CPU bottleneck situation is fixed now?

Or can I just play Dragons Dogma 1

The game does run a lot better now, at least in my experience. Still some slowdown in the market squares of the two larger towns but nothing too bad, while in any other places the frames don't drop at all for me.

That said, since your comment seems to be unrelated - you can still play Dragon's Dogma 1 anyway - it's a different game, so I can't say anything about the performance in that one.

There is less stutter what I heard.
Fps wise dunno.

You know you can lower the graphics settings to minimum, it will still look better than dragon's dogma dark arisen at max, and that is a remastered game compared to the original release on ps3. Though only lower the graphics settings if you gain fps for it, otherwise no point, especially when cpu bottlenecked, and set a fps limit that you're okay playing with.

Last time I played the game my only slowdowns happened in the central of that first big city you visit with the many humans in proximity of the town square. Worst experience I had with the game that the engine bricked itself so hard that it somehow managed to even kill my windows and I had to press reset on the PC itself.

That's never the game's fault (no matter the game), if your OS dies from a crash then either your drivers are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or your hardware is dying.

there never was a bottleneck provided you have hardware that isn't old. This is a gen9 game and every gen9 game is going to "bottleneck" your hardware from 2015.

I can finally play the game with a 4090 and ryzen 9 7950X3D. Everything on highest settings with raytracing on and I get a solid 80 fps with slight dips to 75 when loading a new area.

I would say hit and miss. Maybe less stutter in town but overall FPS is way down.

Previously had the PT mod working at 60-70 FPS with DLSS Q, now its 40-45 FPS. Overall noise with said mod is also noticeably worse.

Disabling PT mod back to normal RT/no DLSS nets me around 60+ FPS in town with a GPU usage of ~60%. Seems bottlenecked AF if you ask me.

Out of town GPU usage goes up to 90%+ with FPS also around 90+.

I can't believe people still say this. I have a Ryzen 9 7950X and an RTX 4070 Ti and I couldn't get a stable 60 FPS in Vernworth, and performance was inconsistent everywhere else. It's much, much better after the update -- so they did something in the backend, even if people like you still don't want to admit there was a problem (and probably still is for people with slower hardware).

Runs better. Menus are also faster. Cpu usage still goes above 70% in crowded cities but less stuttery now. Visual fidelity seems to be downgraded but that might just be placebo.

Please educate yourself.

If you use a intel i9 12900k cpu with max settings+rt @1080p, your performance will be in cpu bound situations starting from 4070ti, using a better gpu won't help you.
If you jump to 1440p, being cpu bound will start from 4080, upgrading the cpu will help.
Using 4k, then you're gonna be gpu bound by 4090, going above i9 12900k cpu won't give more performance in any scenario, going below that cpu performance you'll start being cpu bound again.

For me with rtx 4070, going from i7 8700k to i7 14700k was a 2x fps gain in cpu bound situations.

You needed at least the best 12th gen cpu to not be cpu bound, and you needed current gen gpu to make use of that cpu.
If you use a 9th gen amd cpu ryzen 9 3900x 3.8ghz, you're gonna be cpu bound, bottlenecking your gpus starting from rtx 4060ti or 6700XT 12GB. Upgrading your gpu would do nothing in cpu bound situations, changing graphics settings would prolly also do nothing.

That is factually incorrect. Many top end consumer grade CPUs had/have issues running the two large cities. If you're going to troll, be less obvious. That or get a clue before talking about a subject as if you are informed on the matter.

Yeah - I've got a 7800x3d (most commonly regarded as the fastest in most gaming benchmarks CPU) - along with a 3080, and it was running high FPS in most places, but the city was dropping FPS hard, and showing CPU usage, not GPU.

Haven't reinstalled since the update though - maybe after I play other games a bit first.

Every user here saying everything is ok now are just liars. This game engine chosed by Itsuno team aren't compatible with the game DD team made, all it can deliver for the player is just a 30 fps experience like developer said before release of the game. They knew it, this is why you didnt received a demo to play before launch.
Now with these patchs improvements made, it seems to be a little better, they even released the demo now becouse it's looks playable, but its far to deliver a solid 60+ fps on cities without some freeze. Also the gpu and cpu temps become very crazy and hot while you play this game, even when you access cities npcs to manage classes.
This game is a failure, the combat and world is cool, classes also, but history and performance of this game are just garbage. Im sad, i really liked this game and i think it should have more love from the developers. Now itsuno gone, and everything is lost, this game will be forgotten by Capcom, and remembered by us like a good game that havent get the true development team it could to be the "GAME OF THE YEAR".

Reading the comments here make it sound like the chance for a DD3 will be very low. Kinda sad. Thank you all for your answers.
