requirements (optimization)
I don't have a 4080 super (so sorry for my sinful ways) but shouldnt the minimum requirements be atleast a bit lower? Even among demanding games this really is insane. If a gtx 1650 isn't even up to minimum and it's not 2027 I'd say that it's too demanding

care to explain? 8 FPS seems abnormally low for reference this is my rig
Ryzen 5 5600X
RTX 2070 Super
32 GB DDR RAM 3600Mhz
1 TB Samsung 990 EVO
and I'm averaging like 45-60 on Medium/Low in 1080P with occasion dips to like 35 in settlements

So, what is your system specs?

Could be a memory leak issue which devs are aware of. Not much one can do

Okay I see your problem, first you're on a laptop, and second you're already off to a bad start, because laptop parts are roughly equivalent to the previous generation hardware

Turning on DLAA and next frame generation was literally a night and day difference for me.

bloke. The minimum spec 1060 SMOKES your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 1650, and your ryzen is is MARginally better than minimum spec. PLUS a hp 'gaming' desktop is an oxymoron.

Those aren't better than the minimum specs. Is this a laptop?

That's actually slightly below the 1600X with half the cores. Better power efficiency though.
Driver: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
About 10% slower than the 1060 and primarily designed for mobile.

So basically the hardware is (just) under the minimum spec except for the RAM which is just meeting the minimum, though that assumes the card isn't borrowing a few gig from that if it is indeed the mobile version. You might be able to get an acceptable frame rate if you set the graphics to low and drop the resolution, then work up until you've got a decent balance (resolution is likely to be a big one; at best those cards only had 4Gb VRAM, and if it is the mobile version it's taking a chunk of that from system RAM. If possible and the display supports it I wouldn't go above 1024).
If it is a laptop also make sure you've got the windows power settings on performance, otherwise it's liable to underclock components to preserve battery.

My laptop handles the game just fine.
I9 13900HX
RTX 4080
32GB DDR5

I get 80fps in Epic settings with dlss and frame gen off. 110fps with frame gen on.

I all depends on the system. I don't have any issues.

GPU is old af.

CPU is old AF.

Ram is less then recommended. 32gig is recommended for high spec games of today bro.

Your system is almost obsolete in today's gaming world. Upgrade it.

Also check your graphics drivers.

Play on low settings and check recommended guides for ♥♥♥♥ PCs.

Good luck and happy Stalking!

laptop
AMD 7940hs
RTX 4070
32GB

1920x1200, HIgh, DLSS Quality - 60fps avg (45 in first town, 60-75 at open space)

Ok I guess I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up hard. I was also under the impression that 1650 was better than a 1080. That being said I still think the minimum requirements should be less demanding at least until games are being made in 2027

Been playing this on a Rx580. a roughly 6yo Gpu. Certainly not the best but it runs nearly everything on med setting if not better with decent Fps

Never crashed once in the 20hrs played.
