unplayable low frame rate

[TranceferLane]

i5 12 gig ram SSD GTX1660TI with Logitech G29 @ HD Epson Beamer - all settings at low, window mode at 1440x and it is a stutterfest..., what can I do to fix this? Any ideas or hints?

For someone who apparently wants to ignore negativity, you sure do taunt and antagonize a lot

I made a joke to lighten the mood, how is that a taunt?

I bought Monster Truck Championship and Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 yesterday in the Steam sales.

Both games are very good and both run on Unreal Engine 4. However, the performance on my PC with Monster Truck Championship on maxed out 1440p settings is awful. The games nevers maxes out either the CPU or the GPU, the latter of which remains in the 20-40% range but yet the framerates in the races only seem to be in the 40-50 fps range. I have a G-SYNC display but the game feels incredibly choppy to play. I found that I can get smooth performance but only if I cap the framerate at 40 fps.

In comparison, Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 on the same maxed out 1440p settings runs at 90-120 fps during most events and only dips to the low 70s fps during hectic race events with several trucks on-screen. This game always feels smooth to play even with an unlocked framerate and G-SYNC.

The difference is night and day between both games and while I actually prefer Monster Truck Championship, the performance is so bad in the races that it is putting me off playing it.

Is anyone else having this problem? Visually both games look very similar and, obviously, so is the gameplay so I am baffled as to why there is such a difference in how the games run. Is Monster Truck Championship just poorly optimised?

I am using the latest 516.xx driver from NVIDIA by the way for my RTX 3080 graphics card and my PC is running the game from an SSD on Windows 10 v21H2 64-bit.

Indeed poorly optimised and I think this will never change. Sad to see this game is going down the drain...
