Issue with low frame rates on powerful systems
Issue with low frame rates on powerful systems
Details: High-end components including R9 3900x, RTX 3080, and 16GB RAM. Monitor performance varies by scene—60+ fps indoors, 30-40 fps in busy city scenes. Adjusting to low settings only slightly improves frame rates. Usage stats appear normal. Observations from Linus's video suggest similar results with RT Ultra and lower settings. Check GPU drivers released on December 9th.
I am now using using Digital Foundry's settings and the game is playable now at 4k. Frame rate is in the 50s so not ideal but it rarely drops in the 40s. One of your issues is the resolution. With a 3080 you are CPU bound at 2560x1080 and would probably do the same frames at 3440 X 1440. There is also a problem right now with the game and Ryzen CPUs. It seems to use every other thread. This needs to be fixed by D Projekt RED. I think there is a work around. You should look it up.
