Comments on: Update on the Performance Issues of mine in 9.0

30-40 FPS… those were the days. I maybe have played one match since the update and got disgusted by the 70-100 FPS with packet loss and all graphic details set to low/off/minimum except drawing distance. What disgusts me even more is the fact that I should buy perhaps a new graphic card for no less than 200 EUR so that I could potentially enjoy this game again on my 80 MB/s VDSL connection with perfect parameters between me and my ISP, SSD and other fancy hardware stuff. LOL, I also vacuum my case regularly and even use an air compressor to get out the dust from literally all places. What Tpaktop2_1 suggests maybe could work, but why I should do such things when there are other games out there that provide more satisfaction than frustration? The problem with most of you guys is that you are totally addicted to this game, because you have a) invested so much time into it and b) invested so much money. Good luck to all of you dropping this game like nympho girl friend ;)

Audio has been on a separate core for a while now iirc.

I could easily tell that WoT isn’t coded properly. I run FX-8120 proc at 3.4 GHz with HD 7850, and my brother runs an i7-3600 with HD 7670. Both of us got almost the same frame/s at med settings, which is hovering 30-40. Easily I can tell that the GPU to it’s potential isn’t at all used here. However I came across a guy who runs an i3-3220 with HD 7770 and gets 50 frame/s at high. Telling you how not good the coding is.

I don’t think so. I was messing around with core affinity before 9.0 and everytime I unchecked one of two cores, game was running slower. So I think WoT uses both cores in some way for a long time now.

All’s well fine and dandy in my case, FPS wise. The only dip(and annoying one at that) in performance is if I get in sniper view. Normally I run @ around 30-40 FPS but if I go sniper mode, the FPS drops to mid 15-20ish.

Tried screwing around with extra sniper effects, scope effect and such but no discernible difference. Any ideas?

there is a stupid tweak that can help. try to disable visual effects in windows, to be like old ’95 or ’98 it will boost fps quite a lot xD

A few day before I was playing WoT with over 30 fps with at least medium or high graphics settings. After all this graphics improvements, enhancements, optimizations, HD models etc I have to go to the very low graphics quality settings to be able to reach same fps. Thanks WG for this “improvements” :/

Wait for multicore support :P

No, it’s not true multi-core. Rather, WoT is no longer bound to run on CPU 0 only. It can now be spread around multiple cores but is still basically single-process. The sound does get managed in a separate core though.
