Issues with DLSS FRAME GENERATION, and about game performance.
My PC: RTX4080S, RYZEN 7 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, game on high speed NVMe.

This is the first game that has FRAME GENERATION and that when you turn it ON, you get lower FPS than when it is OFF.

My example:
4K, DLSS-Q, RT-ON, Maximum graphics level. Without FG I get = 54FPS, GPU load 98% (this includes video recording). With FG I get = 44FPS and 80% GPU load (this includes video recording).

The game has excellent graphics, very good facial animations, and nice controls. But I understand from the first launch, and the first tests of my own, the game is very poorly optimized. Even if I set 1080p, DLSS - Ultra Performance, and all graphics settings to low, I don't get more than 120-130FPS.

So everyone who wants to buy the game and you don't have the latest powerful PC, it's better to wait for the game updates, it usually takes 1-2 months if the developers want to fix their mistakes. And then read new reviews, or watch new videos on YouTube with testing of this game.

I have a 3060, ryzen 7 5800x and 32gb ram and have pretty much the same frame rate as you no matter what settings I choose. When I turned on DLSS DAA to 100% it dropped my frames significantly but the best frame rate I was able to pull was 90fps after playing with the settings a lot. I'm on 1080p though.

Ultra Preset is not optimized, but looks great.

Until they optimize I suggest just dropping it to HIGH preset and Turn OFF Hardware Ray Tracing for now.

Use Upscale the highest level you can for your GPU and FSR3 FG seems to work good imo.

I haven't personally Tried DLSS or Nvidia Frame gen, people are saying the Nvidia FG is not working correctly on this game currently.

I just tried using FGR and it significantly increased my FPS, however after beating the demo it has continuously been crashing. I can't play it anymore

DLSS Frame Gen doesn't work but FSR Frame Gen works as intended.

Yes, FG needs to be fixed.

Runs pretty good on High Preset with FG and Quality upscale, turn hardware RT OFF.

With DLSS, FG on or off make absolutely zero difference and it doesn’t run well on 4K, even with an RTX 4080 and RT OFF.

I know this, nvidia FG isn't working correctly at the moment, that is why I suggest using FSR3 + FG not nvidias FG until they fix it.

The FSR3 was actually causing my game to crash. In order for it not to crash I had to turn it off before ending a playthrough. I had to uninstall and reinstall to even find out what the problem was cause I couldn't boot it. So the best setting due to these issues also has issues that make it unplayable.

Sounds like a gpu / nvidia issue then on this game currently.

On an amd gpu the FSR3 + FG is performing perfect no crashes here.

How much depth of fields setting affects performance ?

Probably specific to Nvidia then. I have seen others have crashing issues as well

Frame Gen is bugged.

Same thing here, FG doesn't affects performance, i always get 70 FPS AVG with a 4090 at 4K DLSS Quality even if i turn it ON. Some stuttering at some points.
