Unsure If I'm Getting My Hardware's Worth Of Performance

[Mathematicus]

Specs (First and Foremost) -

 

i7 3770k OC'd at 4.3

EVGA 970 GTX Superclocked (Latest Driver, including Hotfix for TDR)

8 GB HyperX Black RAM (2x4)

ASUS P8Z77-V LX

Windows 8.1 Pro (Moving to Windows 10, very soon)

 

Game is installed on a Samsung EVO 840 SSD.

 

I'm confused about the performance I've been getting on this game. I've seen those with similar specs that somehow have higher than 120, but I could be hallucinating.

 

On the Liset, I get 300-375 FPS

In missions with not much enemies, I get around 100-130 FPS

With a lot of enemies, I get around 40-90 FPS

 

All settings are maxed except for Motion Blur, DoF, and V-Sync Off. (yes I would like my system to make my eyes bleed bloods of joy and awe).

 

Cores are unparked and Hyper-Threading is on (tried it with off. not much difference)

 

On the Launcher, DX11 and Multi-Threaded Rendering is checked.

 

Would you guys consider this a normal situation for a setup like this or am I missing something? Please let me know, what you guys think. Thanks

 

 (also, I couldn't find the right section. If this isn't, please move it to the appropriate section. Thanks).

I think the fps is normal for a high end computer, that's warframe for you :)

Its just the way Warframe is coded

 

A friend of mine has a powerful CPU and he runs it on high, gets the same fps as you do.

 

Players helping Players i think is the section you're looking for

Yeah, that's normal performance for Warframe.

 

I would suggest running a framerate cap via Nvidia Inspector for when you enter the liset ;)

 

My system is similar (weaker CPU - FX 8320) and my performance is around yours. I cap my fps at 120. Ne sense cooking my PC.

Ah. I guess I was hallucinating. Got to lay off the monitor. And YouTube. And Reddit. And Google.

 

Thanks for letting me know (and the quick responses). Thought I'd be hitting more, though... Other blockbuster games have higher frames than Warframes. Eh, I guess I'll wait for optimizations.

 

Yeah, I thought it would be Players Helping Players but I saw on Google a system thread in this forum section.

 

Thanks, again. Guys.

Same settings too

if de makes dx12 support you will get more

Particles and lots of enemies kills performance quickly in Warframe, so those FPS numbers you are quoting seems normal. I've seen 32-263 during a solo T1 Exterminate mission with similar hardware, more numbers here https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/489798-desktop-maxwell-throttling-issue-utilization-very-low/?p=5564413.
