FPS Drops in crowded areas

[captainfulcun]

Hi everyone,

I’m enjoying the game so far, and while the performance is generally good, I’m experiencing FPS drops in certain areas with large crowds.

My system specs are:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D
GPU: RTX 4070 Ti (Gigabyte Eagle OC) 12GB
RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
Storage: NVMe 2TB Samsung 980 Pro

I’m running the game with everything set to Very High, Ray Tracing on Very High (except for shadows on Medium and ambient occlusion on High). Most of the time, I get around 80-100 FPS, but in some areas with dense crowds, FPS drops to almost 57-60, with some stuttering.

I already deleted the dxstorage files, which helped fix some initial FPS issues, but this problem in certain city areas still persists. Is anyone else experiencing this? I’m wondering if my CPU is too weak for this game, or if this is more of an optimization issue cause i don't have this problems with Spiderman remastered or Miles morales.

1440P DLSS Quality, FG On, Maxed Settings, Lock 100FPS (spinning in the crowd, TV@100Hz)

3152x1662P DLSS Balanced, FG On, Maxed Settings, 90-100FPS (spinning in the crowd, TV@100Hz) <-Best Settings, Stable FPS

Using a resolution higher than 3152x1662, DLSS Balanced, FG On, and max settings on a 4090, when fast spinning in the crowd can cause FPS to drop at least 25 to 45🤡


Gaming / OBS Recording / on same PC
It runs buttery smooth on my TV
