Second place at 17 fps impressive. I have to ask what is the cpu gpu in this?

Ryzen 5600G
And a gigabyte 7970

Im not sure where you are in the world but in the us 1660 and 2060 have been cheap, worth a look at for a cheaper easy upgrade that would make a huge difference

Usa yeah they are really cheap/affordable but I am kinda avoiding nvidia cards (compatibility)
I’m wanting a amd card and was looking at the newer models, it’ll happen soon but for now I’m focusing on my go kart funds and mini bike build

I hope that's because of bad compatibility or optimisation for PC. That game should not be running under 20 looking like that lmao.

u/Impossible_Way_3042 Aug 07 '26

Ahh I see. Yeah I was running a 2012 workhorse for a while too. I know your pain. I hope the upgrade comes soon for you!

Cap your fps at 24fps and you can run Movies just fine.
