New PC terrible for ET?

[Smashy]

So I finally upgraded my computer, I was playing on a intel arc and hated it.  Played ET decent though.  Anyway, I now have a skytech shiva 2.  Nvidia RTX 4060, w/ I7 12700, 32gb ddr4 @ 3200 Mhz.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Legacy

In theory there shouldn't be any problems.

 

Anyway, If so, write here and send screenshots

From Nvidia control panel, turn the threaded optimization Off for Et. Other than that, you should be more than good with those specs

What exactly are the problems: low average framerate or an unstable framerate (framedrops)? What is your targeted framerate (com_maxfps in the console) and what framerate do you actually achieve?

I can get full frame rate, I keep it at 165 since that’s my monitor refresh rate. I’m thinking it’s running smoother and I’m just not used it 😳 must be used to over compensating.  I started with fresh config this morning and added stuff little by little and it’s working better. I just have to work out the flow I want, I guess.

I did this and it helped a lot!

You could also set

 

Low Latency Mode - Ultra

Max Frame Rate - Off obviously

Power Management Mode - Prefer Maximun Performance

 

Don't forget to check https://antman.info/wolf/cvar/

Also, with newer Nvidia drivers there is "Vulkan /OpenGL preset method" this must be set to "prefer native". If not, you will get ~30% fps reduction in ET.

Is that on my NVIDIA or is that via game?

You’re talking a whole different language to me. I do dogs and cats, sometimes bunnies and reptiles 🤣

Must be a Windows thing. I don't see that in Linux/Nvidia X Server Settings

Max Frame Rate is in your CFG

Maximum Power Mode is in your Windows Settings. Google it.

Not sure where Low Latency Mode is

Everything is in Nvidia Control Panel. I would set Low Latency Mode to Ulta in global settings and Power management mode and Max frame rate for Legacy/Et only. Vulkan / OpenGL is also in Nvidia control panel but i have my settled in auto. I have to try native option to see if i see any changes

I just found that the mouse I got with said computer is going downward everytime I click the button, so that could be why I’m sucking way more than usually despite the badass PC.
