Bad Performance But Why?

[henrykelli103]

Hello, I have a GTX 1050 2GB, I5-8600k, 8GB of RAM but my performance in squad is horrible. Here's a video of my playing it with MSI afterburner running, can anyone determine the cause of my stutter? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRJk_LSubDI&t=22s

Your GTX 1050 is just meeting the minimum requirements for the game. Recommended is GTX 1080 according to this https://squad.gamepedia.com/System_requirements

It's actually a GTX 970. a GTX 1080 for higher resolution gaming.

Well a GTX 1050 is still 3 tiers below a GTX 970. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

The 1050 TI's performance is similar to that of the GTX 960. Making it not as far behind the 970 as it may seem. But, the performance difference is massive. He should still be able to drive the game on medium to high detail.

For one, he's got a GTX 1050 not a 1050 Ti. Second, the GTX 960 is further behind the GTX 970 than you think, the gap is the furthest between those two cards than any other 2 consecutively numbered GTX 900 series cards.

The game also recommends 16GB of ram meaning, its drinking up every bit of that 8GB of memory you have in your system causing slowness because your system has no memory to spare for other resources.

You already have the i5 8600k CPU that's a great gaming chip.

Add more RAM, and search on ebay for a higher end 10 series card for cheap, You can legitimately drop in a 1080 TI for less than $600 USD right now. Or wait for NVidia to launch the next series and wait 1-2 more months for custom cards to become available and since those will be sold out on launch night, wait an additional 2 months to be able to buy one.

The GPU is the first component to upgrade to gain the most performance in that system.
