Try turning off Steam Overlay for performance

[The Gay Agenda]

First off, this probably won't work for everyone, this is just something I noticed.

For some reason, some games run horribly when Steam Overlay is enabled. Idk why, they just do. But after the most recent patch I got about 50-55 FPS, after turning off Steam Overlay, I'm now at a steady 59-60.

This does *not* fix the stuttering problem, that still exists, and the current solution is to go into your graphics card settings (whether that be Nvidia Control Panel or AMD) and limiting the FPS to 59 or 60.

For reference: I have a GTX 1080, i7 6700k, and 32gb of RAM

stuttering is Dx12 + easy anticheat
no help

Well, yeah, that can help. I remember back in the day I used to play on somewhat "gaming" laptop, but it was on the edge at the times when I played GTA online. Disabled overlay. It was sooo smooth.

ya same with me, it helps with GTA, I just don't know why the Overlay seems to be such a performance hit for certain titles, you would think it wouldn't use up *that* many resources

How do you measure your fps?

I love every time a new game comes out and these useless posts come with it. If steam overlay is tanking your fps then it's time to upgrade your potato. If "now it's buttery smooth" is correct you either A) don't know what you're talking about, B) can't tell the difference or C) just trolling.

I turn off EAC and launch with Dx11 and I don't see any difference. The game need only optimisation

Also, try setting the affinity on your cpu to high for extra smooth brained fps.

GeForce Experience, not sure if AMD has an equivalent

FPS Monitore is neat

Not just steam overlay like to do that, discord too. Not always, but it does on some.

My guess they share somewhat graphics with whatever overlays being integrated too to draw the elements of UI or functions take processing power. I maybe wrong, but it's my first guess on what it does.

Stop saying that the solution is to upgrade the PC. This game was ported like crap, that's all.
I have an RTX 3080, I9-900K, 32GBRAM, WQHD display (2560x1440), and the game manages to drop below 60 FPS. Especially since it is not at the cutting edge of graphics technology (PS5 graphics).

There is no need to change its configuration. The developers just need to do their job by making a REAL PC port...

Stuttering isn't the only problem. The mere fact that a high-game graphics card can't run the game at over 60FPS is proof that the game is bad in its conception...

I think SpecialK has a work around to make EAC impacting performance

steam has an option to do so within the settings > in game tab
