F1 2018 very low FPS

Recommended Posts

Guest
Ok, so I got this game as a gift and while my computer is not the best I was hoping that I could at least get to the menu without lagging. I was wrong. I'm getting about 5 FPS in the menu and benchmark mode regardless of settings. My specs are:

Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz
GTX 1060 3GB
6GB DDR3 RAM

I am aware that this computer suffers from a severe CPU bottleneck. But after checking some benchmarks online, it seems that the game can indeed work on 2 core/2 thread CPUs. The insane amount of lag in the menus puzzles me so is this normal for my setup or have I run into some kind of glitch?

I think @Hoo has helped with this kind of stuff before. Well let's just hope he answers the next time he goes to the forums.

The G3258 was a budget gaming CPU when it came out in 2014, it will be pretty pointless for gaming by now, especially badly optimised games like these.

I got it to work by changing the affinity settings on task manager. I am getting about 60 FPS on high settings so I guess I can't complain.

I don't know if this may be useful or not to say, but I can play F1 2018 pretty decently on:

Intel core 2 Quad Q9400 (overclocked, but can run the game on base specs as well)
8 GB RAM DDR2
GForce GTX 760 (can't remember if 4 or 6 GB)

Wait what? The game runs great even with processors UNDER the minimum requirements thanks to a patch from Codies.
