Evolve stuttering on my Asus 770

[Nomy]

Anyone else having trouble running Evolve fluidly? It keeps stuttering for me at certain points in the game making it simply unplayable for me.

I went to check my GPU activity log and indeed, it's showing sudden spikes to 0% usage. It can't be throttling due to temperature considering it never went over 73°C.

Any thoughts? Is my system(specs in signature) incapable of running this game fluidly on a 1920x1080 monitor with tesselation off and AA on default.

 

Made a screenshot of the GPU monitoring software, what do those spikes to 0% GPU usage represent? Something bottlenecking my system's performance?

I had some problems running it too, try to turn down anti aliasing if it isn't already, also the option "tessellation" seems to cause ALOT of frame drops, try turning that off.

 

Even when i ran it at medium settings and 1080p i was still getting some frame drops, but a lot less.

 

So yeah you kinda have to deal with it this alpha, most people seem to experience this.

take a look a the mhz curve.

This Alpha hasn't been fully optimized yet. It's something devs do late in the development process. So that's why. Medium settings 1080p seem pretty playable to me (GTX 660, 4670K).

happened to me also i just turned down the settings a bit

I dont really have any stuttering tho.... Check your CPU usage at idle and while playing evolve

I got zero frame drops at 1080p medium, FXAA on, Tesselation off with my 660ti so it can't be your system lol. 

What settings are you playing on?

Sorry for the late reply, at first I had everything max'd except the AA(remained on default).

Now I've retried the game with the following settings, AA: none Tesselation: off V-sync: on and the graphics at high.

Same unplayable stuttering gameplay, made a ss of MHz curve as Rheinwasser requested. Nothing unusual with the CPU load.

Next try will be at medium settings.

Drop down the graphics to medium dude, I had unplayable stuttering on high. Maybe it's the 2GB Vram. 

Yeah went to medium, works like a charm now.

It kinda stutters on my Gigabyte 770 too, but very rarely. I have everything on very high and aliasing on with no v sync.

I have tesselation on, AA on default and everything else on high I believe.. And my GTX680 can run it just fine. So the 770 shouldn't really have any problems.

GTX 670 and an i5 2500k sadly not overclocked yet and I had to turn it down to medium cuz on the highest setting it was totally unplayable.  On medium I had no performance hits whatsoever.  The resolution I was playing at was 1920x1080p btw.

The older a card is and the more established the driverbase, (down to a certain point ofc where hardware becomes a limitation) the better it will run games that are in early alpha.

 

My GTX 470 was smashing 770s and 780s up and down the street in the first release of the Star Citizen hangar, for example. Now it's been soundly overtaken.

 

But this is every game ever. I've been in so many MMO alphas where this exact thing happened. It's nothing new.

 

OT: Yes, I have slight fps drops every 3-4 minutes on very high on my GTX 760, not as bad as you seem to make it sound though, maybe it's my 4.8Ghz 3570K, SSD installation or 16GB RAM
