Below 30 with a 2080 Super? Buyer beware

[Noon]

I don't necessarily have a problem with the game itself, but performance wise this game is a disaster, I had to refund because I just couldn't play it.
By the way, if anyone was curious everything was set on normal and resolution was 2k with the dynamic option checked.

Edit: A few closing words and then I'm not going to reply to this Discussion anymore because I'll be wasting too much of my time and yours:

1.I don't have a negative bias towards this game.
2.I did bought it and then refunded it.
3.Yes this could be a case by case scenario that would not necessarily apply to all 2080S users, that's just my experience.
4.Yes the 2080S is quite old at this point, but the Steam page literally put it in the recommended section so I thought I would be upfront and warn potential buyers of the (at least mine) possible subpar performance this card can achieve in this game.
5.Why would I even lie to you? If the game was flawless and played great out of the box why would I even be here wasting time in the Steam discussions arguing with people?

If you had a good experience with this game without a top-of-the-line card, great, I'm happy for you, but I didn't.

Something wrong with your PC setup, I use 2060 at medium setting, never goes below 30fps. Turned off dynamic option tho, it's known to produce fluctuating FPS.

Yeah, I cannot wait for people with the most common hardware discover the game runs like sh...

The game has terrible optimisation, and average fps is totally not justified by the level of detail in the game, ESPECIALLY in space. It's laughable, and I would imagine their engine is to blame.

2080 Super here. Running mid 40's to 60 (capped) on 1080p.

Im 10h into the game and my 2080s never gets below 40 fps so far (medium settings/1440p/dynamic resolution disabled). I'm not saying it shouldn't be more for the graphics that are presented, but it's not "unplayable" either. CPU is an i7-8700.

GTX 1060 3gb VRAM here, 50fps medium settings 1080p

You're using Resolution scaling by any chance? Because I tried it but it makes everything look like a muddy mess.

Did anyone here really think the game would be optimized when Bethesda couldn't be bothered to implement an FOV slider or proper HDR support and took a fat bag of money from AMD as an incentive to not include DLSS?

I got some bridges to sell to you guys

Yeah, I'm going to say no to 1080P thanks, there should be no reason that this game is pulling more resources than RD2.

Yeah, that was on me, I guess I'll see this game again in a couple of months and check if it actually runs like it was supposed to with recommended specs

I guess it depends how much can you stomach inconsistent framerates in an RPG/FPS game.
I personally couldn't bear it, at least not with the level of detail the game is currently offering.

I did, swapped to different custom presets, turned down the resolution scaling, checked if individual options were causing problems, everything you can think of outside of mods I tried, I just don't think that the trade-off between visual fidelity and performance isn't all that worth it honestly.

[ItsHord]

2070 RTX and yeah, The performance is really odd. Especially when i can play RD2 on everything set to high and have an constant 60FPS at 1080P.

There is most certainly something in the background that is drawing more power than it should be doing. We'll probably find that out when modding support comes out in full swing.

I'm on ultra with a 8gb 2060 super and it runs fine

guess its not the gpu but other components then. maybe you have a slow SSD or even tried it on HDD?

Nope, M2 SSD, granted maybe something's weird with my setup, but I don't remember having any problems like this with other games, utilization was fluctuating between 80 and 100% BTW
