That's why changing graphics settings does almost nothing from highest to lowest to help performance it can in fact actually make performance worse for some people.
Huh! That is interesting.
I was running various tests last night and I noticed that my performance dropped in key portions of the benchmark after lowering several settings. It was so unexpected and bizarre that I reran the tests only to get the same result.
That is nuts. I have been PC gaming regularly for 30 years and this is the first time I have ever seen my performance drop after LOWERING settings.
For those wondering, I am running a 3080 and i5 10600k 4.1GHz. So not surprised that my CPU is holding me back.
But with Wilds it's just that CPU heavy that it makes even the best CPU struggle so even high end GPus can't even make full use of there capabilitys because it's waiting on the CPU to do it's thing.
There are very few game's that are this intense on the CPU which is why yo probably never ran into this situation before. it's also probably why the Devs give the player two messages basically begging the player to turn on frame-gen because that can also help with a CPU bottleneck but sadly frame-gen won't help many people because they already struggle for that stable 60 or 70fps that frame-gen is recommended to use it on.
Yeah enabling frame-gen is a bad idea unless one is already running a game with a consistent 50-60 fps minimum. Otherwise, it causes a lot of input lag and looks like a blurry mess. Frame gen is supposed to enhance an already decent/stable experience. It isn't meant to be a crutch to lower development costs and get a game that only runs a stable 25-40 native to touch 60 sometimes while playing.
When the frame is already low for frame-gen that sweet 10-15ms quickly doubles or even tipples I've seen it go into the 50-60ms of added delay while trying it out at 30fps.
And then there's all the graphical problems you start to get with artifacts smearing ghosting and that warping of the graphics, and it doesn't matter if your even using the best version of the frame-gen at that point when your in the 30s it'l still look awful and feel awful.
If anyone wants me to run any benchmarks at diff resolutions or setting LMK
Also a couple of screenshots mid way through the test.

Edit: I see you added more screenshots of the areas I mentioned below. Appreciate that.
Original post:
A lot of people are posting these right now which is cool because more information is good, but the average FPS from the benchmark isn't very representative of what the game experience will be. Sadly, the final results do not show what is the most important data from the benchmark which is the average FPS during the scene where the player jumps into the Savannah grass area as well as the area with the town/hub.
I mean, I am running a 3080 with an i5 10 series intel cpu and my average FPS at High settings with no ray tracing, no upscaling, and 1440 was 60. But my FPS during the grass scene was ranging between 35-45 and the hub scene was 30-40. Not great...
In the savanah in the grass it did spike down to 45 fps for me for a split second as a low but still held at around 55-60 fps.

Yeah. I think the theory about the game (or perhaps the engine itself?) being too CPU dependent is probably the most useful info coming out of all the tests and experiences people are posting about.
sigh...nothing to really do but keep repeating it and praying to the underlords that they do something. I still think the game is going to be a lot of fun regardless, but am also a super fan of the series so...
