Performance and stuttering

[Masoterian]

Hey, game stutters like hell when iam moving around, pretty significant fps dips. Options were set to ultra by default, lowering to high didnt improve much at all, so i guess, my question is, what are the most performance heavy options or what should i do to improve that? Its playable i guess, but annoying to say the least.

Running in native 1080p, specs are - 1060 6gb, i5 8400, 16gb r - drivers up to date etc. thanks.

Not enough VRAM on your GTX 1060 is the issue, 6GB isn't enough

I have a 8GB GTX 1070 and play at 1080p as well and it does bounce up to 90% VRAM in some areas so I have just barely enough, this isn't the first newer game I had this issue with, happens in "Days Gone" and Cyberpunk 2077" as well and even some parts of Red Dead Redemption 2

3K cards are just too pricey right now not much we can do

I have a 1060 6gb, and i5-4690 and 16gb.

Running at 1080p, all maxed out with 60 fps (some drops to 55). I just activated the AMD fidelty whatever (the option under DLSS) set on "best quality" and that's it. The image is even better to me since without it has a lot of sharpening all over. With the filter activated everything is a bit "smoother", I like it more.

Also no more stuttering.

You really don't need 3k series cards anyway, despite what is considered necessary for performance gaming these days. I'm on a system with a 2060 and have absolutely zero issues with this game, Cyberpunk 2077, or anything else I've thrown at this PC. 2060s are still ridiculously overpriced considering their age, but the performance vs cost is probably among the best you can hope for these days.

Regardless, the best option for people looking to upgrade is to buy a prebuilt anyway. Either for parts or just to use out of the box. I bought a refurbished Acer Nitro n50-610 last Christmas for something like $800 off Target. With the 2060 and a i7-9700, it still runs everything fine and is much cheaper than a single 3k series card. Even on generally max settings, including on Cyberpunk. I'm hoping it'll be enough to power through the card shortages and so far it seems like it will be, at least so far.

I'm aware that buying a prebuilt system is sometimes cheaper then a card itself but I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of parts I don't need/want just to get the GPU out of it

I find that really hard to believe, i played and finished all the most demanding games of recent years, RDR2, CP2k77, Metro:Exodus, Kingdom come etc, all of them on high-ish with ultra textures and ALL of them ran very well and most importantly stable. Sure it took some time of trial / error but i got there eventually. I dont need 4k or 200 fps, what i need is the framerate to be stable. And it would surprise me to say the least if this game of all should be too much for the card to handle.

They recommend a GTX 970/1060, so i guess 6 GB VRAM is enough.

Thanks man, huge improvement indeed.

I have a 3060 laptop. I benchmarked much better when I turned the physics over to the CPU. I also added the game to the msi gaming centre so it turned performance on when I ran it
