Game Master GM Crumpet Posted April 16 Game Master Share Posted April 16 I'm currently running a 32GB ram 32 core AMD Threadripper with a NVidia RTX 4060TI. The game is really pretty 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Currently running a GeForce RTX 3060, 64GB ram, yada yada that I built late 2022. Before that, I had fallen back to running on a 2012 laptop with 8GB ram which was surprisingly working alright at low settings, but it was a pretty big improvement.

Was looking at Threadripper and Epyc. Couldn't justify the price increase. Even a 16 core/32 thread 5950x is already grotesquely powerful. 1 If you want to be godlike, pick anything.

I thought I had the graphics set to max. When I installed this time it asked if I wanted to use a new setting for Ultra graphics and I chose that. I have no idea how old Ultra mode is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game doesn't even need that. I'm on an i7-8700K but with a RTX4080. GPUs are just so much easier to upgrade and for the most part, even the latest games are doing just fine still for me because I don't play at ludicrous refresh rates. Once I turn up every graphics setting in a game, it usually maxes out the GPU before the CPU and I'm still north of 60fps with variable refresh rate smoothness. ... except for CoH. Most of the time, it's fine. But with Ultra Mode and everything turned up it will run into framerate problems in some zones or with large crowds of players/enemies. Like, it'll be going 120fps in one zone and then go to Atlas or Cap Au Diable and for some reason in places it will chug down into the 30s or 40s. And it REALLY doesn't like me trying to go 21:9, so I am currently playing letterboxed at 16:9. I assume it's CPU limited and probably not using more than one or two threads. But I haven't bothered to fire up a CPU overlay to check it. I am long overdue to replace everything outside of the GPU. Probably with a PC built around a Ryzen 7800X3D.

I appreciate you sharing this - I too have the 8700K CPU and I've been debating whether upgrading my GPU (currently a GTX 1080) to a 40 series would make any noticeable impact on my gaming experience with CoH. Sounds like we have the same framerates - what display resolution are you using? I'm hitting the same frames at 1440p. Pocket D Zone Tour Best Post Ever....

UltraAlt Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 48 minutes ago, DougGraves said: I have no idea how old Ultra mode is If I remember correctly, on of the big changes they made with the graphics when Going Rogue was developed/released was that Ultra Mode could then be used if your computer was able to handle it. I'm not sure if it was "Ultra Mode" or not, but whatever graphics update they were talking about doing, my computer couldn't handle it. I wasn't the only one either. There was a lot of talk on the forums about it as NCSoft was talking about upgrading all the graphics in the game to whatever the graphics update standard was which would have meant that you couldn't play the game unless your computer could handle that graphics standard. At least that's the way that I remember it, but that was a good while back. I think everything winked out existence there for a while or something ... If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about memory? I'm at 32GB of DDR4 3200MHZ RAM. I can't tell what actually gets bottlenecked from CoH - is it a game engine limitation?? Pocket D Zone Tour Best Post Ever....

At some point I will probably try going through settings again with some perf monitor overlays up to see who's getting maxed out. I am guessing the game just can't use all the cores so it's probably maxing just one or two of them and idling the rest. Ultra Mode, old as it is, is also probably doing things in software that the GPU could do in hardware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperstrike Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 My current rig is a 16 core (32 virtual core) AMD CPU with 64GB of RAM and an RT 3070 Ti. All drives are PCI-E M.2 SSDs. Running 3x 4K monitors in Portrait mode with desktop fusion. Essentially running 6K-ish resolution. Currently unless I'm running more than 6x FSAA, I don't really see a problem, but I don't really notice much more at that high a resolution, so no real need to step "up" to "Stupid" mode.
