I'm sorry for opening another Performance Thread. However i'm kinda "unhappy" with how xonotic performs on my system. I recently upgraded my old GPU. And because i hardly play other games anymore i thought that a AMD RX 570 + my "good" old i5 2500k and 16GB DDR would be more than enough for xonotic.
The game runs mostly at around 200+ fps (capped) on "Normal" Settings (with some decreased particle effects). However especially in Multiplayer there can be some nasty drops. Although i never get less than 80-100fps the fps then feel very "stuttery" when that happens.
However xonotic seems to hardly use my GPU at all. I monitored my GPU and it actually hardly clocks up for xonotic and almost always remains in idle-mode while still producing around 200fps (uncapping might increase framerates but doesn't change the gpu or cpu behaviour), same goes for my CPU (which is only around 40-60% usage). I did some research, disabled reflections what seemed to help for a bit and disabled dynamic lights which didn't seem to help that much and makes the game much harder to play because you cant see where your rocket is (because of no lights on the ground).
I guess either something is "wrong" with my setup, the drivers support the game just badly or it's just the game. But it seems crazy to me that i can run doom 2016 and Overwatch maxxed (pretty much the only "recent" games i own) at decent framerates while xonotic is giving me trouble.
Is there any "secret" setting i don't know off? I'm on windows 10 x64, using the latest autobuild (which seems to run better).
