Dyling light issues

Techen · 15 Mar 2015 at 18:06

Hey fokes, Am using low FPS issues with Dying light.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.7Ghz
GPUS : 2 X 980s watercooled.
Windows 8.1

Sli and Non SLI make zero dent in FPS, Am going to go with it's "Just the game that's broken" however checking google a lot of people claim that the main issue is there computer isn't good enough for it. Clearly mines is.

My FPS range from 20 fps to 60fps, Jumping a lot.

I also run G-sync but never really changes if it's on or off.

That's quite strange considering you have 2x980s.

I've got 2xGTX Titans in SLi and I've overclocked my monitor to 85hz. I'm now using v-sync and get a quite steady 85fps.

Have you updated your graphics drivers?
What about file validation?

Techen · 15 Mar 2015 at 18:22

I had problems with updating graphics drivers, I tried it and got a blue screen, Ran DDU and it refused to install drivers. Had to go through hell before windows finally gave in and reinstalled GPU drivers.

After that there is still no change in FPS.

I'll try a steam validtation but I doubt it will help. Is that a 85fps at max settings?

snips86x · 15 Mar 2015 at 18:30

So the drivers installed ok now?

Yes, max settings with he fps capped to the refresh rate. I get close to 100fps without usinf vSync!

Do you have a cpu overclock?

take vsync off and see how that works

snips86x · 15 Mar 2015 at 18:42

Re-reading your OP it sounds very much like a driver issue. I would remove the overclock (may be causing BSOD), uninstall nVidia drivers (Revo Uninstaller) followed by running DDU.

Reboot and re-install with a fresh download.

V sync makes no difference

Cpu is overclocked from 4.0 to 4.7ghz

Yeah, driver issue for sure!

Try the above and report back! I know it's a pain but it's a clear indication they didn't install correctly!

Drivers made no difference.

Did you do the above?

Assuming SLi is enabled?

Have you tried low and high settings in game to see if there is a difference?

Techen · 15 Mar 2015 at 18:55

Revo ddu yep... all the same.

SLI as enabled as in the photo you can clearly see the game using both GPUs.

Running different settings still gives me bad FPS. Settings do nothing.

I presume this is the retail steam release patched to latest version?

Heisenberg · 15 Mar 2015 at 19:11

You tried lowering view distance? Makes a massive difference and doesn't hardly effect IQ

Yes sir.

In that screenshot, Its pretty much as low as it goes.

Heisenberg · 15 Mar 2015 at 19:23

Definitely something not right then. I've got everything maxed except the view distance to about a third up and it doesn't drop below 60fps. Following on from what Snips said, it sounds like a driver issue or something else up with your system. Every other game playing fine?
