Hello,
Let me start off by posting my computer stats.
Case: Coolermaster Haf X
CPU: Intel I5-4690k @3.50ghz
M/B: AsRock Z97 Extreme9
Ram: 16gb (2x8gb) GSkill Trident 2400MHz
GPU: 1x Gigabyte Radeon R9 280
Main SSD is Adata SX900
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 700w
I've been playing the game with my CPU tuned at 4.00 using AsRock's autotuning feature as well but i sit around a 62fps give or take a few fps.
As the waves go on my FPS drops obviously due to the blood and bodies on the map.
But as the game goes on im dropping significantly, im dropping down to about 30fps or less. The more people in the server the lower i drop.
What i'm wondering is if this is normal, im running a pretty powerhouse PC and wouldnt expect to have such drastic frame drops.
I am of course running on ULTRA at 1920x1080.
Are there things i could potentially turn off that would have little or zero visual changes? After playing killing floor since the unreal mod im pretty excited for the excellent graphics and i dont want to skimp out if i dont have to.
Initially i did change some of the graphical settings around in the .ini file, specifically body count and blood to really experience it and it ran okay in solo due to the smaller amount of zeds, but once i hit wave 7 playing with 5 other people the lag was intolerable and i couldn't play in the area with the admittedly 500-700 dead bodies lying around haha.
I eventually lowered all of the settings again to compensate and that did improve FPS but still not to the point it should be at, so i completely deleted the .ini file and thats how i receive the FPS i've detailed prior.
