Extremely low FPS

[Roy]

Why am I getting 4 fps on my RTX 4060ti/i5-10600K at 1080p. This is in Moonrise Towers, mind you.
Other places are better but nowhere near the solid 60fps I should be having.
For reference I get a rock solid 120 fps in Starfield and my memory is nowhere near used up.

Share a video to clarify what you mean.

I know probably everybody has probably recommended this on other threads, but have you tried updating your drivers? thats usually the issue for lag like this. If that doesn't fix it maybe lower all your settings to low and lock your fps to 30-60 just to see if it makes any difference at all, then tune it up to fit your own liking from there. Also switch to DX11 for good measure.

I updated my drivers yesterday. Made it worse. Lowering settings does nothing either. I've never used Vulkan.

♥♥♥♥ man I wish I knew, you *should* be able to run bg3, maybe verify game files? im pulling at straws here

[Roy]

Already done that.

Are you sure you are using the correct graphics card?

I think your only option is to try vulkan and see if that improves anything.

DDU and revert back to the previous nvidia drivers. If you notice performance taking a nose dive over an extended session, just be aware that the game has a known memory leak. It's a very CPU-bound title and at 1080P, I'm sure your CPU is bottlenecking.

BTW, lowering your settings would only increase the bottleneck for reasons mentioned above, so the best thing you can do is increase your render res, and that would put more strain on the GPU.

Open task manager and check
*whether correct GPU is displayed and used
*whether CPU/GPU or RAM bottleneck exists from workload point of view in the graphs displayed
Afterwards we may get an idea what's wrong.

Yes.

I reverted to the previous driver version and FPS is back up to 50-60 in that same location, but it's still a fact that BG3 dips to 30 quite a lot and it's annoying. It SHOULD give me a solid 60.

GPU runs at 100%. The rest is nowhere near.
The correct GPU is displayed.

Whether it should or not we cannot tell since you have not shared enough information.

Share a DxDiag report.

No, it shouldn't give you a static 60FPS, lmao. Those dips could be caused by a multitude of reasons. At 1080P, as stated, you're severely bottlenecked by your CPU as well as your RAM speeds/timings. You've got a four-year-old i5 playing a game that's heavily CPU-bound and has a known memory leak. Perhaps consider educating yourself on why bottlenecks happen and why memory timings and speeds matter more at lower resolutions. Your numbers aren't out of the ordinary, they're par for the course.

I'll bet you don't even have XMP enabled.
