6 fps 12900KF cpu at 6-10%

Post by Omni-Orb » Wed, 7. Sep 22, 11:04

My system is:
CPU: i9-12900KF
GPU: 3080ti

With all graphic settings to off or low and resolution 1920x1080 i loaded a 'dense empire save' from the post about cpu scores in the other post here on the forum.
My fps is at a completely steady 6fps doesnt move up or down, and cpu is at 6-11% usage mostly 6-7% usage. And from what i see from another that had ca the same cpu it had at least over 40 fps.

What am i missing here?

The first thing you're missing is providing a link to the save. ;)

Sorry. Here it is: https://easyupload.io/h2kxho and thank you for helping :)
It's not my save i found it in the CPU score thread.
Even if i have 2500 hours in the game i never got to have a 'dense empire' like the one in this save.

When comparing with results from the CPU score thread make sure you are using the same DLCs and same version as the one the results were posted for. Newer versions and newer DLCs have much reduced performance due to drastic changes to the game universe, some transient others more permanent.

This is to be expected. It is a 16 core CPU. The more cores that are used the slower the cores run due to how Intel boost works. As such even if not all the processor is being used you are still getting some value from it due to the higher boost.

Retested 12900k
Windows 11, same 720p res, same 5.10 beta

DLCs: SV, COH
Dense Empire Empty test is broken. It spawns inside Heart of Acrimony II

Dense Empire Empty: 108-117
Dense Empire: begins with 27-31, after ~2 min its floating 21-24
Young Gun Empty: 155-157


DLCs: SV
Dense Empire Empty test is broken also

Dense Empire Empty: 108-123
Dense Empire: begins with 27-31, after ~2 min its floating 23-25
Young Gun Empty: 160-163

Testing without E cores maybe I'll do later
Here is the thread: viewtopic.php?f=146&t=427248
The save i get 6 fps on is 'Dense Empire Empty' although it doesn't spawn in an empty sector anymore its heart of acrimony II.
On the save: 'Dense Empire' i get about 25-30 fps and CPU is around 17%.
When i load 'dense empire' and then teleport to the same location as 'dense empire empty' I get around 105 fps CPU 17%, it's not a problem for me however I thought I should report it.

You need to use the same version and DLCs as the other results to get comparable frame rate numbers. You can do this by using the steam/gog Branch feature to select legacy stable builds.

I tryied this save too.
You was spawned inside the ship, like me.
I also have 6FPS with 6-10% CPU :)

Press tab for 0.5s to escape.

I got 107fps with 12-16% cpu usage

This solved it. Thank you for that, im still getting used to the new pc, i was hoping it would run even the dense empire, and it does very well outside the crowded sector, some lag in sector where the massive factory is however completely playable for what it is.
