Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 poor performance, adjusting settings barely affects framerate

[sstarc]

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has very poor performance. Adjusting settings barely affects framerate. Yes, I updated to the newest drivers. Are driver improvements still being worked on, or is this as good as it's going to get?

specs:

motherboard: B650 GAMING X AX

OS: Windows 10 pro

GPU: A770 LE (16GB) with driver version 32.0.101.5989

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000 CL36

Hello sstarc,

Thank you for reaching out and providing your system specifications. We understand your concern regarding the performance of Warhammer, 40,000: Space Marine 2 and that adjusting setting has minimal impact on improving framerate.

To assist you better with the performance issue, kindly issue the following questions and provide necessary details.

• Could you provide a screenshot or list of your current in-game graphics settings?
• Please provide a video of the low performance you are experiencing using CapFrameX

Numbers and statistics speak a universal language so when submitting your bug to Intel try capturing the following information:

1. Describe the performance issue as best as you can.

• Per example: FPS drop when entering ‘x’ or ‘y’ section.

1. Provide screenshots or describe the graphics settings used in-game.

• Per example: Ultra quality preset, video resolution, ray-tracing on, etc. etc.

1. Submit CapFrameX capture data (.json files) reproducing the issue. 

• Capture data at least 3 times to define a good performance baseline.

About CapFrameX

This is a 3rd party tool for frametimes capture and analysis based on Intel's PresentMon. The overlay is provided by Rivatuner Statistics Server (RTSS).

CapFrameX Installation instructions:

1. Go to https://www.capframex.com/download and download the latest version of CapframeX.
2. Go to https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/rtss-rivatuner-statistics-server-download.html and download the latest version of RTSS.
3. Unzip both installers and install them.
4. Launch CapFrameX and then close it. This is so it creates the user Configuration folder.
5. Download and unzip the file OverlayEntryConfiguration_0.json (attached in this post) with the recommended RTSS configuration.
6. Paste this file to %userprofile%\Documents\CapFrameX\Configuration.
7. In the Capture tab, set the "Capture time" to 0. This is to remove the preset limit in capture time.
8. In the Overlay tab, uncheck "Auto-Disable OSD" and click the save icon.

Capturing the Performance Data:

1. Open CapframeX and do NOT minimize or close it.
2. Open the game and go to the part of the game you need to be to reproduce the issue. You should see the RTSS overlay in the top left corner of your screen, with the status "<game name> ready to capture…".
3. Press F11 to start capturing data and reproduce the issue. The Status in the overlay will change to "Recording frametimes XX s".
4. Once you have reproduced the issue, press F11 to finish the data capturing. The Status in the overlay will change to "Processing data".
5. Back to CapFrameX, you can find all the data captures in the left panel of the Analysis tab. Clicking any one of these captures will display the results on the right.
6. To export the data captured as a JSON file, right click the capture and click on "Copy/paste recording file(s)".

Finally, upon checking it seems that your driver is currently outdated. Please see Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows*. Please let me know if you are still experiencing low performance upon updating your driver.

We look forward to your response!
