2% idle with low fps... 13% of ram used with 7.5gB of available VRAM

I love AMD. anyone found any kind of fix yet? comp has MORE than enough oomph to run ten copies of this game... if it would use my resources.

Can you post your system specs? Your post is very vague.

16gb DDR4, 3.6 ghz 6-core ryzen 5 2600x, SSD, radeon rx590. think that is all the relevant points. using the console mod it shows you your resource usage, which is where the 13%/7.5 numbers came from, though i can see the same result via task manager. game stutters nearly constantly,and last time i tried resolving this the only 'answer' was to buy an nvidia card.

Picked up an nvidia geforce GT710awhile back, and just plugged it in out of curiosity. AMD should be *** ashamed when a card with 1/4 the specs outperforms their product. higher overall fps, and even smoother at lower fps.

i hate AMD so much.

edit - well, never mind. runs better in the galaxy view, but in combat fps plummets to about 20.

What mods are you using, if any?

running a few, including nex. i have disabled the graphics part of graphicslib, which helps, but even when running without any mods at all i get this. its my system, been *** since i had it built two years ago and never quite figured out why. think it is the monitor, and some *** with refresh rates. cause i dont ever drop below 50fps, and am usually over 80, but it LOOKS like ***. it is least worst with freesync on, and adaptive sync off... but i have tried all combinations i can think of.

i just dont understand why the game chugs along, while i have all these resources available it aint using.

I had a similar issue a while back. Starsector just wouldn't use all my pc's specsand more specifically my gpu.
I had to manualy turn off the onboard gpu on my mobo from the bios settings to finally get it to use my nvidia gtx 1080.
Worth a shot if you want to keep using your AMD.
