i'm giving the game a second go, but the fps drops is killing me

[Tukohama Enjoyer]

rtx 3060ti 8gb battleax
ryzen 5 5600g
32gb 3200mhz

the game doesnt seem to have "graphic options" besides enabling dlss and turning shadows on or off.

everything set to medium 1080 and having really unstable graphics
between 10-30 fps
meanwhile god of war ragnarok all on high runs smooth as butter.
is there any magic something something i can do to actually BE ABLE TO PLAY this game?

Well, 8 GB graphic ram isn't that much...

But the game has a lot of options to adjust the graphics (including ram-usage...) Are you sure, you checked right?

I have a 10GB Graphic card (3080) and still warnings about the ram. But I can set the options significantly higher and still don't have much issues. Perhaps I also don't realy care, if I get the one or other second-long hang out of combat from time to time. The combat itself is realy fluent and I have not the slightest issues. Even not in towns.

Hmm. I'm definitely not a pc expert but that sounds wrong. You should be getting way more than that. I've got the same graphics card as you and an I5-12400f which google tells me is equivalent to your ryzen. Only 16gb ram too. Usually cap it at 60 and (at 1920x1080) it seemed to deliver that pretty well. FPS is prob a bit lower in the city but even with tons of npcs walking round it doesn't drop much.

Can't really help you on settings I'm afraid - I'm embarrassed to admit I mainly just use the optimize button in the geforce app now - but you might want to just check this isn't something your end? Doesn't sound right anyway.

edit - had a quick look at my settings. Most seem to be high but the bells and whistles (ray tracing etc) are disabled. The only one's I look to have changed are resource intensive effects (too much clutter), shadows (I never notice), turning off ambient occlusion (maybe just me but sdfao looks crap) and switching dlss from quality to performance (they seem to be reversed). That's not going to explain the difference tho.

I have 16GB and go from stable capped 120fps outside of cities down to 61 in cities on a 9070xt and that with FSR 3.0 on and turning off stuff doesn't do it for me with the stutters which is weird. I can even give you more info on my hardware but truth is they either didn't have enough time to care for performance or didn't care.

you can buy lossless scaling and play with framegen its worth the 7€ to be honest try it!
ps are you sure the game is using the right GPU? and not the one on the cpu?

i'll double check on that, but i'm pretty sure god of war ragnarok or metro exodus can't run 60 fps all on high 1080p on a ryzen 5 5600g.

So, all that's left is to pay for some fake frames on a frame generator engine, instead of an actual fix. To think capcom has the balls to deliver something like this, even cyberpunk 2077 devs know better.

How did you manage to get such low fps numbers with rig like that? My laptop scores better o.O

Looks like you were right, for some ODD reason dragons dogma insisted in using the integrated gpu instead of the dedicated one, its the first time something like this has ever happened to me. i also moved the game to an nvme wich also improved map loading and fps overall. my ssd might be failing so i'll gotta check that later. runs smooth 60 fps capped now

Awesome. Glad you managed to get it sorted out.
