RTX 4070 not good enough.

I played this game 2 years ago on RTX 3060 Ti. I didn't expect those days any good performance with Ray tracing on. Now i have RTX 4070 and i hoped it can handle full details with ray tracing , however the performance is pretty same as it was with 3060Ti. Do i miss something ?

RT in this game is so heavy,it makes 4090 suffer ,with FG you can play at 60fps.

Imagine - the 5080 now has the same performance as the 4080.This has long been a normal situation in the fraud industry.You shouldn't be surprised, but in any case, the 4070 is very good, it will last for a long time in 60 ~ 100 frames with tracing, depending on the game and optimization.This game has a crooked old dying core.There is no optimization here and never has been.

For some reason i can't turn on frame generation. The option is greyed out.

Turn on the "hardware accelerated GPU scheduling" option and restart your computer.This is located in Windows- System - Graphics settings.Frame generation will be available to you in all games where this option is available.

The game is CPU bound because it no longer threads properly so 1 or 2 threads are hitting 100% for seconds at a time while the other threads do essentially nothing and turning on RT makes it even worse. Try leaving RT off and crank everything up except crowd density which is also hard on CPU usage. If you set it to Medium then it's the same as original. Go into the new Nvidia App and enable the DLSS 4 Override for Upscaling then you can turn on DLSS Quality and it will look better than native TAAU (TAA Upsampled). Game still looks great without RT. If you are getting good framerates, say 90 or above you could also try enabling the DLAA override in the Nvidia App and the game really looks good, nice and crisp without looking oversharpened by a sharpening filter

Thanks, now it works. To be honest i was a little bit skeptical about frame generations , but surprisingly it work pretty well. So far i didn't notice any artefact or anything distracting and it give me 100+ FPS in Velen RT on maxed out 1080p. Can't go to Novingrad yet, but if i get 60+ FPS there , then i will be happy. So far so good.

For the future.
Its better to write all your pc specs.

Gaming isnt only about GPU. More and more games are also CPU heavy. And of course CPU can bottleneck your GPU. (also 24GB RAM slowly becoming minimum/standard for games)
For example if I keep my older CPU and use it with new GPU, that CPU would make GPU 40% "weaker". So I had to buy also new CPU - to use whole potential of GPU.
