Tera on GTX 1080 Ti Help

SaitamasamaSaitamasama
in TERA PC - General Discussion
Does anyone use a GTX 1080 Ti? I'm curious why my fps still drops to < 20 during mobs in SS or LK.

    The game is CPU bound, so it really depends on your CPU.

    The GPU will not see much use by default. What you can try to do is increase the graphical settings to try to put a more heavy GPU load, but unless you have a 5Ghz 7700k, you will get 20 fps, sadly.

    That's weird, cuz my laptop is 4 years old running 1.4 ghz gtx 760. fps is the same as my current desktop running at 4.2 7700k gtx 1080 ti.

    games runnin on UE 3(like tera or bns) have very high CPU usage even more when its combined with a mmo and they dont use all the cores mostly use single core an i5 from current generations should run this game like a charm also it helps with emulators like cemu or citra or dolphin 4 birds with 1 stone :)

    It's UE3 and the old Scaleform UI build TERA uses.

    You can try and use CPU-Control,kinda outdated since its only for quads max,but you would be able to force 4 cores for the game to jump on,I found out the hard way that this game stays on only 1 core and windows cpu management doesn't move or help this game to use the rest.
    I used to play on a core 2 duo and with 1 core was terrible 20 fps @ preset 3 with all of the other stuff turned off,forced 2 for the game same preset and the game was playable with 24 fps in dungeons but horrible PVP,with 4 I can play with prest 3 dungeons and all but still suffer cause of bad outdated UE3 core.I play WoT that uses Scaleform for UI design but Tera gets the cake for most outdated game core elements.

    Lowing Lucid to 0 did the trick for me (I don't have the game running max settings already but Lucid makes the biggest difference). I run a first gen i5 so I'm glad my processor can run this game about fps are about 40 now in boss battles

    Unfortunately the game is old and you have to play at lower settings even with a high-end pc to play the gmae at a higher frame rate. hey even though you're playing the game at a lower quality and less enjoyable graphics, you can still experience real-combat to the full extent. that's the spirit of the game atm.

    Due to recent enforcement of TOS "do not" under any circumstances mess with "any" type of 3rd party software to enhance or edit the game files it's a permanent ban if you do. Best you can do is in the in game video settings menu set all the sliders to 0 and enable low performance dimming. It'll look like [filtered] but at least it should net you 20 to 30 fps if your lucky. If that doesn't work well just put in a support ticket.

    stock 3.7 GHz turbo bost i5 3570K here, high 30s - 50s on LKNM at least. It's got to do with the single thread performance, but also the memory leak issue.

    OP maybe your TERA client is eating RAM like mad? Try it out. Check if it's on the high gigabytes class. I never got up to 2GB usage for the TERA process ever.

    I have a machine with a 5GHz i7 7700K with 3200 MHz RAM, I get around 5 0.1% lows, 25 1% lows and averages of 98 with a GTX 1080 Ti.

    With my main machine, Core i7 6950X @4.4 Ghz, with SLI GTX Titan Xp (albeit [filtered] SLI custom profile) I get 40 FPS on 0.1% and 50 on 1% lows with averages of 140.

    Based on my testing, super high clocks do not give significant advantages, idk where you got the information about a 7700K at 5Ghz getting better framerates is accurate, when my X99 CPU has a 600 Mhz deficit (Kaby-Lake has a bit superior IPC performance compared to Haswell-E and has clock advantage).

    There is something wrong on your 7700K machine then. It should seriously have a higher fps.

    As to why: UE3 is a mainly single threaded engine. TERA uses an old version of the Engine that is Pre-DirectX10.

    Try forcing the CPU affinity of TERA to the physical cores (0, 2, 4, 6) in your 7700K. HT could be affecting it.

    I am playing on 4K, bro... not on FHD or QHD... lol... thought it would be kind of an axiom given the way overkill card.

    I am playing on 4K, not FHD or QHD, I think would be and axiom to say very few people would SLI two Titan Xp's or a 1080Ti to play on such [filtered] resolutions.
  • SaitamasamaSaitamasama ✭✭
    I swapped from 4k down to FHD and FPS is still the same. TBH swapping from 4k down to FHD or QHD is just not worth it. The image quality is so bad I can't stand it. Had to go back to 4K.

    U3 sucks for mmos, U4 amazing, optimize this game is not, a 660m can run this game max settings, its CPU that matters.

    MOST players have in deed tweaked the game, but apparently that's not allowed anymore so enjoy ur 15 or hell my fps sometimes drops to 10.

    I'll repeat again newcomers this game does not require an OP graphics card and doesn't matter if.
