Just turn off Ray Tracing.

[Yardman Sam]

I've seen a lot of posts about FPS issues, so much so that people are review bombing this game, which is a shame. I myself encountered FPS problems when I maxed out settings, only to have 60-90 FPS in the wild and 20-30 FPS in the main cities. I turned off Ray Tracing just to test, and my frames haven't dipped below 80 as of now. I know ray tracing is an important part of graphical fidelity in this day and age, but for the sake of all of our enjoyment just turn it off for now. A boon for NVIDIA users is to also use supersampling (quality) but it's not needed unless you're really for FPS over visual quality.

Once CAPCOM releases some optimization p[atches I'm sure everything will be fine, but for now do yourself a favor. Disable or reduce the graphical options that you hardly (if ever) notice in the first place, and enjoy this fantastic RPG experience.

Only just visited the first camp, but I was getting 102fps there with everything on except Bloom. Not sure how that will translate to a busy city, but I'm hopeful at least.

This is only viable if you have a 40 series NVIDIA GPU. DLSS3 is only supported for 40 series GPU's (4060, 4070, 4080 etc.) If this isnt the case for you, than as above is still the best you can hope for.

No. I'm not running a potato. The ray tracing is fine unlike Jedi Survivor's for the first 6 months.

Ray Tracing is a meme sold by hardware developers for minimal worthwhile gains.

[Memnoch]

Which gains are you referring to?

RT is more for developers. Saves a ton of time to just RT in game instead of creating the illusion of realistic light.

I have 250 fps on 4k ultra with path tracing , easy. Just stop being poor.

[Cipher Stormwolf]

Even without raytracing it runs bad, this is not reviewbombing. Stop being a jerk, please. We dont know if there will be patches quickly or at all and if they will do enough. I have hope thou. They posted that they are investigating.

I'm sorry, that's just not true. I have a 4090, 32GB of DDR5, and a 14700k, my game runs at about 80-100 at 4k, near maxing out my gpu. Imagine poor shaming people, and telling them to spend the worth of a used car, to play a game at an acceptable framerate. Newsflash, not everyone has the kind of disposable income we have. Be humble.

It's a troll...

Raytracing in this game is locked to 40% resolution which looks really awful. You can find a mod on Nexusmods that sets it to 100%. Either use that or don't use RT. Default makes no sense.

i test dlss with mods dlss3 ,ultra graphics, 1080p and its better then before by 50% but there still image blurry little and graphics have some little pixel, this game need more patch, and they didn't fix performance only way to get high fps is use dlss3 mods.
and only way to fix this game is cyberpunk 2.0 update lol dont try to defend that ♥♥♥♥ you need to wait like 4 month mybe to see patch about performance.
scamming game

Dunno why it took me so long to realise this but you're right, it saves them the time of baking light, it's only for workflow.

Tanks performance for that bs.

The amount of detail Ray Tracing provides is unparalleled to baked lighting.
DD2 looks absolutely stunning with everything set to max.
The shadows and dark corners cast due to ray tracing is simply the best the industry has provided so far.
And not something that could be done in this detail by hand (Purely speaking from a senseable financiel standpoint)

That isn't to say this is the best itteration of it, That title probably still goes to Cyberpunk but for the above mentioned it certainly is.

I have not tried Path Tracing but the fact a mod can so easily drastically change the look of the game is proof that a future update might introduce it in a less experimental format.

Yup. RTX 3070 here, turned off RT and set DLSS SR to Quality, getting way better performance (around 60FPS, give or take, in the wilds, slightly less in the camp).
