My FPS isn't perfect, but after the latest patch I can get up to 90fps and up to 90% gpu usage with my GTX 470 and q9550 (both oc'd) with vertical sync off and settings on high. Now it doesn't always stay that high, it fluctuates a lot (and I think the cause of this is the number of players on a map and artillery), but the fact that it even can get that high now shows that something did change and I don't think it's just the maps. My fps and gpu usage is certainly much higher on average than I ever experienced before.

Before the patch, no matter what I did, I could not get over 65% gpu usage and it mostly sat at around 35-50%.

your so funny. anyway, i wanted to point out that the games performance didnt increase, atleast for me. it might just be the new maps, but right now the game simpy runs terrible.

Oh and check your GPU usage with vertical sync off. I notice that if I keep it on my gpu usage percentage is much lower than when it's off. But perhaps that's only a factor if you're capable of getting over 60fps in the first place, but just try it anyway if it's on.

Okay, i found a solution by staring at the ground for 20 seconds. Guess i gotta let the map load before i move.

Haven't had any more or any less issues since the patch. Except the game crashes if I try to switch tasks.

what are your specs my man,cause i know i have my 2nd gpu disabled and tweaked some things in video setting and i see poor performance when arty hits,or people start shooting and not because the GPU is weak,but because of the GPU usage goes from 60% to 30% usage....There is something wrong there....

i have a system thats half of what some people on these forums have and im getting better framerates, somehow that makes me think ITS NOT the game, i should note though, that i freshly reformatted before beta, and have hardly anything installed except a few games.. actually alot of games now, and i didn't install over old drivers or anything, and i defrag once a week... but my specs are

AMD Phenom II x2 550 3.11ghz (yes a dual core is out performing x4's and x6's :/)

HD6870

and 4gb ram.

imo, its not the game, but the drivers, they was released before the beta was, so yeah... new drivers = better optimized

after downloading the patch all things come back to default, options, bindings, tweaks...

have you tried those tweaks posted on the support forum?

Im having no fps differences between any setting. GPU usage only 60% still though.
Produces 70-90fps on that map with 2 churches on. In ultra.
EVery other map - 30.

Do you have a program that can record GPU Core clock and/or usage while you are playing?

MSI Afterburner has this feature, simple to use, you dont need to use it to overclock.

It sounds like the card is not using the correct Core Clocks and is running in 2D mode.

Have you tried reinstalling the latest ATI driver?

Not saying your advice isn't good since some people have been experiencing issues with ATI powerplay (having the game switch between 2D/3D clock speeds). But there are those of us who don't have this issue and our GPU usage doesn't go above 50%. In previous games with this problem is has taken patches from the devs and hotfixes from ATI to fully solve the issue. My FPS isn't unplayable, anywhere from 40-100 FPS on High/Ultra, but the game would be much more enjoyable without the drops to 40fps.

It has chenged for me!!!!

gtx570
i5 2500k
4gb ram

1920x1080
everything on ultra ( fxaa high and shadows on high)

60 fps average
almost never under 50
sometimes 75-80

I want to get to rock solid 60 fps in the future!

I mean, it's not perfect but it's a first huge stone on optimization, continue polishing the game TWI :IS2::IS2::IS2::IS2::IS2:

Seems like they managed to get it working with Nvidia cards but not with ATI's.

got the same card as you and my 2nd is disabled.... also have the latest 11.8 drivers,When all runs smooth GPU usage is at 50%-60% FPS = 55-85 FPS(great!) ,when arty strikes,people shooting,me shooting ,smoke... the GPU usage drops to 25%-30% = 25-30 FPS especially on Pavlovs House map,over there is like bad GPU usage over all.

The GPU only works with 50% on average,on top of it I have another to CF which I have it disabled.Cant waith for the day when we get really good drivers overall for single card setup and dual.

What are your system specs?

AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor
CPU 3,22 GHz
4 Gb RAM

ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
1600x900

Like I said, I started to play the beta on Ultra, with no trouble (redoctoberfactory was the fist map when I feel a drop of fps). Since the last patch I tried to play in Low with 15-30 fps, but its very sad.

Now this:

2011-09-12_00004.jpg


PD: Between 15 and 30 frames per second when I'm lucky. The usual thing is a completly dead framerate after 10 minutes of playing. T_T plus the crashes, the laggy servers and the blank list of server browser (when refresh 2 times)... FRUSTRATING
