Nvidia performance issues
I play this on 3070ti i7 12700k, computer is clean, and in order to even play without stuttering i have to turn down render resolution, play on low graphics, allow the game through my antivirus and maybe a good 5 0r 6 other things just to play without stuttering. CPU usage was still over 80% constantly as if changing these things didnt help at all. it just fixed the stutter between custscene/fight, if i practice for 30 minutes the game starts to stutter bad and cpu usage is 100%. FIX THIS GAME

Try using Process Lasso or ParkControl from https://bitsum.com/

Set the Affinity to disable E Cores. They’re marked with E.

Set the Priority to Above Normal.

Or

You can also just try unparking your cores in regedit.

If you have Windows 11 there is an issue with the legacy power options and the new power options under settings.

You need to go to Control Panel - Power Options - Set it to Balanced.

Then go to Start - Settings - System - Power - Set it to Best Performance.

Then go into your NVIDIA Control Panel and set the power management mode to prefer maximum performance.

Also make sure you have the MK1 driver from NVIDIA.

Hope it helps. I’m using a 120Hz 2K Monitor. i7-12700k and a RTX 3080.

Its not recommended to mess with the registry. Also if possible avoid 3rd party applications. Would recommend trying my method first. It does seem the ecores are a well known issue with this game atm but the game works fine for me rn (with ecores enabled but using the proper nvidia settings) w/out a framerate cap. Vsync disabled ingame

Yeah. It's not recommended to mess with the registry for certain things and if you don't know what you're doing. This is a power option. Hardly anything and you can always revert back and save the old registry file. Not to mention if all fails, a complete reinstall of Windows. Why avoid 3rd party applications? The only reason would be for certain games that have an anti cheat in order not to get falsely flagged. The other reason would be for potential viruses but I'm pretty sure that program is safe and legit. It's better than completely disabling your e cores. When they are in fact utilised for other functions.
