Why does this game run so poorly?

[coltonious]

I want to start by saying that I have a relatively beefy PC. I7-12000k, 3060TI, and 32 GB ram, and I couldn't even hold a steady 30 fps with all settings at low. I truly do not understand how the game can run so horribly. I have fully updated drivers, I was running like two other applications (nothing that intensive), and it was still running terribly. Can anyone (looking at you Todd Howard) explain why it's running awfully?

Edit 1: I am running it from an SSD, specifically Samsung Evo 870.

Edit 2: I initially said I had a 3070TI, but realized last night that I have a 3060TI instead. Not sure if that makes a 60FPS difference, though.

Edit 3: I do not have anything overclocked

Brother im running a 2070 Super Ryzen 7 5800X as well as 32gbs ram and an SSD and medium, low, and high i get 20-30 fps

if your running it at 4k then there is your issue

r5 5600/2070 super and I get 40-60 fps mostly at 1440p. Way better fps at 1080p though

Runs like butter here...

RX 6800
Ryzen 9 7900
AMD B650
32GB RAM

Cpu's aren't up to the task yet, core speed seems to be the greatest contributor to framerate granted your GPU is new enough. Wait a couple of CPU generations and try then.

Also most settings can be set to high/ultra (shadows to medium) and resolution slider can get around 60% with dynamic scaling off. FSR2 or the DLSS mod aren't going to help you much other than superior AA. VRS set to on is fine as well. Shoot for over 45 constant and use RTSS to lock it in place and it is playable with a VRR or Gsync monitor.

You must be running it from a HDD.....

Same setup here and make matters worst is the fake full screen locking me at a resolution that the game can’t handle . It’s like they self sabotage. Why did we get a day 1 117gb patch that didn’t do anything useful from what I can see. Fallout 76 all over again smh. Glad gamepass showed the truth before I purchased this. Condolences to those who did I feel your pain.

I've got slightly worse specs then you, and I'm getting anywhere from 60-120 depending on the area, so I'm not sure why your performance is so bad. Do you have FSR2 turned on?

I know this isn't helpful to you, but it runs great for me with an old 8700k and 1080(albeit a top spec one), but new 32gb ram and a top spec hynix ssd. Medium, 2k I think but not sure how scaling works with that. Still looks better than fallout ever dkd

nope :) SSD. Samsung 870 EVO to be exact. I will note that when I was looking at my parts list last night, I realized that I actually have a 3060TI as opposed to the 3070TI I thought I had. Doubt that makes THAT much of a difference, though.

I didn't until I downloaded a FSR2 to DLSS mod. Now I do but still getting closer to 30 average.
