Recently i bought XFX Rx 6800XT Merc model for asa. But it seems that cpu is creating bottlneck. Ryzen 7 2700x. Since i use linux pop os and this game is unfortinetly windows only i use proton ge to run it. (Ark survival evolved had native support and i bought rx 5700xt for it and it run like a charm on my linux desktop 🥹) But game doesnt run all that good. It is playeble but it was playeble also with my previous Sapphire Rx 5700xt nitro+.
I bought new gpu to run game better but as i can tell gpu used 50% on lov setting. And up to 80% on other settings. But i want better fps and want to use gpu at 99% ofc…
Mangohud is showing me fps and stuff.
So i copied some thinker commands from proton db site that should make game run better and it looks like it is running better now but still not using my gpu at full potencial.
Best settings in the game that i figuered out for now are simply eppic and than i put render distance on lov. Like this game runs fine and have great graphics. But i wander is cpu the problem, and would Ryzen 9 5950x be enough to make my gpu run at 99%…? My motherboard is Msi B450 tomahavk max. Have 64GB of ram.
First and second gen Ryzen aren’t that powerful in single thread performance so they more often become a bottleneck. But luckily you are on AM4 platform, so a used 5000 series CPU and a BIOS update should do the trick.
In the meantime you could set a frame limit, that might help with stutters and CPU utilization.
I’ve given up on running ASA using a 5900x and a 10gb 3080, cuz I can barely get a stable 40fps at 4K with clouds turned off and the settings as low as I can tolerate them (including upscaling turned on). If you’re playing at a lower resolution you’ll obviously have a much better time with it than I do, but fair warning this game is just unoptimized as fuck.
My performance is entirely gpu-bound, but that’s also what you’d expect at 4K so if you run 1080p for example a 5000-series cpu would probably give you a big jump in performance. A 5950x, 5900xt, 5900x, 5800xt, etc would be a really nice upgrade from your current cpu and with a bios update your board should support them all. If you’re able to find one, a 5800x3d or 5700x3d would be ideal if this is a purely gaming pc for you, though they’re not as powerful for productivity stuff.
The only other thing I’d check out is just to see if you have vsync enabled / a framerate cap, your gpu usage being low is probably just from the cpu bottleneck but those two things can also cause it
Yea im runing it in 1080p and even in that rez it take 11GB of vram. So 4k with 10GB gpu isnt going to give you good time probably as you saw. No this isnt just gaming pc, its more of a general purpose pc. Tnx for advice i will probably purchese Ryzen 9 5950X
Womp womp, bad game runs bad
Well survival evolved also was running bad on intel i3 6100 and gtx 950 2GB so meaby this game also needs more powerfull hardvare to run good.
