Peformance Problem in ATS and ETS2

[plykkegaard]

Is the i5 overclocked?
AFAIK 4.2 is a bit high

[blackpanther239]

since the Feldbinder DLC came out i play ETS again and guess what, no problems at all, the game runs butter smooth in comparison to ATS where i have stutters/frame drops because of the AI

Unfortunately I can't confirm that for myself.

If it to me, yes its oc to 4,2 with max temp under 70⁰C on 100%load. Its went to 4,4 but longer playing (couple kours) in some max cpu usage games (like dirt 2.0, rrre) make sometimes system crash after half hour and sometimes work without problem 4-5 hours, so I oc it little less.

Thanks
In case you wonder yes I have the same CPU

MB Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 and with that cpo oc i have 1,27V vcore and 1,94V overall cpu (i dont remember name). And its work like that from 2014

Ok. I make some test, try some different things and what I find. First I get back with drivers for AMD from 22.11.2 to older 22.10.3. And after game start, its look like the same fps - 30-35 even in other cities on map in other countries, but the "slowmotin" effect is like smoller - but its still ther. Then I notice that my system is has low space on system partition (system comunicate of that), and find that pagefile.sys (system defaut) has 2x my RAM capacity (31GB) but only max 2GB is used, so I change it manually, to 8GB and now slowmotin and 30-35fps stay, but slowmotion effect is mor smooth. I last try I move ets2 files to another partition - oryginaly instaled years ago it wos on 5 years old 500GB HDD, and now I move it to 500 GB SSD, and that give me realy progres, because fps in cities and on every crossroads drop only to 45fps for couple second, and very long time its stay on 55-60 fps vith fps drop to 40-45. BUT with vsync on gpu and cpu usage its about 45-50% cpu and 55-70% gpu, when I turn off vsync in game is 70-75 and little drops to 58-60 fps and cpu 60% usage and 99-100% gpu usage. BUT NO damm slow motion effect - I even increase all graphic settings to high.
One minus is that, in menu game has even to 1700fps, and fan on gpu card are try to fly off
Maybe that help someone.

Is the CPU load of 50% the CPU Total or the highest core load. The cpu afaik has 4C/8T so a total load of 25% means 1 core fully loaded, and as ETS2/ATS ist not really multithreaded i assume you are a victim of this topic. on my 3900x i was finished at a CPU Load of 1/12= 8,3% on my 5800x3D i'm finished at a load of 1/8=12,5%, of course sometimes there is a little higher load as there are some additional system tasks or another background application, and i think there are some seperatae tasks also in the SCS Software so the load is sometimes a little higher.

[Some newbie driver]

Yes, SCS put time ago on a separated thread some background tasks that are not directly tied to the real-time gaming experience; like the auto-save or the company drivers control. Also, since the addition of FMOD, the main thread is only responsible of instruct sound libraries what sounds and when they must be playback; but the FMOD libraries that run on a separated thread are the ones that do all the mix, the effects and the playback itself. That's why before FMOD, a froze of the game blocked also the sound (very noticeable if blinkers were active) while actually that problem is almost disappeared unless on the worsts drops in general performance.

My happy was to quick. In central part of map it was ok but southern parts its back very poor. Driving to Spain
from Switzerland fps drop are from a Genua. And fps and gpu are not at full load. Cpu all core about 40-50%, and GPU 40-70%. I try change scaling from 125% to 150 and nothing change. Something is wrong in cabin view, because on view outside (roof, bumper or wheel-6,7,8) is ok.

Cabin view renders the world multiple times, normal view +1 for each mirror in sight, so it's always more prone to FPS drops.
