Huge performance issue

[Giorgos Coacola]

I have a 3050Ti laptop with a Ryzen 7 5000 seires processor 16 GB RAM. The lowest possible settings and resolution and the game barely runs. This is unacceptable.

Same here, 32 RAM and 4080 and i can't barely play more than 20 fps, no matter the resolution...

Nonsense

While the 3050ti laptop should be fast enough for this game, it's lacking the VRAM. It has 4GB. Minimum requirements specify 6GB VRAM at the minimum.

And judging from the game's VRAM hunger: that will not run well/look good, or both.

Your expectations for your puny laptop 3050 Ti, are unrealistic, and it's the VRAM that lets it down

Minimum Specs the point of failure for you is VRAM
GPU Requires 6 GB (Nvidia), 8 GB (AMD) of VRAM

Thiese key factors show why you should never assume desktop equivalence.
GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile
VRAM = 4 GB, GDDR6 VRAM - GPU clock = 735 MHz - Memory clock = 1500 MHz

GeForce RTX 3050 Desktop
VRAM = 8 GB, GDDR6 - 128 bit - GPU clock = 1515 MHz - Memory clock = 1750 MHz

Plus that's assuming the laptop OEM ever provides full power to the GPU.
TGP (Power) 35 W 80 W
Base Clock (MHz) 735 1463
Boost Clock (MHz) 1035 1695

In other words, Laptop Marketing really sucks, but bottom line is drop at least one tier, usually two, due to low VRAM, so if it existed a 3040 Ti Desktop would be a better fit.

Nothing to do with Denuvo,
Everything to do with 16 VRAM of PS5 AMDs APU.
More VRAM is the new standard, and why the 3050 Ti Laptop failed to meet specs.

Really? Press X to doubt that one,
I Average 66 FPS
"-benchmark" launch option set in steam with all settings set to MAX
Except DOF+Motion Blur, I turn such fake movie camera trash off.
Not seeing a huge performance hit for either of those, no VRAM effect.
Running @ 1440p Native, No Upscaling crap allowed on my PC.
Plus I have two 1440p very old sidecreens, running while I tested it.
Dell U2711 A12 – 27” IPS, 1440p @ 60Hz

Components
CPU: Intel i7 8770K, 3.7GHz All Core OC=5.0GHz (old but waiting on 7800X3D reviews.)
RAM: 32GB (2 × 16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 PC4-24000 (3000MHz) C16
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3080Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming 12GB GDDR6X VRAM
SSD: 2TB – WD Black SN750 – M.2 NVMe
Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG329Q Gaming Monitor – 32” Fast IPS, 1440p @ 175 Hz OC, VRR: 50-175Hz FreeSync+G-Sync Compatible

I only ran the bench to respond to this, I don't obsess over hitting a 60 FPS average, as long as I get a smooth steady Frame times, I'd rather a steady 30 FPS than erratic 60FPS average.

The VRR monitor really helps smooth out frame times, and why I bought it.

So unless your CPU is much older/weaker than my 6 year old fossil, I'm calling your claim very dubious.

There's enough to call this out on without making dubious claims.
Key Unbinding being impossible is a big one.
Devs obsession with Steam Deck FFS, who the cares.
Get it running better on ALL PCs, with first patches, and it Runs better on the Deck.
Fix the settings that do nothing.

I expect very little, this is Square Enix after All.
Their CEO is a NFT nutjob.

[Waldherz]

Well getting it to run well on the deck would also mean that it runs well on all other PCs.
But since it doesnt run well on Deck, this doesnt matter.

I had the same issue with FF15, once they removed Denuvo every crash and fps ~40 where fixed.

So tell why many years laters, with a good machine GTX 3070 / i7 11700K i can't play at 60 fps in 1080p with no drop ? this game have a huge performance problem, to "fix" fps drop i have to relaunch the game every hour or fps cap goes randomly between 20-30 and i'ts very annoying.

And this game is absolutly not a graphical revolution, there is a problem, and you know what ? game consume 99% of my CPU, the exact same problem with FF15 before Denuvo removed.

[Immortal Reaver]

Problem is bad optimization in first place. Anti cheat systems might cause problem too, but this is first and foremost bad PC port.

[Tali Zorah N7]

I've been trying to seek for a solution since the game was released, searched on every reddit post about it, videos, other forums, etc... but nothing works, there's people with worse PC who can play, and people with the same PC aswell >.<''

[Vegasskill]

This game is a direct port from PS5. With little or no optimization for PC.
They simply ported the game code from console to PC. They knew the game would run badly and to save face they recommended crazy specs.

Only the very top, very expensive GPUs(and ton of RAM) can run it "properly". If you own 3080 or less forget it.

Denuvo may affect performance but with that amount of RAM and a 4080 he should not have issues, unless the problem lies elsewhere.

Did Denuvo hurt you when you were young?

Hi. Actually Denuvo can be badly implemented... it fixed many FF XV issues when they removed it from the game, something similar might happen with Forspoken but it's just a thought.

About the performance i've done so many researches and i can't find a solution... worst part is that the game runs exactly the same at ANY resolution, 720, 1080, 2k, 4k... It doesn't change the fps. It only happens to me on this game, i can play any other games at 2k/4k with stable fps and 0 issues. I tried almost everything and honestly i don't know what else I can do but waiting for a patch... It's rly sad cuz wanted this game so bad and a friend gifted it to me on the launch day, but I couldn't play properly.

That line is all I need to see you are another self-declared so-called expert on the topic.

And I am not on about his laptop.

GDDR6 anyone and for desert we have a AMD ZEN 2 8-core based SoC core topped with a 36 CU RDNA 2 GPU.

The SoC is a 'System on a chip' while an APU is a CPU with integrated GPU.

i.e. Ryzen 7 3xxx 8-core CPU and AMD RX 6xxx and 16GB GDDR6.
