I have an AMD 6970 and I only see usage maxing out around 75% but it usually hovers around 50%, which leaves me with about 30fps.

Any update on this? Been a while since anything new's been heard, and the patch made no difference. Still running at only 85% potentional, meaning I'm losing performence when it's needed.

for those of you with crossfire you need to disable crossfire for now for the best results. I have 2 x 5850's and it runs a hell of a lot better with one than two. TWI are in contact with AMD about it to see if they can solve it. As for low gpu usage on cards thats something else they need to look into.

I already stated that I use the gtx 470 and q9550, both overclocked. I noticed that for the first one or two rounds I get around 50%-65% gpu usage getting around 40-60fps, which is still low gpu usage, but it then drops over the next few rounds to around 30-40% gpu usage giving 30-40fps. It feels like a memory leak where performance drops over time.

I do believe that any non-crashing performence related issue is somehow related to this.

Same problem here! I got fps drops down to 16 fps, while my GPU load is 50% and my CPU load 75-80%... AMD 6000+, Radeon HD 4890, 3GB Ram. Even on low/medium settings this game isn

The menu runs at a 100% gpu constantly, by the way. Thats kinda funny.


Yea i have a same problems, in the menu, the gpu runs at 100%!!!! (ati hd 5770 catalyst 11.8) but then the game falls well...

gpu usage:20% on amd phenom II 1090t @3,2ghz


Wtf? :confused:

Another way I realized that the game isn't pushing my card hard is that my gpu's temperature stays in the low to mid 70's C whereas other games like BFBC2, Deus Ex, etc. keep my gpu temperature in the low 80's. You would think that a game that supposedly stresses my gpu, when looking at the performance, this much would cause my video card to heat up like those other games.

Same here and new maps are worse.

i7 930 @ 3.36ghz
GTX570

CPU usage never above 30%
GPU usage 40-80%, on new maps 55%avg old maps 70%avg


250fps and 100% GPU usage on the menu :p

My system (old but has served me well)

Q6600 @ 3.2
4 gigs ram
4890 1 gig

i know its an old card but can still hold its own at med/high settings in other games.

pre patch i was getting 25-30 in apartments, with 15-25 in FH

The new maps i spawn with 50-55, run twenty yards their down into the low teens, this is on med or low settings.

My gpu usage is averaging at about 30% with a high of 58%

Just ran the 'stat unit' command:

Frame 30-35
Game 16-20
Draw 10-12
Gpu 23

all approx, sorta lost the will to game:( can any body translate the above, so i can understand whats going on please.

So hope TW can get it sorted, realise im at the bottom end rig wise and do feel for you guys with top end kit, fingers crossed for a fix:)

I'm running

i7 950 @ 3.06gGHZ

4GB ram

2 X 460 GTX sli

my GPU usage is at around 40% in menu and game. I get around 38 - 50fps on high settings when I should be smashing through it on ultra. So yeah.

My fps seems to jump from 20-60 depending on map location. CPU and GPU never reaches above 50% usage, fps is terrible. Changing settings from Ulta down to Medium does not seem to help at all.

AMD Phenom II 955 @3.2GHz
8GB DDR3 @1600MHz
MSI HD6970 @940MHz / 1375MHz 2GB
V11.6 drivers
1920x1080 16:9
Vista 64bit

Needless to say any other games I can fun flawlessly, RO2 seems to be the only one I have low fps.

Same for me, since update got my FPS hovering between 20 and 60, most of the time rather 20-30, changing settings doesn't seem to help lot.

Q9550@3.8ghz
6950 2gb
8gb
11.8 drivers
Seven 64 bits.

GPU usage NEVER goes beyond 50% (stays around 34% most of the time) and the CPU barely goes beyond 70% (stays around 50-60% most of the time)

I don't mind my GPU usually running at 70% max.

What I do mind however that during gameplay it hovers from 50-80% This inconsistent, eratic GPU usage results in very choppy gameplay, sometimes even stopping the game dead when being shot, turning a random corner or having artillery fall at the other end of the map.

This really needs some fixing soon. At the very least before release.
