PC Specs Thread - We're out of beta now

Okay, something weird is going on here. I just upgraded my graphics card to a GTX 960 from a 750 and I still get slight FPS drops. It doesn’t seem to matter whether I have the graphics at the bare minimum or maxed out. My FPS still fluctuates between ~55 and 60. I don’t think the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU too badly because when I looked at the usage percentages with Afterburner, they weren’t anywhere near 90%. What gives?

[GLOBETRAHTER]

Since I don’t have a PS4, and trying not to get one for 1 game. What are some good cheap computer setups that you guys are using to play SFV smoothly etc.?

[Jazz_cat]

Ok I finally found a total solution to get the game to run off the GPU not the Intel HD

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\StreetFighterV\StreetFighterV\Binaries\Win64
(or where you game library is installed on your computer)

Right click properties.
Click the compatibility tab.
Check Run in Compatibility mode for Windows 7
Check Run as Admin.
Click Ok or Apply.

When you run the game now your nVidia card should now be being used.

Thankyou! Seems to be working well so far… Side note: in my case having run as admin checked gave errors trying to start the game. Only the compatibility mode needs to be on for dedicated GPU to start for me.

I spent more time at setting/trying to stop the in game slowdown that playing.
I have sometimes constant 60fps during match (at max setting) and suddently (sometimes just pausing the game) it starts the slowdown show.
What is very strange is that even after downgrading a lot ( every setting at middle range), it do the same sudden slowdown.

It felt somehow better after uninstalling some nvidia drivers yesterday but it’s irregular back and forth thing so difficult to say.
Add to that the servers shit make the game not playable for me at the moment.
I miss good old day when I only had to insert super famicom cardridge and could play for hours :’(

[carups]

Any of you having connectivity problems? It still takes me years to find matches and I can’t join any lobbies (it says they no longer exist) even though people can join mine if I invite them.
What is the best way to go about it so Capcom actually cares? Customer service or something, idk.

I’m having the same issues, if you play in offline mode your golden, but once you hit online mode…god forbid -_-. Just waiting for them to fix the servers i suppose

I’m currently sitting at 230,000 ish fight money. going to do all survival missions on normal and easy till then

[Jazz_cat]

Well as a previous person said, compatibility mode seems to only have a timed benefit… back to slowdown for me

[Shinkuu_Tatsumaki]

Is it normal for the game to keep jumping between 59-61 fps?

Yes.

Laptop specs. Note that using the “nvidia geforce experience” tool to optimize settings worked awesomely for me. Plays fine.

Ok PC guys, general question here since I’m fairly new to PC gaming (<6 months)

My graphics card in the middle of survival just randomly crapped on me. I restarted my computer and had to re download the latest driver and now everything is working fine but is this a sign my card is going to die on me? I really don’t want to buy another card if I can avoid it. Is there any programs out there that can test the health of a GPU?

You need to be more specific about the “crapping out” Did it display artifacts or did the screen freeze? Or did your pc just crash? It might have been a driver issue. Nothing a good Format C cant fix

runs like crap, i start out at 60fps for about 2 minutes then it steadily drops, even as i’m typing this it’s at around 30fps. any ideas?

[Sugami]

Nvidia Shadow Play is your best bet and it does almost zero performance hit. It comes with your drivers.

Do not use Fraps its going to hit your FPS hard.

I tried it, doesn’t seem to work SFV isn’t on the list of supported games (if that means anything).

Edit: Silly thing seems to work now, not sure why it didn’t before. Will do some extensive testing but it’s looking good

Intel Core i7 5820k CPU @ 4.5 GHz
16GB DDR4 3000 RAM
Gigabyte Galaxy GTX 980 Ti Overclocked

Runs smooth as butter at 1440P. Never seen lag once.

[Koumori]

SFIV was the first main game to allow for those really long and flashy combos,

That scale so fast that they don’t deal any damage and are painfull to watch since you see your characters life getting down one by one,while having to wait 40f+ for the next move of the opponent to connect.

Then I rather watch KoF HD Combos, they’re long flashy AND DEAL DAMAGE without wasting 2 minutes of my life.

Nobody worth their salt spends meter performing needlessly long combos that weren’t optimal damage (unless showing off). And 4 actually has less scaling than SF5, it just doesn’t matter so much in 5 because the combos aren’t anywhere near as extensive.

I find I can play on 1080p max settings fine, before upgrading the GPU I could play on medium settings.

Question to anyone who does any recording, what program do you use? I find Fraps causes considerable slow down in 1080 and I’m forced to drop the resolution to compensate.

Nvidia Shadow Play is your best bet and it does almost zero performance hit. It comes with your drivers.

Is that program only for nvidia people? Anything like that for an amd guy?

Actually there is, AMD gaming evolved app. Its pretty good too. It comes with your drivers.
