WHAT is up with west coast performance??!!

@DEVS what have you done with west coast? it lags like a bag, why?

i had gtx 1080 and i was able to play beamng in 4k, altho i preferred 1440p as visual difference was very small and 4k was bit too heavy for 1080, but in 1440p 60fps my GPU usage was only about 60-70%

recently i got rtx 3080, i put beamng in 4k and i get 45fps in west coast ... WHY?
GPU usage in 4k is about 40-50% only
i put it back in 1440p and i still get 45-55fps with GPU usage below 40%

GPU usage is below 40% at all times (in 1440p 60fps)
CPU usage below 50% aswell, altho can go higher with big vehicles or multiple vehicles
VRAM usage 4-6gb out of 10gb
RAM usage below 80%, depending on background programs. if i close everything, it easily stays below 50%

This means THERE IS NO HARDWARE BOTTLENECK, so why does west coast lag so bad? it's unplayable because it also has this stutter when driving fast, it's like what early version of beamng had, it's the pre-calculations that game makes if there's possibility that you might crash into something at high speed, then it prepares for a crash. this pre-calculation stutter/lag wasn't happening for a long time, but now in recent updates it's back again.

i saw someone else mentioning bad west coast performance and stuttering aswell, so it's not just me.

as PC expert, there's NOTHING WRONG with my pc, i haven't changed anything and other games run perfectly fine.
Why does BeamNG gets worse with every update? i have never had performance issues in beamng before, long ago i played it with gtx 680 in 1080p and it ran fine aswell.

ALL MODS WERE DISABLED!!

Please check individual CPU core/logical processor usage in task manager. Could still be a bottleneck in one of them, even if overall usage isn't as high. But honestly, it's probably some issue with either the software or the game.

i use core temp, it shows individual cores and they're all well below 90%
only during initial loading it maxes out CPU, but once map is loaded it drops to below 40%

either way it used to work fine with this same setup, so only logical conclusion is that it's issue with game. as i said, i've seen others complain about west coast performance issues aswell. they messed something up in recent updates.
