Denuvo's Impact on CPU Performance [Megathread]
I'm creating this topic so people can discuss this issue exclusively. Please try to refrain from making loose claims without providing proof via links.

It seems like every thread about the game's optimization/Denuvo being in it includes this subject but it's often overlooked and I've only seen mixed opinions about it.

As someone who's considering buying this game with a sub-par rig, I also want to make sure that I'm not going to be slapped in the face with crappy performance on launch day. I'm by no means an expert on this matter so I invite everyone for and against DRMs to discuss this matter in a thread that won't get carried away by other talking points.
The author of this topic has marked a post as the answer to their question.

Denuvo can have anything from a negligible impact on performance to a large one; it depends entirely on where the checks are placed, and their frequency. If the checks are located rationally, like in menus or loading screens, they won't cause much in the way of undue suffering and may well be entirely unnoticeable. However, if they take place during regular game action (and especially if many calls are made at once), it can result in microstutter or worse (see Rime as the classic example of just how bad "or worse" could be).

Because the location of Denuvo checks varies from game to game, it's pretty much impossible to draw universal conclusions about its impact. It can be really, really bad. It usually isn't, but it's very clear that the people who place the checks do not always test to make sure this is the case.

proof? link? how do you know when the game didnt even release? are you talking out of "experience" with previous denuvo impacts..? that would most certainly only be because you have no idea about pc stuff and your pc is good enough to not feel the impact
i mean the first sentence OP wrote was

I don't have an obligation to provide anything. I'm asking people who have previously had negative/indifferent experiences with the software to share their opinions, and provide links to articles or videos to provide proof so the entire thread doesn't look like your reply.

k, i've never experienced performance loss due to denuvo.

i've tested games prior to denuvo removal, and post denuvo removal, and they all run exactly the same.

the only games that had performance issues with denuvo are badly implemented/optimized games from 4-5 years ago.

crazy how fast someone goes from "there is no impact end of thread" over "i have never experienced" to finally "only bad implemented" -- ofcourse not every denuvo implementation screwss the games performance but "if you know a lot about pc stuff" you should know everything has atleast a theoretical little impact even moving your mouse and since todays games are full of bugs and bad console ports and whatever a bad denuvo implementation is not far fetched, i think capcom will do good work thou but i do not know for sure

People hate Denuvo because of the restriction it brings, which is you need to have internet connection in order to play this game. because so many people hates it, many started to make rumours about how it is effect the performance of the game. which there is not any so far.
I can totally understand how much hate this DRM tool can bring..... :/

freeloaders hate denuvo because it prevents freeloaders from getting games for free.

as long as denuvo does its job, i won't have an issue with it.

those are not just rumours, probably exagerrated by pirates to channel the hate against denuvo.

what do you think who has more power to create a rumour, a narrative, some big company with ties to magazines/journalists or some pirates who run an illegal forum? i think you were caught by the media and turned so you defend them for free, as i said, its not as bad as some people say but it definitly can casue some problems, i wont argue that its only causing problems when its bad implemented, thats pretty possible but its funny how sure everybody is about his own opinion

found 2 already but i think they not employed, they just work for free cause they were told "its the right thing to do", atleast one of them

imagine trying to shut down a topic literally posting "end of thread" after a false claim on which you go back twice within one hour and then be like "oh just because i dont hate it i must be an employee".. its not that you not against denuvo, its that you try to shut down a discussion about it with a lie

just ask op to proof his question again pls, that was a good part :)
