what has the biggest impact on CPU, bots or players

[EV_Creeper]

Ok, so I downloaded a... "Free" copy of Rocket League just to check performance on my low end laptop (a6-4400m and HD 7520G) and in 3v3 mode with bots I got around 45fps, which is fine for a PS3 console peasant who is used to play everything at 30fps. But the real question is, do bots have a bigger impact on performance, or players do? When I buy the Steam version to play online, will I have bigger or minor performance than playing with bots?

bot ai is performed by the CPU so it will use more cycles (work harder). The more bots the more work being performed by the cpu.

Your low-end laptop isn't really better than what a "console peasant" uses though :/ Pretty sure it's actually worse.

But, yeah, what Arc said, bots use your CPU to "think" about what to do.

My GPU is supposed to be better than the PS3, but it gets really hot after 5 minutes on the BF4 CTE, and it can't even reach 20 fps on low settings, the dual core @ 2.7 GHz is really holding me back :/
Anyway, what you said makes total sense, I think i'll take advantage of the steam sales!

Rocket league is a PC and "next-gen" console game, not a PS3 game. A PS4/XB1 has a better APU than you do. The PS4 has an HD7870 equivalent GPU.

That is obvious. But it doesn't remove the fact that the PS4 drops below 30fps on 3v3, and when you have an unlocked frame rate that is just sh... Not good. My pc can handle 3v3 when using bots and never drop below 30fps, so I locked the frame rate at 30fps and it's actually enjoyable.

Rocket League is is a new PC to PS4 port, so it's not as "optimized" as typical PS4/XB1 games are.
