Lower City Performance

Post your experience and specs here for Act 3, Lower City

3700x, 32gb ddr4, 3070 ti

I'm getting 40-60 fps in lower city jsut walking around, it sometimes will go up to 70s but drops back to 30s every two or three seconds. Game is 100% unplayable like this, that's fine if you play games at lower fps but it gives me a headache and once I have a headache I can't have fun anymore. I have tried lowering settings, resolution, upscaling quality, nothing changes it.

I was really enjoying the game right up to this point. This is frustrating because I was having a lot of fun and it just stopped with no apparent way to continue. No other problems with any other game, just this. Have tried different drivers, closing all background programs, nothing substantially improves the fps.

i too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ refuse to lower settings at all times

[Maelstorm]

funny that you say that in low graphics setting i get the same fps as in ultra!

[Maelstorm]

but yes its obviously the palyer not the game

Hello, same here i have 32 gb ddr4 ryzen 7 3700x rtx3080 and in city is horrible, stutter, i have 40 30 fps it's horrible.

[Loci]

nah this is a you problem. i run a 2080 super, max settings, dlss set to quality, and lock my frames to 60 for more consistent frame times. no stutters constant 60 fps running around

[Maelstorm]

yes well maybe you run that with dlss i dont have access to it so no its a game probleme. And you are also not in act3...

I just dont believe you i have 16gb ram amd ryzen 5600 and RX6600 and having 55 to 67 fps in lower city so how can you have 40 to 60 with better pc ?

Well i have a 4080, Ryzen 5800x and still dropping to between 45-65 fps on 2k (with dlss set to balanced). Not knocking on the devs because it's still playable, but it sucks while exploring.

I'm convinced the nasty stuttering while moving in areas like the lower city (fps will shoot up if you stand still) is not just caused by the NPCs as people where saying but some other stuff like ability or item effect specific scripts or a combination of those going haywire in these areas.

I did some tests and most of the stuttering is probably caused by specific items with active effects and some ability's like Shadowhearts Shar effect or Paladin auras probably more.

If i didn't have any of these ability's (for example spec out of auras as a Paladin) and items and took other companions with me the game didn't stutter/drop frames as badly. It's pretty easy to replicate and this points to some buggy and/or unoptimized scripts doing things they shouldn't do in my opinion, it's probably also an engine bottleneck or something like that so not even a high end CPU will help (at least from my tests with several systems).

So for the time being you can check your items,ability's and companions for effects or auras that can be gained or lost conditionally and don't take them with you to these areas this should fix the worst frame drops.

dude you neither finished act 1 why are you trash talking, im with a 4070ti and YES in the city the fps drop is scary, in act 1 i had 200 fps, in the cities i have drops to 30....

And I was already thinking about changing my 2070 super to 4070 ... of course, I doubted that the problem was in the video card. So the problem is in the game. By the way, because of this FPS drawdown, I don’t want to play Act 3. This is sad...

This is a CPU bound game, sadly i have a 9700K and its not enough atleast with a 4070ti. 2 options for me, change CPU MB RAM Cooler and also PSU and get atleast an 13700k or getting a 4k monitor I could decrease the bottleneck, at the moment im bottlenecking @ 34%

[Asgo]

Hard to say with one data point (aka my PC ;) ), but my impression is that these issues don't stem directly from GPU or CPU. While I can provoke dips to ~60fps by wildly zooming around in the lower city while otherwise hanging comfortably in my chosen cap of 80, I do not really see any corresponding load increase on either CPU or GPU. That might be because both have some headroom, but since I can see the dip in a reproducable fashion it probably has some cause.
My guess would be somewhere in the memory chain, mostly because it is something I cannot readily measure and given the higher level complexity in the lower city could be a good candidate. It also wouldn't really testable via settings, unless it is directly related to texture data.

1080p Ultra Settings, 60fps cap, no issues what so ever. GPU barely runs hot and its near equal yours in performance.

Your CPU is 2 generations old however, and BG3 is a very CPU intensive game.

Besides a 3700x will bottleneck a 3070ti, not a lot, but it will.

BG3 is all CPU, so no matter what settings you change in graphics, it wont matter much if your CPU is a bit older. Sadly.

Hey no offense but you don't appear to know what you're talking about at all, I'm guessing you are very young and still learning. That's cool, but nothing you've said is helpful. The game has issues and will probably get patched in the future, the performance drop is probably a bug with trying to apply my paladin aura to every single NPC in lower city. People with 13900k and 5900x3d are reporting the same problem. Additionally, if it were my CPU it would have been a problem long before Act 3.
