Hello,
I am experiencing severe performance issues with No Rest for the Wicked, making the game nearly unplayable despite having a high-end setup.
The Issues:
-
Constant Lag: The City area is almost unplayable due to constant stuttering.
-
VFX Drops: Massive frame drops occur in areas with many flames, water, or heavy particles.
-
Cinematics: Cutscenes are “slowed down,” out of sync, and extremely laggy.
-
Comparison: My PC runs the game much worse than a weaker setup (3060 Ti at 2k resolution), even though I am playing on 1080p at Lowest settings.
My Specs:
-
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
-
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
-
RAM: Confirmed running at full speed in correct DIMM slots (XMP/EXPO enabled).
What I have already tried:
-
Updated all drivers (Motherboard, CPU/Intel/AMD related, and GPU).
-
Performed a clean GPU driver reinstall using DDU.
-
Checked that DSR is disabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
-
Verified the monitor is connected to the GPU, not the motherboard.
-
Tried a graphics driver reset (Ctrl+Shift+Win+B).
-
Tested both the “test-branch (co-op)” and the “normal version”.
-
Tried running in Windowed mode.
It is frustrating that such a powerful CPU is struggling this much with the game. I would appreciate any help or optimization fixes for this hardware.
