Gaming PC reduced to graphics quality of ZX Spectrum

[Anarquista_CNT_FAI]

WG must have a bucket full of irony to produce its latest video - GRAPHICS. The video clearly attributes the low FPS many of users are experiencing to the quality of our grahics cards and CPU's. I've recently purchased a top of the range gaming PC and was looking forward to enjoying the high graphics available (claimed to be available) on WOWS. This evening I managed to get 6 FPS. That meant a juddering image of the my ship sailing the WG seas. Then I remembered WG's video and its suggestion to have a decent level of play. So I reduced my setting from high to medium. Result: 10 FPS, not enough to stop the start/stop image of my ship. Then I reduced the settings to low. Now here I managed to get 20 FPS. The ship had no detail, the islands no trees and, in my opinion, the experience reminded me of low end games from the 1980's.

 

To those who might argue that my PC or internet provider is at fault I say this: how is it that I can play WOT and WOWP at very high settings and have no problems.

 

If WG goes ahead with a public launch of WOWS without first sorting out the low FPS problem, they risk a loss of reputation. WG's response has been to create a video and blame users' PC's for the problem. Shame on you WG.

Oh come on, games in `80s had amazing graphics! Every new game was revolutionary, don`t you dare comparing WoWs graphics with those golden times .

I've got a mediocre-at-best laptop (i7 3610QM, AMD Radeon HD 7670M) and I'm getting 60+ FpS in this game on medium settings. There must be something really wrong with your new rig if you can't even manage 10% of that.

 

Are you by any chance using dual graphics cards? WoWs doesn't support that (yet?) so you may want to disable it for this game.

[Broevaharo]

This is strange indeed because I have a PC from the stone age (dual core I3 with a gtx 640) and I run a constant 60 fps at low settings

[_LordLucan]

 is the recently purchased PC using its on board graphics instead of the big expensive room heater card(s) by any chance?

[Realtbhuion]

dual gpu's in your rig, by chance?

 

wg hasn't built SLI/Crossfire support into any of its games, and as a result, performance takes a massive hit if you don't either disable SLI/Crossfire or set up an exemption so that it runs wargaming games on single-gpu mode.

[Eerieness]

2,8 ghz intel quad core 1st gen, ( the crappiest one), gtx960 2 gb, max gfx setting, 8 gb ram,  55-60 fps...whats your top range gaming rig spec?

[MAD_3R_Marauder]

It would be _really_ helpful, if you posted the specs of your "recently purchased, top of the range gaming PC"

 

My I7 2600, 8 gigs or RAM, Radeon HD 6900 runs the game easily at 55 to 60 fps at medium and my I7 4930k, 32 gigs of RAM an R9 290X runs it at 60 fps at max (both @1080p).

[Marauder9]

my pc is about 6 years old i7 930 gainward gtx570 windows 10' 10 gb ram and can get 50 to 60 fps and that at max settings 

[KptStrzyga]

My PC has steam engine instead of CPU and is running on coal and even I have 40 fps. 

There must be something wrong with OP PC.

[piet11111]

*insert gaming laptop joke here*

 

Without the OP posting specs its all going to be speculation but considering wargaming optimizes for the latest in potato based computing i can only say that either the OP has a serious problem with his PC or was ripped off or possibly just trolling.

 

[Sake78]

my pc is about 6 years old i7 930 gainward gtx570 windows 10' 10 gb ram and can get 50 to 60 fps and that at max settings 

 

i5-2500k stock, Geforce GTX 560 Ti 1 Gb, 8 Gb RAM 1600 Mhz CL 8, Win 7 64 bit on 10k RPM HDD, but game installed on 7200 RPM one, Xonar DS sound card, getting no lower than 50 FPS @ 1080p on highest settings and medium Post Processing (anything above medium looks unrealistic, foggy and generally chyt, not because of performance wise) and Anisotropic 8x instead of 16. Only problem is slow-ish load in the first battle or two, but I suspect the game itself is the culprit rather than my HDD.

