Hi guys my config:

Intel i5-6400 2.70hGHz (4CPUS)
8GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 1050
1920x1080 60hz

On geforce experience it says that i can run the game with everything on High. but when i try to run i get fps around 30~50. Even when i try to turn down some settings the fps stays the same.

Also i didnt had a user.cfg, i created one but it think that it's not working...

Your CPU seems to be the bottlenecking things .
CryEngine eats up CPU-cycles like a crazed world champion of fast-eating and still demands more .

Compare with my setup :
i5-3570k 4.3GHz
24GB Ram 1800MHz
GTX1070
1920x1080 120Hz

Still dips down to sub 40 FPS all the way from over 120 FPS .

A few points worth checking :
-Is your PC dustfree ? (heatissues can throttle cpu speeds !!!!!!!)
-How old is that OS install (recently re-installed my Win7 Pro 64, and lo and behold, average performance across a few games went up by at least 5 FPS, sometimes even more )
-Power saving options turned off ? (windows powersaving settings and NV driver-ones ( single display performance))
-Whats your ingame FOV ? (the wider the FOV (higher number) the more your PC has to render)
-All drivers (mobo, gpu, soundcard, etc)

My PC is a little baby, 1 month old only

Maximum perfomance and i didnt know about that single display perfomance, already made the chance

ingame FOV 90

All drivers at the moment updated

Your performance seems to be ok for your system's spec. Remember, MWO is a hog on mainly one CPU-core, so in your case it's the rather middle-ish clock speed of 2.7 GHz that matters.

I did some performance analysis in the german subforum (the graphs are internationally understandable though) recently on a Pentium G4560, which is mostly sufficient for MWO - but it's got 3,5 GHz, which is almost 30% more than your CPU.

Your 1050 most likely is not the bottleneck in your system.
IMO, if you need more fps, you should try limit particles, effects and post-processing to medium or low (according to taste).

Downloading from steam or from portal make a difference?

[PFC Carsten]

Never tried steam, but when you have disabled all the crappy overlay, broadcast and what-not-stuff, the game files themselves should be identical.

Got it, and what about that user.cfg file, do you have it? I can't find it on my files

For this, make sure it is set to High Performance. / Control Panel, Power Options, set to High Performance instead of Balance.

I really think the 2.7ghz base clock will hold the game performance back a lot .... I've played with the game locked to a single core at 4.0ghz and that yielded about 20-25 fps, fairly solidly, but pushing the OC up past 4.5 lets me have around 60 fps at 4K resolution, most of the time ... even though no one core will probably hit 100% workload, inefficiencies will slow the rest of the pipeline down, if you want to see that in action, you'll probably notice a frame rate increase, while you view the scoreboard, it still receives and processes the data that makes the HUD slow down, its just not drawn/'executed' because your not viewing it .... the FPS you get while looking at the scoreboard in game, is probably the maximum your hardware could do, in its current configuration, assuming some of the other issues, didn't exist ...

you would probably get the most noticeable increase from overclocking the CPU, but I don't know how much room you have there, and it gets complex, quickly and potentially risky ... including the classic 60's threat of china syndrome on your CPU ... your GPU is probably using less than 50% of its potential ....

Since it is a Intel i5-6400 there is no real OC ability via multiplier but instead only by BCLK, which Turboboost uses to kick it to 3.3ghz but that is only on one/two cores.

And any OC is done by adjusting the BCLK and the dram frequency. There are other links but take caution, esp if using the heatsink that comes with the Intel.

Make sure your power options are set to High Performance in the Control panel. Also in the nvidia control panel under Manage 3D settings make sure you have it set to Single Card Performance, and under power management set it to prefer maximum performance. Set everything back to medium or low, and slowly bump the settings up after a couple games. Once you notice one is effecting your performance just keep it lower and raise the others.

I wouldn't recommend overclocking if you have no experience in it. BLCK overclocks can be unreliable especially when the multiplier is locked. Make sure the chip is turbo boosting and install the latest chipset drivers for your machine.

There's no user.cfg by default, you need to create it manually using notepad. Make sure it's user.cfg, and not user.cfg.txt!

It's not like his PC is going to explode because of CPU not working stably. OP, just try to OC, and if you'll notice any weird behaviour from your PC you can just turn OC off by going back to your previous settings.
