Performance on High End PC is terrible

[Sangral]

RTX 4090, 7800X3D 32GB DDR 5 RAM

Everything on Max setting (Which is Epic Setting) at 4K, DLSS ON with Quality and the FPS in the very first wood section when you start moving around are at around 75-80fps...... With FG on as well it's around 105-110....

Also, keep in mind, that's about the very first scene, normal empty woods, nothing happening, can't even imagine the drops in actual giant fights or big places if it already drops like this in the opening....

Just a bit further tho and Epic Setting on 4K with DLSS Quality leads to 55-65fps in cutscenes and at effects like fire etc....

In general DLSS stuff seems a bit broken. In this area it goes down to around 60fps with nothing happening on DLSS Quality at 4K and Epic setting.

But if I set it to "Ultra Quality" (Whatever that is) it goes up to 85. Can't see much difference between them tho. Is Ultra Quality higher than Quality?

Edit: Found out "Ultra Quality" uses the same profile as "Performance", so upscale from 1080p to 4K, no idea why this is an Option, but it's not better as the normal "Quality" mode.

If I use DLSS Quality and lower some stuff to High I get to around 75 here, it's all in all just a bit disappointing.
This is not the next Naughty Dog AAA spectacle, it shouldn't be pushy like this on a machine like this 🤔....

DLAA, 1440p 60 FPS, all max. Game looks/plays fine on a 4080 super/12900kf I9. It's not a shooter, why do you want 120+ FPS? O.o.

14900k with a 4090 and 48gb ram. At 4K the game ran between 50 and 70 fps for me. Something is definitely not right.

Because we play on PC.

No words in any human language can express how viscerally I despise the pile of dogwaste that is unreal engine 5. I wish devs wouldn't use it, because it's fundamentally garbage and seemingly really tough to optimize.

It is UE5 game, 4K means upscaling from 1080p.

[lackesis]

Just downloaded the game and the default screen percentage is "50" lol
Yes, this is undoubtedly a UE5 game. btw 7800X3D+4090 too.

Weird, no idea why you're experiencing that.

My specs:

7950X3D
RTX 4080
64GB DDR5-6000

Performance:

116fps (capped) floating between 100-116fps
4K, Epic Settings (all), DLAA (no upscaling)
Reshade (to sharpen the blurry mess even without upscaling)

The biggest thing that I played with in settings is global illumination, that one setting alone changed how the game ran on my pc

Because it is UE5's ray tracing option.
The game actually runs pretty well if you are willing to use FG or Performance mode.
stutter is minimal feels good.

I stopped playing it at this point because the art style was too modern for me lol.

"If you use blurry AI generated frames or render at 1/3rd the normal resolution, it runs pretty well"
Come on now, that's such a stupid excuse. UE5 is a dog poob engine, but optimization on it is still possible.

It's weird, I have 90-100 fps at 4k/DLAA/Epic (no fg) on a 4090/12700k. Played through the tutorial

This argument will never not be incredibly stupid to me, no matter how often people write this.
This can only come from people never who never played anything on a 120hz screen.



Every game benefits from high frame rate, every single one. Heck, I'm also playing through South Park Fractured but Whole currently and even that is incredible on 120fps because all the animations, movement and camera scrolling is so buttery smooth, it's incredible.

4K DLAA, Epic settings and 90-100fps? Sorry but that's bollocks, you probably have FG activated by accident.
Native 4K (what DLAA is) and everything on epic setting, that shiz goes down to like 40fps on my 4090.

I lowered some stuff to high, stuck with DLSS Quality and I now have around 100 at the first big level after the tutorial so far, specific cutscenes can still make it drop to 75 or so.
But that's the best it can run so far on 4090 and 7800X3D.

My monitor is 144hz and I prefer 60. Sure, I can see the differences, but is it something I want to stress my hardware to achieve while also trying to push for 4k resolution? No. So I settle for 1440p and 60 fps.

No shot you are getting them frames without frame gen or dlss. Unless you are overclocking your cpu or gpu or you have that screen resolution slider set lower which the lower you go the further away from native you get,

4080 Super, 9800X3d, 64 GB ram, 4K native, epic settings with that screen resolution slider to 100% and all I was getting was 50.