 

I am in the process of upgrading, but I highly doubt a better PC will get worse results, so we can safely assume this game works REALLY impressive on ancient PC`s and, by extrapolation, should work better on better PC`s than the above. I am tempted to place the blame on the user, drivers or faulty hardware than the game at this point - even malware and the like, depending on the PC use.

[caldark]

Errm well other than my graphics card that is a geforce 970 my computer is prob about 5 years old now and its running the game maxed out with no issues at all.

 

@OP what are the full specs of your computer ?

I tell you it is stronk at playing The Great Giana Sisters so how come this crappy game does not run at 100fps???????

 

 

Sorry OP, but the replies say it all specs please 

[basharran]

I'm affraid his computer won't allow the forum to be properly rendered as well... so hence the absence of updates

 

Game should run fine on any post stone age system, so there must be something wrong in your setup. My gamelaptop (i7 + 780M + 16Gb) runs everything maxed out @60+ fps (1080p).

[Renwor]

Core Duo E6850 + 750Ti  +4MB RAM, Win 10, at medium setting 40-50fps.    

[NecroFlex]

Actually, WoWs has no logic whatsoever, like, my settings were on medium, dk why, but they were, loading times were cancer, game looked like sh*t, etc.

Then i watched the graphics video and decided to max muh sh*t out, result? Lower loading timer, better graphics, good FPS...how....idk..#math

 

Just like any other WG product, WoWs makes no sense aswell, so yeah, just fiddle around with the settings and you should be good to go.

[dash_lonestarr]

Reinstall game and drivers, also do driver sweep before installing video drivers. I'm running a 2.5ghz Intel Quad with 4gb of ram and a 6800HD with one working fan, still getting 40 to 50 fps at medium settings

Totaly MEANINGLESS post with NO SPECS!!!! 

 

If this was true for all mid range PCs then explain to me exactly HOW anyone ends up playing this? Have we all got super 'Deep Blue' spec PCs costing thousands?? 

 

I have a reasonably high end PC, AMD FX6350, 16gb RAM and a 4 year old Radeon 6950 HD 1gb card. Pretty good but certainly not earth shattering and I get a constant 50-70 fps. There is something wrong with YOUR pc, stop blaming others for your own problems.

I would only be too pleased if someone could draw my attention to a weakness in my PC set up.

<<specs>>

 

There is nothing wrong with your hardware as listed, I would check if the Nvidia GPU is being used for the game. This rig should be able to run the game on max settings without any sweat, so there must be something wrong in the way it's setup now (hard- or software wise). Also try to reinstall the newest drivers from geforce.co.uk.

 

I think you can rule out the game as the source of the problems.

[Figment]

Do not mock 8 bit graphics!

[cometcruiser]

I ran into the same troubl;e last week.  Graphics had become worse over a few days, I had to drop from HIgh to Medium eventually to low graphics settings tp keep it running, but It just go worse.  I eventually did a cold reset on my computer.  I didnt reinstall WoWs, but when I restarted my computer, on loading the game, when it came on it was as if I had done a re-install, as I had to set up the screen size and do  my password again.  So I get to the port and abrakadabra, my graphics can now be put back to high, my fps is better than I remember.  Try a cold restart.

On the face of it, looks fine to me. However, one thing is staring at me, INTEL Graphics as well as your NVidia card. Quite often, laptops can default to the built in Intel graphics when used with an NVidial graphics card unless you specifically put in the settings that this application is to be run using the Nvidia card. 

 

You'll have to Google how to do this exactly as I have a proper PC and not a laptop personally but I do know that this is a very comon problem for those with Intel built in graphics as well as NVidia graphics. 

 

EDIT: I see basharran beat me to it, I hadn't seen his reply on the 2nd page, seems deff worth looking at then.

[Anarquista_CNT_FAI]

I appreciate everyone's comments. I'm running this on a desk top PC not  a lap top. I can't work out why the graphics can run maxed out on WOT and WOWP but not WOWS. Is that normal? Erm, what's a cold start please?
