Performance issue

[Ayahuasca]

Right off the hop
R7 5800X
xfx 7900xt 20g
32g gskil@ 3200
game is on a fire cuda M.2
240hz freesync premium monitor

What does it take to get this running @ 1080p with no upscaling or anything like that?

Ya i can get 100+ fps but its with all that upscaling jazz and it looks like crap

Am I wrong here to think my system should be able to run this @ 1080p at more than 30-50 fps? with no upscaling features cause as soon as i turn all that off the game looks awesome again but i lose over half my framerate .......I dont need a crazy fps either I would be happy at 60 but for some reason or another the game just dips out as soon as i turn off all the fancy upscaling features. To me i should just be able to play no ajustments needed at all no?

I will just add I am not trying to use raytracing or pathtracing either

Native resolution will always look better than an image which is being upscaled by DLSS, FSR or XESS, while DLSS being the best option of all of em when it's about minimum quality sacrifice for max perfomance gain. But since it isnt open source like FSR or XESS, its exclusive to Nvidia users.

So youre stuck with either FSR, which looks horrible (especially on 1080p), or XESS, which looks a tad better, but is still far inferior to DLSS.

If you want my personal opinion, (Ive played this game with and without Path Tracing and upscaling features), Id rather turn off RT or PT and play CP on native resolution instead of combining it with FSR or XESS. Even if it has the best RT implementation of all time, the quality sacrifice just isnt worth it.

RT/PT native > RT/PT + DLSS quality > native without RT/PT > RT/PT + XESS ultra quality > RT/PT + FSR quality

And dont forget to enable Fluid Frames in Adrenalin. And if you decide to play without RT/PT, turn down Screen Space Reflections from Psycho to Ultra.

Even with fluid frames enabled im getting 30 fps benchmarks and sorry but i call this unplayable.....This is @ 1080p

When i first got this card a week ago i fired up Shadow of the tomb raider never ajusted any settings and was getting 290 fps benchmarks with everything cranked

I have no idea why but i am getting absurd frame times 30+ W/O the upscaling

No, you're not wrong. Your hardware is more than sufficient to run this game.

I've been messing with graphic settings, off and on, since I bought the game when it released. And it's been a serious pain to find a balance between looks vs. performance.

This may work for you too, so give it a try and see if it helps.

1. Select 'High' for preset.
2. Turn off upscaling, which of course includes frame gen.
3. Disable all RT.
4. And here's the important setting - Crank up Screen Space Reflections Quality as high as possible. I have mine set to Pyscho, although I don't think there's a big difference between that and Ultra.
5. At this point, run the in game benchmark and see what it's showing. If you're getting more FPS than expected, crank up some of the other settings if possible and run the benchmark again.

Screen Space Reflections Quality makes CP look about the same as enabling RT.

Just like you, I run a full AMD build so RT is taxing on our cards. My game looks great and I'm getting around 80 FPS @ 3440x1440. For me, that's plenty for a single player title.

Thanks for the reply but ya nothing 30 fps again ......I am pretty miffed at the game I did nothing to the settings right off the hop when i bought it and got a whopping 30 fps

As stated above i can get good frames but it looks like ♥♥♥♥

I am not crazy here or anything either my hours in games says it all I would not put hundreds and thousands of hours into games if my ♥♥♥♥ didnt work ......This was just a 110$ mistake at this point cause it wont run W/O upscaling it so it looks like minecraft

The super confusing part is i was getting the same framerate a couple weeks back with a 2070 super so I was hoping I was just missing something which obviously I am but I have no clue what it is

[Ayahuasca]

In my amd metric overlay im getting 33.00 frame times so this is my issue I just have no idea how to fix it

Do you have AMD Chill on and it's idling the frames? Does it do the same thing with v-sync on or off? Do you have the frames capped somewhere? maybe your Adrenalin app or something?

Did you not uninstall the Nvidia drivers/software properly? Using DDU is usually the best. (You can still do this even after it's gone).

Maybe you need to verify the files? Or a preference ini file needs to be redownloaded and it's not using the proper hardware... Reinstall the game, wipe the steam folder in common, find any Red Engine or Cyberpunk 2077 folders in AppData (Which is hidden) and try to delete them. Restart, and reinstall?

There's a few things. Really odd though, I get about 80-90 fps, with FG and FSR turnt to Native but i only got a 6700 XT/R9 9800X 32gb RAM

So with that setup you should be blowing the game out of the water. Very odd.

Chill is not on and there is no power saving going on in this house

As far as i know all the Nvidia stuff is gone every other game in my library seems ok so I dont think leftover Nvidia drivers is my issue like I said I can get 240 in Shadow of the tomb raider .....ill try verifying the files i guess lol

Files were all good too .....reinstalling will take some time and its not something ill do right now....Like I say tho I am not having issues with anything but CP2077

[Ayahuasca]

So I went and checked with DDU there is no Nvidia drivers

I reinstalled my driver latest version....So the kicker here is even on low settings im running the game @ 30 fps in benchmark so something is up .....But its just this game lol everything else I have played plays fine no issues .....So hopefully some AMD user who has seen this before comes to the rescue cause i refuse to play that blurry upscaled garbage lol

But it did nothing I turned everything off same result .....But thanks again

Just throwing out ideas, but did you check Windows Display settings and ensure your monitor is set to 240Hz?

I haven't used AMD Adrenaline in a while, but is there a refresh rate limiter setting? You could also try exporting your Adrenaline settings, reset everything to default and test CP again.

Yep its all set and i did a factory reset already too ......I was getting 200+ on shadow of the tomb raider on the benchmark.....I did a benchmark of Tiny tinas wonderland with all the settings cranked 155 fps. Another game i have FNA benchmarked over 200

I even took a game i know is not optimized KCD 1 and on settings that say not to use for future hardware and i was still getting around 90 fps
