I’m not affiliated with this YouTuber, but I thought this might be useful to someone else. I have a RTX 3080/Ryzen 5800x/32 GB machine and was hovering around 30-40 FPS even after turning a lot of settings down. I think I just haven’t kept up with the best combination of settings. This video got me up to an average of 70-80 FPS (except for in denser areas, where it can drop to 45).
Seems uneccessary because the game actually runs pretty well.
I have some minor stuttering issues, but a) I’m playing on an i7 4790k, which is just barely over the minimum, and b) I’m playing on Linux. In particular it’s clear that Vulkan is more performant, but dx11 is more stable on my particular system at the moment.
There’s one thing that I unintentionally left out. One of the top comments on the video mentions that the launcher can cause huge performance issues. I tested this last night. 1440p with DLSS Performance, generally High settings:
If I leave the launcher running - 35-60 FPS
If I kill the launcher (or disable it with Steam launch option) - 70-100 FPS
Huh, I’m trying to figure out why you are getting such low frames. In also running a 3080/5800x/32gb ram on a 1440p ultra wide and my average fps is in the upper 80s, maybe during large fights it might go down to like 60, but the only time I’ve seen it go lower than that has been a few obvious glitches (turned an enemy into a sheep that was constantly trying to open a vault but it didn’t have the key to it on its sheep body, was pretty hilarious.)
I have an RTX 2060, undervolted and temp limit to 65C (can’t stand the fan noise). Got a stable 55-60 fps on standard high/ultra settings, no DLSS. Edit: 1080p
Your specs are slightly better than mine and I’m running at a stable 144fps at 1440p with everything maxed out. I guess you’re running at 4k? Even so I would expect your framerate to be higher than that
Thanks to you both for the info on your specs/frame rates. The first numbers I quoted were at 1440p. I believe the guide recommended starting at 4k, so I think the 70-80 FPS is at 4k. I’ll have to continue to tweak.
Side note - what’s the general consensus on DDU (Display Drive Uninstaller). Do you all use that each time there is a new NVIDIA driver? I’m just wondering if I have a more base level issue.
From my understanding from various people online and my own experiences as someone who uses an Intel Card in my main rig (used to dealing with wonky drivers although it’s a lot better these days) Only use DDU if the situation calls for it. Like swapping GPUs. Otherwise just doing a custom install and making sure you check the box for a ‘clean’ install is good enough. Similar adage to “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Unless you’re getting a lot of crashes or things just seem off performance/visual wise. DDU is probably overkill in most situations.
You don’t need to run DDU every time there’s an update. You only really need it if you’re having driver issues that can’t be fixed any other way or if you’re switching GPU to a different brand. And if you decide to run it make sure you do it in safe mode so it can actually remove everything.
I never use DDU, just install over the prior driver. I run 3070, i7 10700k but only at 1080 resolution. In high/ultra settings I tend to sit at 120+ fps. Can’t hurt to try ddu if there are issues
