• Step 5 • APB:R Vanilla configuration

 

Go in APB:R Options, turn the graphic in minimal, and leave the tick from smooth frame rate and vsync, then go in the tab advanced and leave the two tick and apply

 

// Updates for advanced users (recommended):

 

You can disable / enable HPET for the best performance, you can search for this on google and read carefully !

Disable all the power saving option in the bios and windows

Disable in-built audio system from motherboard, these usually uses windows high-definition / realtek drivers and causes alot of troubles like audio stuttering, better using a cheap external sound card at this point

Disable contents indexing of the hard drive where windows is located

Re-locate the page-filing trough another hard-disk, out from the hard-disk where your APB is placed

Re-locate the Asset-cache folder (the one inside APB folder), you have to link that in another hard-disk there should be a Karyl tutorial

// Updates for everyone that uses nvidia:

Texture filtering trilinear optimization should be ON (screenshot mistake) thanks Dive for let me notice that

 

 

A lot of thanks to 'Steamcloud' for posting this. I think this thread helped a bunch of people getting into the basics of tweaking mechanics.

u are using very old drivers tho

 

 

threaded optimization OFF what ?

[CrimeCleaner]

props for the thread, but the game is just outdated. im on a gtx 1080 and my fps dropping all over the place.

i tried everything in the past just to find out it doesnt help.

 

Now UE 3.5 upgrade was at 90% at the stream. i would suggest just waiting a little longer and the performance should increase,

but by what percent i dont know.

 

cheers

APB Reloaded performance is based on CPU and not on the GPU, the client is also poorly optimised. 

 

What CPU do you have?

 

I personally can play APB Reloaded on my 1080 SC at constant 90+ fps only because I have a quite decent CPU, I7 Skylake 4.5Ghz.

 

I used to play on a GTX 750 TI SC and on a Phenom X4 II 3.5 Ghz Black Edition, and it wasn't enough to even play, with constant 30 to 60 fps, it was a nightmare and it was only till I upgraded my PC that I managed to enjoy the game.

You're right, right before I upgraded my CPU I had an I3, then upgraded to to I5 5600, the same specs only thing changed is the CPU, and now I am rocking FPS in between 60-120 sometimes more.

Hello PGA,

 

im running on at stock Xeon 1230v3 basicly a i7 4770. I didnt mention it, because this is GPU related topic.

No perfomance increase.

[Zealocke]

I also got a Phenom II x4 and can confirm 35 - 45 fps on Waterfront. Damn cpu based games

[N0rbat]

GPU is not that important currently in APB... minimum FPS depends on CPU .. you can have monster GPU but if you have some old low profile i5/i3 dont expect stable 60frames never...
