3080 low fps, only showing 30% to 50% GPU and CPU utilization

[Moptimus Prime]

Title. I'm only getting about 70 to 90 FPS on most maps. I get maybe 110 in the hub. This is at 1920 x 1080. I doesn't matter what settings I use, Low/High. Individual settings on or off. It always hovers around 70 to 90 FPS in a hunt. I put my old RX 5700xt in my computer last night to test it out, and my FPS shot up to like 180 in a hunt.

I'm on a worse rig than you and I have the same issue (RTX2060, i7-9700k). If it's any consolation, there's quite a bit of proof out there that certain parts of the game stop working properly above 60FPS. I sucked it up and just locked it at 60. It's not good that the game doesn't run as well as it should, but 60FPS has the most parity with the console version from what I've seen. It's probably Denuvo...

just turn off dynamic shadows and turn on processing reduction via model swapping. ez fix

The problem seems to happen on newer Nvidia GPUs I play at 1440P with everything maxed and get like 70fps-90fps with a 7year old RX580 8GB wile my friend with a 3090 gets like 60fps-80fps at the same resolution but then they turn of dynamic shadows and they shoot up to 120fps it might be a Nvidia problem because everyone I know with a AMD GPU doesn't have any problems either.

I was having really low GPU utilization on my 6700 XT until I turned render resolution to 150% which was set to 100% for some reason. After doing that it seems to actually clock my GPU properly no matter how I change the game's settings.
I still had poorer average framerate than expected, especially when turning the camera. Turning off Dynamic Shadows fixed that almost completely.
Model Swapping does produce some occasionally noticeable long distance pop-ins on hunts, but it also helps a ton. Especially on Citadel where I went from 120ish FPS to 144 solid.

Using Proton-GE by the way.

Yea I have the same my old 3570k with 1080 GTX runs it the same as or close to my 9700k with 3070 RTX.

Generally this is denuvo.

That's interesting, I haven't heard about those issues from higher framerates before and atleast i don't think iv encountered them myself. Do you know what they are or have a source where i can read about it as googling doesn't seem to bring anything up that i can see. Thanks

you're just cpu bottlenected

gpu is only a horse, the one who control it are the CPU and RAM, if those 2 arent really good you can get ♥♥♥♥ performance out of your gpu

I play on ryzen 3900x + RTX 3080 (12Gb version) and with everything maxed out in graphics settings this games runs flawlessly, hitting refresh rate of my monitor 144hz. 1440p so not 4k. Still I didn't encounter any problems as OP described.

Yeah im on a 5900x with a normal 3080 and get constant 144fps in 1440p also

"only showing 30% to 50% GPU and CPU utilization"

That's a CPU bottleneck. You're limited by single-threaded performance.

A Pentium G7400 runs this game better than most Ryzen 3000 chips.

That's what I thought too, but putting in the an RX 5700xt it ran at 180fps so it's not that much of a cpu bottle neck.

That did it. Ez fix indeed.

Wow this is some next level ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ from the devs, no way this really just worked. I am playing on a RTX 3080 + i7-10700k in 3440x1440p at 125% resolution scaling. Went from ~90fps in quests to an almost perfectly locked 200fps. Anyway thanks for the tip

And the strange thing is it looks like a nvidia problem alone I've tested 2 AMD gpus and the dynamic shadows do next to nothing and AMD don't have the performance problems but every Nvidia gpu my friends keep saying dynamic shadows wrecks there performance

my 3080ti runs the game with drops no lower than 144fps with dynamic shadows, and everything maxed, so maybe some people just losing the silicon lottery?
