FPS Drops and Stuttering issue
Hi can someone guide me a bit I'm having hard time playing this game because of the FPS.
I'm using Ryzen 5600x with RTX 3080 10GB OC, with 16GB RAM.
Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on 1440p High Settings with DLSS (Quality/Balanced), RT OFF completely. I'm getting 75+ FPS on normal areas but my FPS decreases significantly whenever I'm driving around in the city sometimes they dropped below 40 FPS. It is so much worst in Dog Town area. I've tried every settings but I'm still facing huge FPS drops and Stutters in most areas is it because the game is still poorly optimised or I'm facing any kind of bottlenecking? My GPU usage is around 50-60% I think it's because I'm using optimised settings from YouTube. But when I crank up the settings GPU usage goes up to 98%.
Why am I facing this stuttering issue lower settings?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

You want GPU usage to be either 100% or as close to it as possible, otherwise it's just sitting there waiting for frame information while your CPU bottlenecks.

Turn crowd density to low to alleviate some CPU strain. Turn some settings up to help push more load to GPU.

While more cores doesn't always equal better, and ultimately it's the generation of the cores that matter more (IPC gains, instruction set support, etc), this game does seem to be optimized around 8+ core CPUs. Crowd Density is an easy way to claw back some CPU gains.
Crowd density is set to low to medium.
I've checked the CPU core usage and they're all between 75-80% in use while my GPU sits at 45-50% usage. The only thing which makes the GPU usage goes up to 98-100% is RT settings.
I am only facing stuttering while driving at high speeds in city areas. Dog town stuttering is the worst it sometimes go below 30FPS while driving there lol.

Try turning off DLSS.
3080 should push 1440p raster just fine.
Using dlss forces the engine to render at a lower internal resolution before sending the frame off to be upscaled by the GPU.

OP, it is nothing to do with your in-game settings, changing crowd density or HDD mode or any other setting mentioned here wont help, you have a better GPU than me but the same GPU and I dont have the issue you are having using the below settings with FSR set to quality and RT off.

Its something else, have you tried uninstalling the display driver through Windows then running DDU in safe mode then re-installing the latest display driver?

Have you checked temps? Removing any overclocks? Are you 100% sure the game is running from the GPU and not the CPU's graphic chip?
Temps are all great on both CPU and GPU and I've just checked it seems like game is using CPU cores more than the GPU. But whenever I crank up the RT settings the GPU usage goes up to 98-100%. Otherwise it sits between 45-50% 😐.
Already tried the settings you've attached.

Might wanna create a separate topic. Rog Ally/handheld gaming devices are a completely different optimization/"what settings to use" issue from regular pc's or laptops.

30 FPS might indeed all you get from a handheld device. No one claims this game is "easy" to run.

OP, hdd mode off. and download the amd chipset utility thingie. Sounds like your cpu is not working correctly.
