Star Wars outlaws FPS performance drops to 15/20 in cities while maintaining an average of 50/60 elsewhere.
pc info.nfo edit - GPU not showing in file. I own an RTX 4060 with 8GB RAM. Please see the attached PC info. It’s hard to figure out why Star Wars Outlaws is lagging so much in cities—15/20fps versus 50/60fps elsewhere. I used Windows and the Xbox Game Bar performance monitor. My CPU was at 90%, GPU at 70%, VRAM at 85%, RAM at 90%/96%. I tried the lowest graphics settings at 1080p with DLSS performance, but FPS stayed the same (15/20fps) as native 1080p. After checking system requirements, I realized it needs 16GB dual-channel RAM, but I only have 16GB single-channel. Could this be causing the performance issues in cities? It doesn’t matter if I want high FPS—just need it to stay above 30fps. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The GPU is a component responsible for handling graphics processing and can be located in the file if it's related to graphics settings or drivers.
Games aren't well optimized, with heavy DRM causing major performance issues. You're limited to just one stick of RAM, which isn't much help, and you're using a 10th generation processor that's energy efficient but significantly slower. Overall, there aren't many options to improve the situation.
It makes perfect sense here. Did you set it to 100% power? The 10700t has an extremely tight power limit, so saying it runs at full speed means all cores are operating as quickly as possible within that constraint. This usually translates to around 2.8ghz (varies by board). That’s quite slow. Modern chips from the past 15 years use dynamic clocks, and over the last ten years it’s become common to let them run much faster when fewer cores are active, with others running slower or using less power. Forcing them to run at 100% meant the cores used for gaming weren’t hitting 4ghz+ as expected, because the motherboard detected power issues. Allowing cores to rest freed up resources and also reduced overall power consumption.
