Well, this is useless. Of course lowering your resolution improves performance when you are GPU bottlenecked...

You're still not getting 60 FPS in demanding scenes. Typically not even 40 FPS.

See if you can get 60 FPS out of the R5 3600X in the most demanding scenes, on the 720p Low settings. 80 FPS would be great for that butter smooth graphics. If you can optimize for 80 FPS 720p Low on an R5 3600X, I'll subscribe to your channel.

A R5 3600x is good enough for this game i'm running it with a R5 3600 (there is barely any difference and with a good cooler they are basically identical) and i get 60 fps for most of the game so far with a 3060 12GB it rarely goes in to the high 50s in very intense scenes but that's about it, CPU is between 50 and 80% mostly.
Settings are 1080p + quality DLSS rest like in the video with all texture options on ultra.

Oh and before anyone asks i own the game on Epic since i still had some vouchers there to get it cheaper.

Great guide m8. Especially the hint to use RTSS as the framelimiter instead of the internal option helps reduce stutter on my weaker 2nd PC with Ryzen 3600 and RTX 3060.
