How to turn down resolution scaling
Any one know how to get resolution scaling to not revert back to 90? I have a 3060 and even on low i barely get 30 fps even with clouds turned off with a lot of lag spikes around 10-15 fps. I want to turn down the resolution scaling to around 40-50 but the game wont let me. When i click save after sliding it down it freezes then saves my settings after going back to 90.

60 fps on a rtx2070 with scaling 100 and all on medium/high.
I don't understand how players with a bigger card can have problems like this.

The Scaling Slider is somewhat buggy - simply use RTX -> DLSS it is the same but with better upscaling by Nvidia. Chose any preset from Quality (i think that would be around 80% scaled) balanced, performance and ultra performance (which usually looks really bad).

Check out balance or performance.

And yes: pick 1080p or at best 1440p as main resolution. If you got a UHD-Screen and a RTX 3060 - that is not going well together.

I am already in 1080p. For those wondering or think im trying to run in 4k or something. I have a samsung curved monitor that's 1080 not 1440 or higher and have never seen the point in upgrading i see no difference in them at least until you start getting into 4-8k. But thats a down payment on a car for the price of those monitors no thank you. Maybe if i get a 40 series gpu lol. I'll try the rtx dlss thing to see if that helps thank you for advice. The first day of release i was ok but after a few patches its gotten worse and worse. Although ive never seen 60 fps so just capped it a 30. I'm use to 30 anyways since i play games on console as well. as long as i can get a steady 30 ill be happy.

Thank you very much. This helped but sadly didn't fix the problem. It done the same thing as before. I will log into the game then change the setting suggested. Then it will work perfect ill play a couple hours with no issue and no frame drop stutter. Then ill take a break close the game eat whatever. When I come back start the game up and even with the new changes a made before and was working perfect with the issue will be back. Every 2 sec. consistently not random intervals i get hard frame spikes. with HLOD on it went from frame drops to 5 -10 to now 15- 20 fps so better but i can't find the issue. it wasn't like this last week. Playing like this is giving me headaches and eyesore from constant freeze fame.
