Video Issue fix for Nvidia
If you have NVIDIA Geforce experience control panel for your computer you can optimize the game and it will work. My friend just did that for his 3080 and it actually improved the performance and lowered the vram.

The game play was night and day.

After optimising the game in Geforce Experience the game is now running very well on high settings with some increased to ultra.

You do realize the only thing it does is adjust the video settings? Its not magic you can do it yourself / better than it would

Yes you could do this manually but not too many people know how to do this. I just wanted people who have the geforce experience for the NVIDIA cards to be able to fix some of the major issues that they are having.

My friend had severe issues and tried everything and it did not work. Textures and shading was way off. I suggested to him to use the optimize feature in the geforce experience panel to see if it would fix the issues.

I was watching him play the before and after of using that feature and it was night and day. I am not saying that this will fix it for everyone but it may help quite a lot of people with this problem.

I also noticed and my friend mentioned the vram was really high before he optimized it and after the did the optimization it lowered the amount of vram usage.

It doesn't hurt to try it out. Also i may help to update drivers for the video cards it may fix some of the issues too.

My friend tried that with changing the settings and what not for the last couple of days. He was not getting good results.

at 1440p, my 3080 runs just fine on the ultra preset with all the texture settings bumped down to high, not exactly rocket science.

It's not rocket science to most people but there are people out there who are not computer savvy and just expect things to work the way they are suppose to. There are still people out there looking for the button that says "press any key."

I just tried to give a helpful tip that would not hurt to try out. I see a lot of complaints about the performance, graphics and lag.

Even if this helps one person at least it's a start.

You don;t have to be mean or laugh about a tip that might help. Geez this is why i stay out of these forums. Everyone likes to mock other people for trying to help.

Okay, so which ones should people change for the optimal experience? For a 3060? For a 3080? For a 3060 ti? Sure, a person could spend hours - or even days - tweaking and testing. Or they could just use this handy tool provided by the people who made the damned video card and know exactly what it's capable of.

GeForce Experience is often very wrong, that's the issue, FPS depends on much more than just your GPU, people with faster CPUs can often push settings much higher than GFE.

I keep hearing it's DSS that's broke in the game which doesn't surprise me. It's broke in a lot of games. Anyway people are saying by switching it OFF has solved their main problem.

I will say just make sure that the video drivers are current. You can also see if the game is trying to run in dx12 instead of dx11. I know that has been a cause of problems on games i play like Icarus. I tried the dx12 and it would give me graphical artifacts all over the place. Had to change it back to 11 for now.

I forgot about the dlss. i know that the 4000 series for NVIDIA cards take advantage of the new verison of dlss where the older cards can't. Sometimes ray tracing will have issues too.

Everyone's system is different and it is a hit or miss what will work on one computer will not work on another. It can be frustrating to say the least. I have been gaming since the days of Sierra online leisure larry and text based games.

Hardware and software can be unpredictable at times. I have also built quite a few pcs in my time and i always hated dealing with the software side because you never knew what to expect when installing windows.

Anyone able to get the in-game overlay working? the only option I get is image sharpen which cant be adjusted anyway, all the usual filters are not there.

Haha, honestly we wouldn't even be here if it was still like back then. The video card drivers were actually in zip files and had to be copied to the system folder manually.

Overclocking was done by adjusting the FSB frequency.....which, believe it or not, you could just purposely set to high and grenade your CPU and motherboard.

Probably the main reason you had less soap box info about PC's back then. You actually needed to know what you were doing or it was either to hard or you'd cost yourself 100's of dollars in the blink of an eye.

AAAANNNDDD......My 2 Voodoo2's in SLI totally pwned 1024x768 back in the day. 100 fps!! w00t!
