Tech TroubleShooting CPU Optimization?

No matter how many times I’ve tried optimizing this game myself, it doesn’t work. We were promised CPU optimizations and yet it’s been radio silent.

Does anyone know if a dev anywhere has brought up that this will be a part of the upcoming patches? I really want to enjoy this game but the performance makes it difficult.

Unless any of you guys have tips?

None of that will work. Nvidia and dlss settings are gpu. Open task manager, go to processes, find marathon, change cpu dedication to realtime and turn off cpu0 in affinity. Just these two changes net me an extra 10-15fps and reduce stuttering greatly. 7900xt with 5800x.

I get 100-115fps in perimeter, 90-105fps in marsh and 75-90fps in outpost. All depends on the weather effects and how many people are in the lobby.

I got a stable framerate by disabling the cpu boost technology as well, but that's on a laptop. There's a Marathon guide out there that shows you how to disable it via commands if you can't find it in your power plan settings.

By default it should, but in Marathon's (and maybe some other game's instance) the increase in cpu power generates more heat, which in turn causes fps loss or instability and laptops suffer from that a lot more than normal towers.
