Frame Per Second Optimization Thread 24.1.2016
-
The spec sheet says GTX 760 recommended, GTX 980 “rocks.” While you have a GTX 960M, it is a mobile version of that card which obviously will not perform as well as a discrete GPU.
For desktop builds, note that BMS is still a CPU-intensive sim so with everything else being the same, a 2.5GHz CPU will not show as good numbers as a 4.0GHz CPU. Newer CPUs also are better “per cycle” than older CPU so a 3.8GHz new chip may outperform a 4.0GHz old chip. Unless you are building only for BMS, obviously the best way to go about this is to get the best CPU and GPU that your budget allows. I would prioritize the CPU over GPU since it’s easy enough to upgrade a GPU whereas a CPU upgrade might also mean a motherboard upgrade and thus be more expensive. Once you are closer to getting your desktop setup, post here again and I’m sure a lot of people will be happy to help or at least point you in the right direction.
For now, I would suggest you start off by turning everything off, running the test as I did on my thread, and then build up from that until you hit your minimum acceptable framerate. Good luck!

hehe Im flying on F:AF for now, dont hate on me , Im just a fan of stable platforms (not that F:AF is fully stable by the way) , I remember back when I used to FF.
It was a lousy experience.
As for FBMS. Im saving money to buy a dedicated desktop, since running on my laptop, I realize the fan is going loud all the time, and where I live its a hot humid country.
Dont know if desktops can be any cooler.

Even if they aren’t, they can move air much more efficiently than desktops plus they’re also further away from you so you don’t get exposed to all that heat.
You should be able to run BMS on your system…. you’ll just have to accept a lower “standard” in terms of graphics and fps.

Does 32 bits and 64 bits make any difference on FPS ? I honestly dont know what they are
Secondly, If I run BMS 4.32 , would it be less laggy ? if it is, is it more stable in terms of CTD and such ?
-
I would think 64-bit is more optimized for modern systems. More RAM to play with and all that. As to how that EXACTLY works with the game, I’ll leave that up to those that know more than myself.
Give 4.32 a try if you want. It is less hardware intensive than 4.33.

Yeah I will probably do that, whats the last update on 4.32 ? So I skip all the probable CTDs that might come in my way ?
-
Update 7. Do note that you’ll still need the base installer and updates 1-7.

SO I have to download each update one by one after initial setup install ?
Are there full instructions in that link ?

There is no reason to download each update. The link has the base and all updates included. Just extract to a folder on your desktop and install.

Ok thanks
