 1080p doesnt even change the fps, maybe slight 5%. This game bottlenecks my gpu hard

[u/Letsueatcake → u/Changes11-11]

Gamers are insane

[u/Kvb239 → u/Changes11-11]

Agreed. I have a 9800x3d and get just a little higher but considering how beefy this setup is, it’s amazing how awfully optimized the game actually is.

[u/nokk1XD]

Bro, idk what are you talking about, but on my system 9070xt 5700x3d 32gb ram I have on first map like 140-160fps on ultra settings native 1440p.

[u/SucculentMelon133 → u/nokk1XD]

yes ur singular anecdotal experience invalidates the hundreds of complaints about cpu performance for this game.

just so u know, even ppl with nasa rigs and streamers dont even break past 180 fps even on medium settings at 2k.

[u/nokk1XD → u/SucculentMelon133]

May be because people cant make their „nasa” pc run correctly? I just have a lot of experience in pc building, configuration sub timings of ram and correct overclocking, all games for me run very smoothly. Btw, Im streaming as well.

[u/Tenaxoxo → u/nokk1XD]

Shouldn’t have to have experience in pc building and overclocking just to tune my pc for this game in order to get the FPS that I’d get in any other game without lifting a finger

[u/nokk1XD → u/Tenaxoxo]

Actually you should, the same goes with the cars for example. If you dont understand how cars work - you pay a person who understands. If you want your pc to run properly you overpay for prebuilt or pay someone who can build it for you. Apparently, most of the people dont know about xmp/expo and they play with stock ram. I have old cpu with old platform and it performs better than newer ones, that says something about knowledge, right? If you dont want to lift your finger then go for console, pc’s are for people with basic understanding of pc building.

[u/SucculentMelon133 → u/nokk1XD]

this is simply such a stupid argument, and im saying this as someone studying it/net engineering right now.

video games are a damn consumer product. marathon is not a complex sim game like flight sim where the average player can be inferred to have hardware experience etc.

this is a 40 dollar triple a game, u cannot defend a company like bungie having dogshit cpu optimization. And the fact that their recommended specs dont even hit 60 fps for many people, and they have a stupid laptop spec exception as well (which is unheard of for any triple AAA game) is sad. Their official cryo archive reveal stream with milo and skarrow9 had both streamers playing at bungie hq at on provided desktops, and they were hitting 40 and 50 fps. and then they were told to turn off their in game fps counter

i get that u looooove flexing ur pc knowledge man, and reddit is perfect for ppl like u but don't even try to frame an argument like this lmao.

[u/nokk1XD → u/SucculentMelon133]

Studying IT has nothing to do with pc building, Ive been hearing this stupid argument for over a decade. I personally know 2 friends of mine who been in it for 15 years and they literally noobs in pc, please stop using this phrase. Optimisation is not dogshit. Go play tarkov to see what is really dogshit optimisation. Im not flexing, its just true, people nowadays dont even know about basic stuff. For plug and play you have consoles, why you pick pc when you know nothing about it?

[u/Tenaxoxo → u/nokk1XD]

No I shouldn’t. You shouldn’t have to be an expert in a topic in order to purchase and use something to its best ability especially if it’s a product meant for entertainment and enjoyment. Sorry but ur wrong

[u/nokk1XD → u/Tenaxoxo]

Read again what I’ve written.

[u/Tenaxoxo → u/nokk1XD]

U edited it

And yeah I paid for everything to be done for me so why doesn’t this ONE specific game function like it’s supposed to? Cuz it’s ass

[u/nokk1XD → u/Tenaxoxo]

Thats why Ive said "read again what I've written" lmao. You new at pc gaming? Its always been like that, lol.

[u/StumbleuponDub → u/nokk1XD]

This guy's straight up trolling. Show me a single streamer running around Outpost with Ultra settings at 160fps. Can't stand liars.

[u/nokk1XD → u/StumbleuponDub]

I was talking about Perimeter location (I said "on first map"), not whole game, because Im just started playing, you know. On Perimeter Im getting 140-160fps Ultra Native. On Outpost 100-120fps, so I cant understand how the fuck streamers with high end rigs get lower than me, thats absurd. I can prove you my words if you dont belive me.

[u/SucculentMelon133]

game runs like ass and the ultra die hard fans with chase u with pitch forks and try to explain why u need a server grade cpu to run this game at least competitively to any other shooter on the market.

[u/Tenaxoxo → u/SucculentMelon133]

Yeah I have 430 hours and I really tried to look past it but I’ve had enough

[u/SucculentMelon133 → u/Tenaxoxo]

dude thats hella impressive. ive got 200 hours, and i just have weeks on end where i just rage quit b/c i cant humbly take an L when im gettign 48 fps on perimeter with random ass drops. u just feel like a fucking sloth when under 60 fps in this game.

