any optimized graphics settings for optimized performance?

[sidray749]

since the game's graphics performance is kinda bad. I want to enjoy this game but occassional fps drops really kill the immersion for me.
5800x, 7800xt with 32GB 3600MHz RAM and I can only manage 80 fps on the auto shop not even on max settings 1440p with occassional dips to 50 fps. it gets even worse when I'm on the open map.

lower the settings of the mirrors
it's a rather small section onscreen anyway
but since it's backward it's bypassing 'occlusion culling'(image search that)
there's nothing the devs can do -- u wanna have a second cam(backmirror) u have performance hitter, and a car without backmirror would look weird
do you really need 80fps for single player driving game?

I just got it and i got 2 fps and like 2 seconds of input delay.

80 fps in the auto shop, when it's on the road it's hovering on 60 and would get lower than 60 when there are many things happening on screen at once.
when the fps is like 60~80 the game looks and feel kinda choppy to me, turning on/off vysnc/amd freesync doesn't help

I found out that the real problem is the shadow option.

If you lower the shadow option to medium, you will get all the FPS back.

Even every other option is ultra.

My guess is that it has built-in ray-tracing or shadow-tracing.

It does look bad, though.

shadows already at medium, and no settings are on ultra.
I tried playing it again today and it gets worse now, it's now stuttery and seems to be skipping few frames every few seconds.

Make sure DLSS is set to auto or off, anything else causes micro stutters.

in case you didn't notice in my original post I stated my card is 7800xt so I don't have dlss to be enabled. not using fsr or amd frame generation either.
