Here's what I have now:

GPU: 980 Ti
CPU: i7-2700K @ 4.4GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz

I've overclocked everything as far as I'm willing to go and still aren't satisfied with the performance. What should I upgrade to get an increase in framerate?

It's hard to make huge upgrades given that you still have a competent i7 and a 980ti, without going multiple GPU.

What is your actual framerate at what settings and at what resolution? Just vaguely knowing you're not satisfied is not terribly helpful information. And are you using Windows 10 - DX12 is actually fairly important to this game's performance, at last check.

Thanks for replying!

I'm getting about 20-30fps in 4K with Windows 10 DX12 on the High graphics preset. Lowering my native resolution or going down from the High preset really has a huge impact on the visuals, so I'd rather not do that, but I also want a framerate higher than 30fps.

There's the problem - 4K on this game is absolutely brutal (that chart is done with an i7-5930k).

So you're saying I can't run the game at 4K 144fps? :pfff:

I'll just wait for the 1080 Ti , 1180, or whatever AMD have planned. Or maybe I'll just get a 1440p second monitor and enjoy the much smoother gameplay.

Thanks again!