[u/Letsueatcake → u/SucculentMelon133]

I have a ryzen 7 I get 120+ frames everywhere

[u/Deep-Acanthaceae-659 → u/SucculentMelon133]

I’ve never seen anyone defend the performance. One of the biggest things holding this game back imo

[u/oOmegaOo → u/Deep-Acanthaceae-659]

Uhhh you must not get on reddit much lol

[u/SucculentMelon133 → u/Deep-Acanthaceae-659]

see my post history in this sub and the comments i get. its ridiculous

[u/Zrawte-]

It doesn’t even look better than D2 while performing significantly worse with a smaller map WITH DLSS ON TOO is crazy cause D2 doesn’t even have upscaling features

[u/mangdito]

The game is cpu bound, if you're lowering the graphical settings odds are it's not helping you at all if you have a decent gpu. You should mess around with the settings in game to compare and see the FPS difference between high & low

[u/pasyie]

The only game where I dont see an increase in performance while lowering resolution. When Im at home I play 1440p on an external monitor and I get 70-90 fps. When I travel I lower to 1080p because of the laptop monitor limitations and I have the same amount of frames

[u/vincentofearth]

Players have been complaining about perf since launch. I guess I’m lucky I happen to have a machine that can run the game decently without weird issues but based on the amount of complaints I’ve seen it’s borderline unacceptable how badly the game runs. Months into the launch my game was still crashing after being open a few hours which was probably due to a memory leak. Ironically if the game did manage to retain players they still wouldn’t be able to play because the game runs so poorly.

[u/hi_there_is_me]

I play on ultra settings on a mid range setup and I get 90 FPS. On a rare occasion it drops to 60, but it doesn’t happen often

[u/Dismal-Stable9024]

Make the game run smoothly on an RTX 3060 so that more players join.

[u/biggestpos]

3080ti and 5950x here, 32 gigs at 3200 mhz and I hover in the mid 50s most of the time, sometimes hitting 65 but rarely.

This is all settings at their lowest except anisotropic filtering with DLAA - the lower quality DLSS settings barely improve FPS if at all, and make the game a soupy mess where it's harder to spot players.

[u/slowcrostic]

my rig is a little above recommended specs, i have a ryzen 7 5700 and the game struggles so hard to keep 60 fps even below 1080p

[u/KodaBuns]

no yeah my frames in this game are ABYSMAL compared to other modern titles. my CPU is struggling here

[u/PvtToaster]

in what universe is 90fps something to complain about

[u/Resident_Simple5858]

I upgraded my gpu for this game...lmao....:(

[u/VisualOptions]

Seems performance is getting worse with each update? I used to not have any FrameGen visible lag but now on Cryo, some places just have the worst stutters from FrameGen. Love the game though. Damn Bungie fix it!

[u/ButterKnights2]

There are a couple gpu performance losses by switching to full low. I need to keep the ai frame prediction thing and go from 40 to 110 fps. This also fixed my audio taring that happens at like FPS. Play around with each setting

[u/TheDiamondSquidy]

Getting 90 fps on an i9-12900k is a joke. Overclocking would probably not even help since this game is so thread hungry

[u/slowcrostic]

im late to the post but im running it with an rx 6600 and a ryzen 7 5700 32gigs on 768p and the game struggles to keep 60 fps most of the times. my cpu and gpu usage are really low, cpu sometimes even going down to 30 percent. i dunno what to do because ppl with my same specs get much better performance and the game actually uses the cpu and gpu. i havent played even 20 hours because of this

[u/fx72]

game is also capped at 8000 texture memory in 2026.

still runs like shit.

ruining games to compensate for shitty console hardware, cause they're too lazy to add better textures for PC, even embark did it.

[u/Jazzcat95 → u/fx72]

Txtures have nothing to do with why it "runs like shit". The game is CPU bound.

[u/fx72 → u/Jazzcat95]

it means the game LOOKS like shit.

[u/Jazzcat95 → u/fx72]

How is that related to anything that was said in the reply chain? Go practise basic reading skills.

[u/fx72 → u/Jazzcat95]

why are you taking so much offense to my additional comment tagged with an "also."

if you are this triggered to insult people over a harmless comment you don't have much going on in your life, mb.

[u/im_down_w_otp]

The performance for me has gotten worse with every update. I came back from vacation, installed the latest update, and I’m getting 15-20 fps lower than the version of the game that was from ~2 weeks ago.

[u/Pepperoneous]

plays fine on my ps2

[u/DCR-Noodle]

Pc master race ??runs great on my series x

[u/Jazzcat95 → u/DCR-Noodle]

What is fine? barely 60 fps on outpost.

[u/SucculentMelon133 → u/DCR-Noodle]

lol push that fov slider to the max. u cant even get a stable 60 fps on xbox lmao. so sad that bungie couldn't even get a 120 fps mode in the big 2026 on console, when they did it for d2 in 2021 itself.

[u/Leading_Baker2743]

the legendary Tiger engine marastans were bragging about 

[u/SucculentMelon133 → u/Leading_Baker2743]

lmao nobody ever bragged about the tiger engine. shits been an issue since d2 post beyond light at the very least.

also the game engine engineer from the 2023 vidoc seemed to just completely disappeared. dk if he got moved to a diff project by sony b/c i have no idea what engine changes they made for marathon besides all the net recover and server infra.

[u/Important_Design_904]

Don't even expect them to fix it. Expect people telling you to get server grade cpu to run it at least decently
