30 fps and stuttering on medium graphics is my pc not good enough?
i have i7 and geforce gtx 1060, i run gt5, cyberpunk, rdr 2 and others on high settings and no fps drops but with this game I'd have to play on lowest settings to get consistent frame rate, Im fine with playing medium-high(ish) graphics, i dont need to play on utra but obv i dont like stuterring as it completely breaks immersion. Will this get fixed in future patches?

I5 4670K DDR3 RAM RTX 2070 here
I don't have stutters unless transition to a new area, nor low FPS. Most stuff is high / ultra.

Maybe something else going on with you. Are you watching videos on chrome in the background?
You didn't mention what resolution you're playing at

GTX 1060 is more or less at the same level with GTX 970, which is the minimum on the required specs, so it's not surprising that you're getting frame dips on medium settings.

Try activating AMD FSR, that is reportedly giving a huge boost.

Weird
BG3 is less demanding than CP2077, in no case you should have worse framerates at more or less equivalent detail settings

1060 is now 4 generations old and a low level card. That would be the expected performance.

Can you please confirm how much FPS you get with CP on High? Just out of curiosity, I upgraded from that card because of CP2077.

I also use a GTX 1060 6GB and it runs the game very well.

I have set it to 1080p, and everything to high, textures even on highest setting and I have constantly max frames which means 50 because I have limited it to this. No stutters at all.

I use an over 13 years old cpu I5-3570K which I have slighlty overclocked from 3.4 to 4.2 Ghz and ancient 1333Mhz DDR3Ram which I have oc to 1666Mhz and the game is of course installed on a SSD.

This game is cpu hungry. Your graphics card though is more than enough for it as long as you don´t set the resolution too high.

What kind of I7 cpu do you have?

Not even close to good enough for Medium graphics in BG3. :(

Also, you need to be running BG3 from an SSD if not doing so already.

They have been working on performance week by week. But I don't think your current system will ever be able to run BG3 any better than Low and still have acceptable frame rates.

I would recommend upgrading to at least an RTX 4060, and a game SSD if you don't already have one. With a 4060 you can enable DLSS and on a 1080p monitor can achieve some decent frame rates.

That is the biggest nonsense I have read in a long time. Absolutely ridiculous.

By all means, enlighten us as to how to achieve 60 fps on a 1060 using Medium graphics.

Instead of just spouting drivel that is not the least bit helpful or useful to anyone.

I have already posted what I use and how it runs. I won´t bother with people like you who have no clue what they are talking about. I block you right away, it´s not the first time I see you writing total nonsense.

Have a nice day

After all this blabbing, OP has not stated what resolution they trying to play on

And it is not the first time I have seen you post useless and unhelpful 'information' about how good your stuff is and offering zero help to the folks having problems. No one really cares how good YOUR system runs.

You are correct here. If OP is trying to run 1440p or greater, that can also impact performance with an older card.
Mamo Dec 4, 2023 @ 9:02am 
maybe use upscale options then

There is no way you get 60 FPS on high with an 8 year old low level GPU that costed about $200.Even the developer lists it at minimum level. NVidia levels 50-entry 60 low 70 mid 80 enthusiast and now 90 elite.
