Game runs a lot worse than benchmark and demo

Thanks capcom for denuvo

I'm having issues too. If I have vsync on the game randomly drops to 30 fps with nothing happening and then goes back up. Dropping internal res to 4 stops it but then the game looks like ass. Turning off vsync gets me screen tearing. I never had this problem in the betas, the demo, the benchmark, or any other RE Engine game.

In my case, with vsync on, from drivers or from the game(individually) GPU usage goes to around 80-90% and has those drops you mentioned.
With vsync disabled, the game runs super smooth with only ~50% GPU usage on max settings in 1440p. The gpu doesn't even break a sweat with it, however the tearing is horrible.

Had the same issue with hitman 3 and was patched eventually.

Trying right now to use MSI and adjust the tear to be as close to the top edge of the screen as possible.

game runs smooth like the beta did much better than demo

I have a 3070 and the game runs perfect at 1440p with everything on max. Doesn't even really get warm. And the 3070 is old...

Welcome to drm checks every .04 seconds.

3070 here as well, but having the vsync issue. Without it runs perfect. Too bad I don't have a g-sync screen.

This was also an issue with hitman 3 and was fixed when they implemented an exclusive fullscreen(on DX12). H3 runs perfect now with vsync on.
Hopefully this is patched soon as well.

Doubt it's drm related.

Look, being blunt here: This is your fault. The game clearly has Denuvo, you knew it before you purchased it, but you had to rush in and buy it, because somehow, the game is a commodity.

Everyone needs to learn two things: Never pre-pruchase or buy day 1, or even week 1, and, never ever purchase a game with Denuvo. It says right on the store page in big letters D-E-N-U-V-O.

I love the wannabe helpdesk folk that plague every single performance post; make sure your firmware/bios/drivers/windows are all updated guys. Why stop there? Mine as well throw in a full virus scan, fully vacuum your case, completely lap your CPU and GPU and re-seat the heatsinks, make sure ram sticks and your m.2 drives have heat sinks. Please.

Game runs great at 1440p on my RTX 2080 at almost max settings.

My computer is old AF and it runs great - go ahead and blame Denuvo though.

One thing folks do not understand is hardware setups. There is no universal law that says Denuvo = X FPS loss. It all depends on hardware configuration. Not every cpu is equal in its instruction sets, and not every graphics card has the same support for hardware calls.

Matches runs at 60fps even with input delay reduction on with high settings on my Steam Deck but sure keep saying Denuvo is making it run badly. Sounds like your pc just sucks and it's time to upgrade

You know, come to think of it, didn't Crapcom release a game recently where they said there would be no microtransactions, then proceeded to embargo reviews until AFTER release, because, reasons. Then after week 1, they implemented microtransactions. Maybe I am thinking of a different company recently doing this.

It's always like this... some people will experience issues, others won't. I'm not having any issues.

But I will say some of the issues people experience occasionally come from how they build their hardware. It's possible that a guy buys a 3000series RTX and puts it into their 10 years old pc. Then the mobo and CPU will lack some of the features a more recent graphics card benefits from. Some people do weird stuff in their Bios. Some people never clean the lower part of their PC. Some people got a prebuild supermarket PC that was... pretty generous in the benchmark advertisement. And some people don't buy liquid cooling because a single fan solution was cheaper.

Ya never know...

Already said that; hardware configuration is near infinite, and hardware matters.

how long does anyone think it'll take until Denuvo is rid from the game?

I dunno... can people who pirate this game even really use it? Like the whole online stuff should check for legit copies?

Yes, I am seconding your opinion to make a stronger case.
