Settings have no impact what so ever

[evil]

I changed vegetation details from min to max value and they had zero impact on frame rate and i also was not able to see any visual differences.
Same for some other graphics settings.

Those settings did not said that i need to restart, which i did for some anyway just to be sure.

So far no matter what i change i get 47/48 fps.

Edit: at least raytracing has affected my fps. But on medium settings it looks really bad with very big pixels trying to resembel a reflection. Looks really awefull.

It's gonna be hilarious to watch the people who are hardline defending the game against "wokeism" do a 180 when the performance and optimization turn out to be mediocre.

And yeah. 64gb of RAM, 4090, and an i9-13500k are pulling 60fps regardless of settings.

thanks for your post. you reminded me that i forgot to mention my rig. rtx3090, Ryzen 7 5800X with disabled smt.

just reduce the resolution if you want a playable game. none of these games will ever be optimized at launch

not the worst i've seen, 120 fps on max settings with dlss frame generation on

My suggestion would be to wait for optimized PC settings suggestions. Digital Foundry, Hardware Unboxed, or even Daniel Owens are places you can look to if are not good at this yourself or don't want to investigate for yourself.

The benchmark suggested settings are not what I recommend anyone adopts. Instead, understand the trade-offs for yourself and adjust to what best matches what you would like to experience.

This game runs fine, but the recommended specs are a 2070. Ive got a 4060 laptop and i get 60fps with 1440p high settings.

Judging from the Benchmark tool this has been the exact opposite from my experience. There is a huge difference for my rig between all maxed out settings and all low settings. But more importantly I can go from ~40 FPS on all max (DLSS + FrameGen) to solid 140-170 (depending on the exact settings) with just a few changes to high / medium.

Some settings are very impactful, even when ignoring the obvious culprits like Raytracing.

If the Benchmark tool is close to the actual game, then you will be able to play around and optimize the performance really well, at least for modern AAA standards.

Obviously there will be need for patches, but there have been a lot of launches in the recent years that were WAY worse on this.
