Wolfenstein New Order Terrible performance

Hello guys, i'm using relive 17.1.2 and windows 10, can't get better fps than this:

Spoiler

GPU usage is 32% btw

I tried literally everything: switching drivers, messing up with game settings, creating a folder for texture cache, renaming exe file etc. No luck unfortunately.

Is possible to play this game decently with an Amd card?

thank you in advance.

 

So low CPU and GPU usage?

Could be unoptimized openGL drivers or some other bottleneck.

What frequency is your system memory?

 

OGL and AMD cards just does not work. It was same with Doom the first week or so and then Vulkan came to save the day.

 

1333mhz

Ok i know this, is there no way i can play this game decently with a 280x? The first level i've never reached 60fps, 30-40fps range with absurd gpu usage. Is it so bad opengl + amd?

 

Yes, its so bad. Even a something like 750ti would probably outperform card like 280X.

Like i said, Doom was running the same 45fpsh range with OGL and with Vulkan its in 90's, same settings. Unbelievable i know.

 

New Order was ok at my end a few months ago with some tweaking for 1080p/60fps, but I couldn't force any kind of anti-aliasing on it. IIRC I had to set MAX PPF to lowest possible, drop shadow resolution and VT compress was on. Increasing FOV also caused fps drops. Old Blood on the other hand was much worse.

 

I posted this on Reddit once:

I hope you can do all these things. It is a shame these simple fixes were never fixed with a patch, but they helped for me and a lot of other people to finally properly enjoy the game. Enjoy!

 

Already tried guys, nothing to do, thank you anyway. I tried disabling msi afterburner, no luck.
I think the last thing i will try is to install this game on windows 7 and then i will uninstall it and buy ps4 version which at least runs 1080p60.

 

Your ram speed is very low dude.

I would go grab some 2133MHz+ sticks this can help more than you would think in games.

Also, is your CPU overclocked? Cause if not, it should be the 2500K overclocks like a beast and you should be able to get some free performance out of it with at least 4.4GHz.

Like others have said OGL with AMD cards is quite bad but doing these things can help ease the fps drops.

Also if I remember correctly these games had a setting called PPF or something similar. You are using a quad core CPU and this setting can be extremely taxing on the CPU the higher you set it. I would leave this on the lowest setting which I think was 16.

EDIT:

Oh and turn down shadows texture size too. This has quite a large impact on the CPU as well. With AMD cards you need to try and take as much stress away from the CPU as possible as AMD drivers has some nasty CPU overhead in DX11 and OGL games. By freeing some CPU performance you can allow it to feed more info to the GPU and in turn this should increase the fps.

 

I know for the Old Blood, I had completely terrible performance until I disabled AA completely, and then I could hold 60 fps just fine. This was with a R9 380.

So try that.

 

I just set up the game, and ran the first part of the game. You guys are right, what crap performance... on High I avg 45-50 fps. Tho you may be interested in playing with this:

It allows you to tweak your idTech5 games. Used it to unlock FPS to 75, which is achievable with Medium settings.

 

I guess you mean this one:

It was the same with Rage and Evil Within (both based on id tech 5) although Evil Within used OGL engine with DX11 emulated renderer so even though its not great it runs better for me.

Im glad they moved on becouse Id tech 6 is great as we see in Doom. I hope Quake Champions will use it as well.

 

Everything this guy says. Texture size at 2048 is plenty, please dont put this any higher. and that pff setting was also something I struggled with, put it on 16.

 

It's probably AMD drivers.I had Nvidia 550ti and it was all right on max settings+sweet fx at 1980x1080. on my 7850 on the same all others hardware(except monitor) it is terible.Lagging,stuttering at 1366x764 resolution.Try to rename WolfNewOrder_x64.exe to WolfNewOrder_x32.exe. it gave me some benefit only.

 

Btw this 1st mission is by far the hardest on your system, I have played it countless times to compare. I agree Amd does not do so well with this title for some reason.Would piss me off also!

 

I call that chart BS.

 

EDIT: Actually I was wrong, it's with an older processor. Hmm... now I'm confused. Maybe a later patch / drivers are the cause of the issues?

 

It is unplayable, it continues to fluctuate between 30 and 60 fps, with kb+m it's really annoying.
I tried all possible fixes included those you guys suggested, it's a shame because the game is really good, i think i will grab ps4 version.
Thank you guys anyway for the quick answers.
