My setup should be able to hit 60 fps but even with the lowest settings I still have a hard time getting to 30

[Ecto]

GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU
CPU : 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H
Memory : 64GB
installed on an SSD with 180Gigs of free space

even lowering my resolution from 1920 to 1280 didn't change much
Even with this I still barely hit 30 fps in the first areas, the weirdest thing is when I run the game it doesn't even use 30% of my CPU or GPU


is something wrong with my computer and any idea on how to fix it?

First things first- it’s laptop

Nothing's wrong with your computer mate.
I get drops (though rare) to 35 on an RTX 4090. It's just an unfinished product.

No, your setup wont and shouldt since the game runs like an old packmule with cancer and paralyzis from the neck down for everyone.

Yeah on paper 12700 should net you 60+fps easily and so should your gpu.
I've watched digital foundry's overview and they were getting sub 60 fps in the city with a ryzen 7800x3d. Which is a CPU that's probably on par with a 13700k. Also they tried lowering settings, including RT and it really didn't help significantly. So it is 100% bad optimization or a coding error or both.

you have a laptop. you are crazy power limited. to be more specific. you are SINGLE CORE limited. you say "30% of cpu". you clearly did not check core by core. you will see that a single core runs 100% and your laptop simply cannot ho higher in "performance" since your machine is limited in power.

Is your laptop in gaming mode too?

This one made me lol

Alright I managed to make my PC use way more of it's CPU, if you have a similar problem to me try going into your NVIDIA Control panel -> Manage 3D settings then global settings or program setting depending on your GPU and set "Shader Cache Size" to unlimited, I now have a smooth 60fps pretty consistently.

In my opinion after having owned a few laptops are not for gaming, even if they're sold as "gaming laptops." It's a contradiction in terms.

This particular setting has improved performance in a number of games, especially if you have a fast drive.

Laptop says it all.
