My friend showed me terrible frame rates and input delay in my game with his RX 9070 XT. He doesn’t have a CPU or RAM bottleneck and has the latest drivers installed. I also tried it with my RX 470 and had the same issue. I initially thought it was an optimization issue, but I was able to get it to run perfectly fine with my DDR4 GT 1030. Running the game with the command “%command% --use-angle=vulkan” in the game’s properties helps. I had this issue only on Windows, but not on Linux for some reason, even though I don’t currently have a Linux build for it. Has anyone else had this issue?
…one day ill figure out why gdevelop is always so weird with performance.
but it is USUALLY about the actual code of the game
also CPU is very important, you might need to tell me that too
You’re probably right, it’s just so confusing why it’s fine with the GT 1030 though.
My friend’s PC has a Ryzen 7 5800x and 64 GB of DDR4, and the PC I was running had an old i7 4770K with 16GB DDR3. My RX 470 works fine and was able to play other games decently on that PC. I tested with the GT 1030 on the same machine and made sure all drivers were uninstalled and reinstalled correctly.
what is the gigahertz?
I7 4770k is clocked around 3.5 and R7 5800x is around 3.8 I believe.
…hmm. well that doesnt help nvm
Low performance isn’t always directly linked to the graphics card. Something that can give you more information to assess this is running your project in debug mode and checking what the performance profiler collects at the moment of the drop. Depending on how some events are structured, their processing by the CPU can also affect game performance.
Update: Ended up removing a lot of the effects such as advanced bloom and pixelate in the game, and pasted “app.commandLine.appendSwitch(‘use-angle’, ‘gl’);” within the main.js file underneath “const { app, BrowserWindow, shell, Menu } = require(‘electron’);” which helped a lot. Still not sure the cause for the initial lag that made my game dislike WebGL and AMD, if anyone discovers anything then let me know. You can find the game on Steam here: Down Below on Steam
