Aweful framedrops in updaam? ~40fps

[RTBear]

i7-7700k, 3080ti, 16gb ram, 1080p on 60hz monitor, ultra settings with raytracing enabled.

Running around updaam drops me to 40 fps. I rarely have stable fps in this area. Is it the game? is it my system?

[PopCornFlakes]

switch off ray tracing , it's greedy for very minimal improvment

Raytracing looks good but it will kill ur experience. Give them some time to optimize the game

[Armoxie]

So far that's the only area giving me trouble, it drops to around 50 fps and that's the most I can get with some settings lowered.

R5 2600, RTX 2060, 16 GB of RAM at 1080p with RT off and mostly High settings.

Stop setting everything to ultra settings, and expect good frame rates. learn to tweak your games, watch the latest performance video from digital foundry.

Updam i very heavy on the CPU and the 7700K is not that great any more.
Check your GPU usage when playing. If it's not at 99-100% then its the rest of your system holding back your 3080Ti.

CPU doesn't matter much in this game. Tech test here:

Not a single 4 core CPU in that test. The 7700K has 4 cores 8 threads.

You have a CPU bottleneck, I guarantee it. 7700K is a definite bottleneck for 3080Ti at 1080P. If you have the option try 1440P or 4K, you will have more stable fps for sure.

[FeilDOW]

So much lopsidedness going on here.... Basically an i3 by todays standards paired with a 3080 ti. This could work at 4k, that brings us to the next janky part of the setup and that's buying a 3080 ti to play at 1080p.

Use DSR or in game res scalling to run the game at 4k.

The game isn't optimised yet for sure but in this case id say definitely a cpu bottleneck there, as others have said you have like a 6 month old gpu paired with around a 5 year old cpu. 3080ti on a 1080p 60 hz monitor is like having a ferrari and putting marshmallow wheels on it.

I'm sorry for laughing but this was a classic post, I'm dying over here. FACTS

[< Flixce1r >]

wow you have 3080ti(one of the most expensive gpu right now) and play the game on 1080P 60HZ monitor BRO
Are you joking????! WHY
The game will look worse than PS5 while you spend 3x on GPU alone

I'd disagree. It's much healthier (& more quiet) for all of the components if they don't have to run at 100% load all of the time. The aging is much less. I was thinking about a similar setup for 1080p because you can normally max all settings but keep it cool & quiet without water cooling.

There was some article some time ago and they were buying used bitcoin mining rigs in order to compare the performance in games (with a normal gpu). The heat sink paste has aged a lot and so they were basically recommending to replace it & the cooling fan as well iirc (due to the high load 24x7). Other than that the used cards were fine...

i have similar issues with my 3070/6700k combo playing at 1440p. I suspected the CPU but it only sits at 60-70% use when the game is chugging so I'm not sure that is it.

Bitcoin mining isn't really comparable to gaming though, that would be like comparing a lemans 24 hour racing car being pegged round the track for a full 24hours to a supercar that you might use to pop for a couple of hours drive in - gaming your also not pegging out your gpu 24/7, even if you were gaming for crazy hours per day, its not going to be pegged out all the time as there's very varied workloads in games.
As for a similar setup for 1080p 60hz, i still think my post was true - even if you want overkill for 1080p 60 hz, you could get something like a 2070 for a fraction of the cost, and even this would be total overkill for 1080p 60hz gaming, which therefore would run at lower clocks, cooler and quieter.
