4.0.1: GTX1070 FPS drops from 70 to 22

[Landa]

Good morning,

the latest Patch 4.0.1 lead to a massive FPS drop for GTX1070.
Previous Settings: GTX1070, 2560 x 1440 High resolution. DirectX 12, 60-70FPS.
After Patch: 22 FPS with the same settings.
I played a little with the settings and the highest FPS i got was about 45 with the lowest resolution.

Plz fix this.

Same thing on GTX1650

Try launching the game in Direct 11 instead of 12, that fixed the problem for me. Their DX12 implementation has a lot of problems.

Edit: Yeah 4.0.1 was a huge downgrade for performance. Hope for a fix soon!

I've tested dx11 and performance is a bit better than on dx12 but it's still way worse than prior patch

Did you set SSR high befrore the patch ?

If you have SSR on high + TAAU, you will have a terrible framerate.
If you set SSR on low, you'll get your fps back, the same as v4.00.
If you play DX12, you can set SSR on high, but change the antialiasing method, not TAAU, but FSR or DLSS, the game will run much smoother.
If you play dx11, whatever you do, dx11's SSR is still broken.

dx12 is more CPU intensive - play in dx11 if you have no a good CPU (i5 10400/11400, r5 3600/5500, i3 12100 - minimum for less fps drops and 16gb RAM with swap file 10-12gb) + set screen space reflection on low

Did you check your GPU utilisation? If it is negligible we might have the same problem. I also have a GTX 1070, low fps and a laggy game since my CPU has to do all the work.
I started this game recently so I do not know how it would have been before the patch.
