Performance not great?

[SoupAssassin]

4090, 10900k, 32GB.

At 4K Ultra, Hardware RT, DLSS Balanced I am only getting 45-50FPS outside with really poor frametimes. Stepping it down to high and turning RT off brings it up to a playable 70ish FPS but with regular dips still and very poor frametimes that make it just feel rough.

I know this is an extreme end of performance, asking to just do it all. But I do have a 4090, so really shouldn't be that crazy? I am sitting at about 96-98% GPU usage, and about 50-60% CPU usage, so the 4090 is the bottleneck here apparently.

Since the discussions are currently spammed with nonsense, maybe an actual discussion would be helpful? Game performance at a glance once making it to the overworld seems rough.

It's just a typical UE game. Unreal Engines are notorious for not being able run open world games very well, it was never designed for it. That's why the performance is what it is, it's a shame they chosen this engine, I do not like UE at all. I'd have taken unity over this mess.

4090 is old. raytracing is demanding. turn it off and you will probably have great fps.

4090 and 40 gigs of ram with an i7 here, and I'm getting like 20fps exiting the sewer, not impressed. CPU load at 100%

You cant turn raytracing off. Its baked in.

Performs great on my steam deck 🤷🏻‍♂️

The main problem is baked UE5 lumen, that's about it

RT is eating it. Turn that off, there's no real need in it tbf.

I was getting 45-50 fps at 5120 x 1440p and turned everything to high. Game runs around 100fps for me indoors and 60fps outdoors. Still looks great. I'm running native, none of that DLSS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, pure grade A native resolution.

The problem is your CPU.

My specs 9800X3D + 4090 + CL28 RAM = 180 FPS Average with RTX

Seems to run okay for me if i turn off HW Lumen. This is for the open world, inside it runs fine with HW Lumen but drops to 50-60 when out on the map. There really isn't much of a difference between Quality and Performance DLSS for some reason. I'm on a 5080, locked to 75fps via RTSS.

Did you just act like the 4090 isn't still the second most powerful GPU that money can buy? You really that guy? Lol

My CPU is at 50% usage, it's more than fast enough. And you are not getting 180 native FPS at 4k with a 4090 that's ridiculous.

[PainKiller]

nope. 7900xtx here.... out side got 60 fps overall not below and 1440p ultra.... if i use upsacling i get like 70.

[P.]

Is it blurry?

Bruh, the 4090 isn't "old" in the sense of you shouldn't expect good performance out of it. But I do agree raytracing is very demanding on all hardware.

4090 but 5 year old CPU. That is all.
