Yeah as Projectjustice said SSD’s make no difference on PS4 lol. I bought a few Samsung EVO’s during black friday for my PC and one for my PS4. The PS4 one had 0 performance increase and I ended up taking it back to the store for a larger cap SSHD instead. I think PS4 is still SATAII as opposed to SATAIII so that might be why.
On another note, I figured out my issue with extreme slo-mo when playing in Windowed mode. For some reason the Nvidia driver/video card doesn’t think the game is a 3D application in windowed mode and so it throttles down the card to conserve power. When I ran another PC game simultaneously, windowed SFV speed up to normal even with both games running. Hope this is solved on retail :’(
You should be running your RAM at 800Mhz, get that done in the bios. Then run the game and see what kind of performance you are getting. With your 750ti you should be going for 1080p mid settings.
If you didnt know what a APU is ill explain. Its a CPU/GPU on 1 die. AMD created them for users that wanted more out of notebooks and laptops with intel intergrated bullshit. See the problem with your setup is that you have a AMD APU and a Nvidia GPU. You cant even crossfire the GPUs you have. So half of that APU isnt even being used. APUs arent really meant for gen 8 gaming. They work well with retro gaming. Desktop uses for them are small energy efficient micro itx setups.
Now if you are still having performance issues you are going to need to replace your APU setup entirely. Let me know if the changing your RAM speed helps. If it doesnt, ill link you towards your next move. Which will be a new motherboard and CPU.
Another thing to consider: if you want to upgrade your system and have it last a while, AMD CPUs haven’t really been that competitive for a few chipset cycles. In the long run you’ll get better bang for your buck if you go with an Intel i5. For example, the CPU I picked up in 2011 (i5 2500k) still outperforms what you’re using now. The i5 6600k is the current CPU in that spot.
You’re looking at a $250 CPU instead of a $100 one, but it will probably last you 4 or 5 years (at least) instead of one. The downside of this option is that you’ll want to change out your RAM as well.
Anyone notice that when you turn down Post Processing in the graphics settings that the framerate drops visibly? You’d think the opposite would happen.
Also, received the following error after closing the beta. Anyone else?
Edit: post processing thing makes me wonder if it was done to assist people with low PC settings, or if SF5 is natively a lower-fps game, and post processing is used to add movement blur and smooth out animation transitions.
Your A10 may be just fine, that bench number(look at my previous post) is 5500, much higher than others running the game fine including me on lesser CPU’s(passmark benchmark).
I think Your CPU is now much better, I would upgrade the video card at this point, that may be your bottleneck. GTX950 might work, or 960 would be preferred.
Edit read more below, your gpu should be able to handle it but not max the settings.
I doubt his CPU could run it cause if that was the case he shouldnt have any issues now. He has a 750ti which is more than enough to run the game at 60FPS.
That CPU is an APU which may be trying to shoulder some of the gpu load but not handing it well? I haven’t read up on apu’s much yet but this article was interesting in that it didn’t even mention ANY GPU so are these apu’s behaving different than a normal CPU… apparently it packs an r7 gpu with the CPU, maybe the game isn’t even using his gpu correctly?
Keep in mind sfv uses unreal engine as does bioshock infinite if you read the article.
Edit: just read you previous post, looks like that is the case, these apu’s sound weak so far, wasting good CPU resources on a crappy video card built in. I can see why it benches higher but performs worse now, the CPU part of the apu is still weaker.
Yea APUs are CPU and GPU on 1 die. They are designed for low power multimedia solutions. Right now he isnt even using his APU correctly cause hes using his 750ti for videocard purposes.
I think I understand a lot better now exactly what the problem with my current setup is. But I can actually still get a refund for the GEforce 750 and get an AMD just as capable :lol: . Though I seriously doubt that crossfiring it with the A-10 would make much of a difference if the processor is that comparably weak for the game. So getting a new motherboard and CPU as well would still be the best choice in the long run, wouldn’t it?
You are misleading him bad information. My rig is a AMD FX-8350 and i can run every game possible at max settings.
My help is for him to play SFV and save money at the same time. With a FX-6300 and 750ti combo he can play current gen games with a target performance above that of PS4. Since SFV is a fighter he can easily achieve 60FPS. Since he is using a 750ti his build obvious a budget gaming PC. Anything Intel will cost way more.
PS4 and XB1 hardware were never impressive to begin with. So not only will my suggestions allow him to play SFV at 60FPS and other current gen games better than PS4, it will also save him money.
It isn’t so much bad info as it depends on his goals.
If he wants to put in as little as possible and only wants to play SF5, then yeah, cheap out and go AMD. If he wants to enjoy other games more than a little better than a PS4, and also future proof a bit, then he ought to consider spending more.
A lot of times I find that people who do the “I only want to spend $150 on this upgrade” thing end up being disappointed with their rig a year later and ask for cheap upgrade options again. If you do the piecemeal little upgrade per year route, you never really are satisfied with your system. There is always some game that doesn’t run well, etc.
And let’s be honest: AMD CPUs in the 2000s were great bang for their buck. Now they’re just cheap. That’s fine for people on a budget, but they’re not for an enthusiast builder.
