Low performance on High end hardware

[Wintlink]

I'm running the game on an Ryzen 9 7900x, and an RTX 5080, 6000Mt/s ram, on an gen 4 nvme ssd, but at the end, the game is using nothing of the power of my pc.
I'm between 65 - 80 fps with max settings, and not matter the resolution between 1080p and 4k.
In 1440p, the gpu usage is under 25% all of the time, I tried to fix the performance with the controller issue, but it didn't changed anything.
I didn't found a clear answer online, so maybe someone could help me here ?
Thank you porters !

Same issue on my end, only more severe—drops under 60FPS and as low as 40FPS even at the lowest possible graphics settings. Happens on two different PCs (3060 Ti + 3700X, 4060 + 10400F) and seems to be a general optimization problem made worse in Version 1.003. Meanwhile, the original non-DC version has no problem going above 100FPS on the same hardware.

Unfortunately, the best thing you can do is contact 505 Games and hope KojiPro eventually releases a patch that makes the game run properly.

That's rough. There's definitely something off. I played it with my old 12700k at 2k getting 130 FPS. Now with my new 14700K I get 170 FPS.

Strange? Running the game with intel 14900kf at 6ghz all core a 4090 and raid 0 with 4 nvme at 5120x1440p not below 230fps max settings with dlss 4. Something must be off man

My friend with a 4080 super and a ryzen 5 9600x was running with the same issue.
With the steam input disabled, I got between 100 to 140 fps now in 4k.

I'm running 5.6Ghz all cores. How is that 0.4 extra gets you an extra 60 FPS while also running on higher res? Sus... lol

When the resolution doesn't matter it usually means you are throttled by the cpu, check if your cpu isn't overheating and limiting performance or something similar.

Run cinebench on it to check if it is performing as it should.

Thats modern GPUs for you, keep giving them your money.

It was the same on my friends 4080 super, and the same on my others friends config running a 3080Ti.

The CPU is running fine, in game i'm under 75 degrees, and It has no problem handeling cyberpunk 2077 at 200 fps with path racing (or 650fps in low settings).
I'm not sure why death stranding would be that cpu intensive ?
I have no core maxed out while playing to DS

The performance issues are really strange. Changing different graphical settings only give minor fps gains. It seems like there's no difference in fps between native and DLSS, just as there's very little difference between 1080p and 1440p.
It's so whacky when I have 80 fps in a certain situation and then go to 45 fps when I simply start setting up a ladder! :D My fps is also 45-60 at the ruined factory area.

I'm thinking of going back to the original version. It had much better performance on my rig. Thankfully I haven't played very far in the game yet so starting over wouldn't feel so bad.

My system is RTX 3070, Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM. Not the best, but should be able to do run a game like this pretty well!

Double check that your cinebench score is around 1559, if it is your cpu is working fine.

For the gpu double check that you are using the latest video drivers as well.

Another thing to check is how strong or old your PSU is, it might be too weak or too old for your system as a whole and being unable to keep up when reaching full load of both gpu and cpu together.

you should see if your 5080 is one of the defective ones they had in stock

I have a 5700X3D paired with a 4060 and I run it on Linux Fedora at 4K 70+ FPS without stutters or fps drops on default configs using DLSS Quality

I have all my rops, this is the first thing I checked when I received the card.
Also I'm getting between 75 and 160 in the game depending where I am, but I'm never maxing the GPU, nor the CPU, and in some areas the gpu usage fall down under 20%, and that's where I'm getting these 75 fps.
It's not a performance problem, I'm achieving 190 fps on cyberpunk 2077 in 4k maxed out, DS is the only game running poorly.
It's palayable, but if the game was using 100% of my gpu, I could max my 240Hz screen and this would be awesome.

My only guess is that it has to be CPU related. I'm also on a 5080 but with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and I'm able to get a locked 120fps during gameplay at 4k max settings with DLAA forced on thru the Nvidia app. Is your AMD Chipset software up to date? Also what Nvidia driver version are you on? I'm on 572.60 for reference.

Have you tried disabling hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling? I have seen a few other threads here and there where folks have seen a significant difference doing that.
