I use balanced settings. I’ve had my fps locked to 90. Haven’t tried any higher than that, just thought it’d be a good starting point. I’ve have about 3 hours played so far, and haven’t noticed it dip below 90 at any point outside of the title screen (where it seems to be locked to 80). Aside from some shader compilation stutter when I enter a new area for the first time, I’ve been pretty relieved with the good performance I’m getting. I was expecting much worse.

My specs for reference:

OS: Windows 11 pro (Version 22H2, build 22621.3447)  
CPU: 13700k  
GPU: 2070 super (Driver version 551.34)  
RAM: 32gb ddr5 6000MHz (CL30)  
Storage: Samsung 990 pro NVMe  
Monitor resolution: 1920x1080p

Settings:

Display mode: Windowed borderless  
Vsync: Off  
Fps Cap: 90

Quality presets: Balanced  
Render Scale: 100  
Motion Blur: 100  
Framerate Independent Motion Blur: On

Dynamic Resolution Scaling: On  
Target FPS: 90

I haven’t tried turning dynamic resolution scaling off or anything. All I did was set an FPS cap and change the presets to balanced. Maybe having an SSD is more important than you’d think? Not sure.

Have you updated your GPU drivers? Think Nvidia released a driver update to help with performance within the past few days. My drivers haven’t been updated since december, though, so ymmv.

Hope you can figure out what the issue is.

Duuuuuude how are you getting such high frames!?

These area my specs:

Razer Blade 15 Base Model (Early 2020 Model) RZ09-0328

4K OLED Screen  
16 GB RAM  
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with MAX-Q Design (8 GB of VRAM)  
Intel Core i7-10750H

I’m playing at 1080p on balanced settings with motion blur off. I’m getting low FPS and stutters from time to time when more things load in.

D: I honestly have no idea. I was surprised to see people were having performance issues when I decided to check the forums after playing for a while. I was expecting the worst.

I think 4k resolution is prob the issue here, 8gb of vram is quite low to be playing in 4k (with this card in particular). I’m only at 1080p, so my CPU is doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

Since the game doesn’t seem to complile shaders at launch, some compilation stutters are to be expected. Hopefully it gets ironed out with time. I haven’t had it impact my gameplay outside of a half second of hitching when I enter a place I’ve never been before.

I hope the issues get solved for you guys. This game is fun, and it really blows that the performance is detracting from people’s experience with it. ☹

Guys, I also played with the graphics quality settings, but it didn’t help me in any way. I played about **20-100 fps** (depends on the location, for example in the alchemist’s dungeon fps increased significantly), but my surprise began when I reached the location of the city and my **fps** dropped to values **5-15** (_THIS IS NOT A JOKE_, as the scene with the Inquisition was **ALL 5 fps** ).

I’m playing with settings like everyone else, but the **resolution is selected 2k** , maybe that’s why, I’ll try to change the resolution.

Also I’m not quite sure what values to set in (Scaling), I set both scaling to 100%

I’ll try reinstalling the game on the SSD, but I don’t think it will be critical for the game. Still, the optimization in the game is very bad, constant fps drops depending on the location is proof of that (which are found literally in the next room).

But if you turn off scaling, then the quality is absolutely terrible, harm to the eyes at least:)
