Hey, I'm managing to run the game stabley, but it's fairly choppy at around 20-40 FPS. I expect stutters and lower FPS with emulation but this feels a bit extreme.
Using 1440p patch, 60fps patch, a performance increase patch. Pre release shadps4 through BB launcher.
Specs: Amdryzen 9 5900x 32GB RAM RTX 3090 NVME SSD
If this sounds about right then all good, just wondering if there's anything I can do to bump that up to a consistent 40+ FPS ideally!
You should be able to mostly hit 60 FPS at 1440p with those specs. You don't need the Lossless Scaling app that others have mentioned.
Make sure readbacks are not enabled in the game specific settings in the experimental tab. Then try disabling the tasksplit patch. If neither of those helps, download the Diegolix build of Shadps4 and try that instead.
Failing all of those, see this thread about Nvidia drivers: https://www.reddit.com/r/BloodbornePC/comments/1m6odd1/re_low_gpu_usagelow_fps_on_shadps4_bloodborne/
Glad I'm not crazy, it seemed way lower performance than people reporting with way lower specs. Will do, thanks
Try older builds like 0.6, 0.7. Custom builds if you can find them.
Lower the resolution, try some performance mods.
Once you reach a stable 45, you can cap the framerate with something like Rivatuner SS for a more consistent experience.
See if you find any custom builds, there's even a discord for bloodborne.
A lot of tips in the Pinned guide
yeah, with those specs you should hit rock solid 60 fps at 1440p. Maybe it's your ShadPS4 version/settings?
To give a comparison this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82sF8tc7ug) is with a 3060 ti
Yeah thought so, will test some versions later. Tried 0.7 but then it crashed on launch, and it says game specific settings aren't supported pre 0.11 or something, so not sure how that works.
try 0.12.6 by Diegolix
Will do, thanks. Can I get this in the launcher or do I need to install separately?
I usually just replace the whole folder and launch the .exe so I don't know for certain but I guess that it should work as any other version
Try version 0.13. On the pre-release, I get 40-60 fps at 30% GPU usage on my RTX 5060Ti 16GB. On v0.13, I get a constant 60 fps at 1440p.
Just as a comparison: I have a i7 10700k 16gb with a RTX 4070ti S and my frames go all over the place at 4K. Lossless Scaling smoothed out the performance by a lot. I also have a gsync though
Give LS a try
Interesting thanks, how do I enable that, is it in BB launcher somewhere?
It's an app on Steam and search for best setting on YT. the wrong set up can lead to input lag but that is something I got pretty much rid of
Gotcha, thanks!
Lossless scaling is an external app for frame generation and upscaling.
You can buy it for 7 bucks on steam, works on any game.
I strongly advise against using it from 30, if you can get something like 45/50 then yeah, it's great.
Used lossless scaling to use framegen at 60 fps. This is on a 9060xt and 5700x3d and played a bit at 4k and defeated 2 bosses(sorry Im a newbie in BB).
Is your 3090 selected in the BBlauncher settings? If you have an igpu it could be the default setting and explain the poor performance.
It is yep, it's only having about 40% utilisation and about 20% CPU utilisation too though so unsure if the emulator is just limited in how much it is using.
Hmm your cpu utilisation should be higher what patches have you ticked on besides the 1440p 60fps?
same ! i have a 6700xt and 5600 so less powerful than your build, but i only get a solid 1440/60 when not much is on screen. and my usage for both cpu and gpu never goes above 60-70%. frustrating
Something definitely is wrong, my I5 12400f is getting 80-90fps at 1440p
Try lowering the resolution to 1080p or 720p.
Use vertex explosion fix.
Either try to continue running at 60 or lock it to 30 and play like that with the frametime fix OR, lock it at 30 and use lossless scaling to achieve 60 (can cause input delay)
And try to use different version builds, usually diegolix, figure out what works for you.
Forgot to mention I'm using vertex explosion fix yep.
Will try those out though, thanks!
