Performance all over the place?

Why is this game so badly optimized? Frame rate is all over the place and no matter the settings I try nothing really works. Like, I tried lowering settings, tinkering with the DLSS, even opened my case to drop the temperatures in the small chance it was because of thermal throttling. Nothing really improved the performance. Even removed the small OC settings for my CPU/Ram just in case they affected the game.

Had everything maxed out and at one area I had like 50something FPS. Dropped everything to high, reduced some other settings as well, exactly the same performance not a single frame gained. Tried DLSS at performance mode and it made the game look like sh*t (also didn't improve things at all, tried it at the market scene early on and I swear it felt worse).

Checked my system with Afterburner during gameplay. Neither the GPU or the CPU seems to work at full load. Have a 5800X, a 3070Ti and 32GB of ram which I assume it would be enough to have a stable performance, but nope, the game at times runs horribly.

During the market scene, the frame rate was barely over 20fps, again no matter the settings. And this is my biggest issue. I don't really mind lowering settings to get a decent performance but as I said multiple times so far, nothing really seems to improve it during certain parts. Don't know what, but something really hurts the performance and it's not a setting, at least not one visible in the menus.

I also don't think it is a CPU issue (only if your CPU is pretty old to bottleneck). My GPU was always at full load and my CPU was like 20% when I checked? Maybe 25?

This. People saying it's very CPU Intensive cause of the rats. I've hit chapter 5 and there have been scenes with barely any rats in them that drop frame rate. If you're inside with rats: Probably OK. Outside? Dropping anywhere from 40-60. Meanwhile there were set pieces in Innocence with just as many rats or more then I've encountered so far. Then you've got the market which I'm pretty sure is borked. I'm not sure about the end of Chapter 4. Crazy detailed but again...very linear. I just don't know.

It is hard to tell. You have one section in Requiem that everything literally is collapsing, you are outside and running on the roofs, with 500k rats chasing you, and it is incredibly SMOOTH! Not a single frame drop nor hiccup. Fire is a lot more troublesome than the rats!

Even in some smaller sections the game will run fine with rats but as soon as you "trigger," one torch, frame drops. It really doesn't make sense.

this is the important factor

On a 3090 with a Ryzen 5950X I was getting anywhere between 40 and 120 fps at high quality / 1080p . It swings wildly for seemingly no reason ( very calm scenes with no enemies often lagged harder than action sequences).

Game is optimized like garbage.

I have a I7 9700K (8 real cores) and a 3080 GTX 12 GB also 32 GB DDR4 Ram and it stutters like hell. Game is installed on a SSD, tried to move it to my NVME, no change.

Game stutters when there are many rats on the scene, i get 85-95% CPU utilization on ALL cores. really??? It stutters when the GPU utilization is around 95% or higher (almost understandable). It stutters when GPU and CPU utilization is around 40-60% (this i do not really understand).

So i think there are many effects here responsible for the stutter in different scenarios, and sadly to say it is not very good optimized at this point. Hope they can fix this, because the game itself is once again awesome.

Also tried almost all combinations of graphic settings with almost no effect for smoother performance. Did encounter, when with activated vsync (i hate tearing), still got frame hickups to 62 fps shortly (also stutter), so i limited the frames to 60 and it´s way better, but still stutters when it dips below. (at least the stutters when it dips up high are gone).

with that setup u shouldn't be on a 1080p, ur just bottlenecking urself. but ur not wrong with the game its a mess with frame dips atm.

Agreed, there are some scenes where my 3070 drops to around 50-60% GPU usage and the framerate suffers. CPU usage can be high or as low as 40-50% when it does this so I don't think it's always a CPU bottleneck causing it. Probably a bug or lack of optimization

5600x & 3060 Ti and the framerates are all over the place from the high 90's to the low 50's depending on how intensive the scene is.
I'm running the game 1080p Maxed out w/ DLSS quality, this game is really intensive but hey, it looks absolutely gorgeous.
But since it's a slow paced game I really don't think the performance matter all that much imo, sure, the devs should optimize their game better, but meh, game is playable at even 30fps.

Make sure "Virtualization-based Security" is turned off
Mine was re-enabled by windows update, it will greatly decrease DX12 game performance.
You can check it in the "System Information" application.

Yea not the greatest scaling. I have a 2080ti and basically the only setting that affected FPS in the opening scene was adjusting draw distance. Try turning that to medium and put DLSS on balanced. I mostly got around 60 fps with some chugging in the more demanding areas. Yours should be similar as i believe the 3070ti is pretty on par with my card.

No, it's not CPU intensive, my 5800X barely hit 50%

HA thats actually pretty high. You will rarely see a game try to max out a modern CPU these days and with ryzen the power management constantly moves to different threads. I have a 5900x and on average it is usually 5% to 10% with some more demanding games that utilize AVX2 going up to 20%. I can tell you from experience coming from a 2600k even if cpu utilization is not maxed it still takes a toll on frametime consistency as the added latency could hold other things up causing stutters and dips.

This is a good point, to disable it go to Windows Security, Core Isolation and disable Memory Integrity.

Mine was already disabled and I still get a CPU bottleneck in certain scenes on my 3900X but this 'feature' makes such bottlenecks much worse.
