Not Hitting 60fps

[SigmaPlayzYT]

So i was playing Oxygen Not Included the other day and i noticed that i don't hit 60 fps, so i opened afterburner and checked my CPU, GPU and RAM usage and everything ran at below 100% and ram was well below maximum usage so i don't really understand why i still don't get 60 fps in game. I think it is a bottleneck but if so where?

 

The game is installed on a Windows RAID 0 (please don't hate me) array with 2 drives in it.

 

CPU: I5 9600KF

GPU: GTX 1660 Super

RAM: 16gb 3000Mhz CL15

its a poorly optimized game, or its latency issues

[kimser]

driver problem might be too, since the gpu won't hit 99%. had a simeler problem on my 5700xt was solved by a secondary powerlead from the psu and not using the y split on the cabel. but you have nice temps so i think an driver problem

What kind of latency are you talking about?

I have updated my graphics driver but that doesn't seem to help at all.

did you do a fresh install of the driver? DDU and then download driver from nvidia?

I just went in to geforce experience and downloaded the latest game ready driver. I did not do a fresh install

[kimser]

try DDU and then reinstall, download the driver file first from nvidia and then disconect from internet so windows update dont interfer with the install, might work,

Not familiar with the game. But have you checked what other users are getting fps wise?

 

It could be the game itself.

I have DDUed the driver and reinstalled it but that hasn't made any improvements.

I've seen Markipliers series of the game and he has a bigger colony with more people but still recording in 60fps so i don't really know right now.

One thing i could try is to run the game through geforce experience (i dont think it will make a difference but ill try it) or ill reinstall the game on my SSD.

I don't think its the game because this game ran at this kind of framerate on my Athlon A6 laptops IGPU.

I did a quick search and on the developers forum theres people with 1070's and 1070ti's with low fps, sounds like a game issue

I found this guy who stated that the memory has too much work to do with each cell so that it cant keep up.

 

"If the bottleneck is indeed memory access time for converting the game map into something for the GPU to work on, then CPU, GPU or resolution shouldn't really matter. RAM and motherboard is what really matters here. Given how big the impact is, it seems moving budget from GPU to RAM could result in a higher framerate in some games even though the computer doesn't get more expensive from doing that." I found another guy saying that most systems hit a 30fps wall due to memory latency bottlenecks. I guess ill have to try to overclock my ram to get higher frequencies and lower timings.

Sorry, latency is the wrong word. I mean more along the lines of high resource usage, Just like WoW raids.  Simple game, but with lots going on, its taxing on a system.  In addition to poor optimazion

I went and overclocked my memory from 3000Mhz to 3200Mhz and i apparently wasnt running xmp so my ram was running in CL17 before but now its running in CL15, didn't help that much tho but 3-5fps for free is nothing to complain about.
