Aweful performance on RTX 2060 core i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz , 16gb ram

[capirex]

I am getting 10-15 fps @1080p on the built in benchmark tool.
This is the second game this week where i am having this issue with, the first being Terminator Resistance.

My settings
1080p, High textures, RT off, DLSS balanced. As per benchmarks on YouTube, I should easily get at least 60fps with my system.

Graphics card drivers and Windows 11 Home OS are up to date. I am playing the GOG, Ultimate edition of the game.

Some times the render latency goes as high as 230 ms. Is something wrong with my hardware, i.e - Some part dying?

Thanks!

even DLSS off and most things set to High at 1080, you should pull 2-3x more than that at a bare minimum. Something is up. Such high latency, something is sharing the card, or the driver is only partially installed or glitched. also that proc says you're on a cometcore laptop, could it be heat, thermal throttling? when was the last time you monitored the CPU/GPU temps? This game is a beast.

How's the GPU utilization and VRAM in-use? could it be other things in the bg? I mean a 16GB card it would take a LOT to be the problem, unless you've got some AI image generator chugging along in the background... re: up to date, so then my first guess is your latest nvidia driver is making the game unhappy and I'd roll it back a version or two as my first test. I would also check NVCP to see if you have any forced overrides.

Also next time, please post in the appropriate section, in this case Technical. You're coming in from a competitor, but at you least have an extensive Steam library and it's from the creator's own digital distribution platform and not ea/epic, but still, don't make work for Valve moderators, yeah? They have enough workload.

Definitely check for thermal throttling. When was the last time you dusted the PC?

Maybe something else with super-sampling or anti-aliasing?

Thanks guys it was definitely thermal throttling!
Both AIDA 64 and HWMontior show idle CPU temps hitting 100 degrees C.
The fans seemed a lot quieter than usual, barely any air was coming out the exhaust.
I am using Alienware command center to run the fastest available setting. But even this starts of loud and settles for relatively low hum. But for now the average FPS when bench marking is 62 fps with occasional drops to 42 fps.

Also next time i will post in the appropriate section. I usually buy on steam, i missed the sale and hence had to settle for gog.
