DX12 bad performance

[Mr.Pool]

Hi, im having a problem that probably some of you also have; when roaming open fields, it runs smooth (60fps capped 70% GPU usage). When i go to the main village in White Orchard it drops to 45-50 fps but still with 70% GPU usage.. I tried lowering graphic settings but nothing seems to work.
When i switch to DX11 game runs fine everywhere.
Is there something to be done? or just wait until CDPR fixes this issue? Im pretty sure its due to the game's poor optimization, cause i never had that problem on any other game.

EDIT: Forgot to say im not using RT.

Nothing you can do, They have to fix it on their end. And AMD/Nvidia may need to release drivers for it.

70% GPU usage is not running smooth. That is broken DX12 optimization that CDPR needs to fix.

JK. Game runs fine for me so you're lying or your PC is broken. /s

yep, its almost unplayable even with a 4090. just need to pretend it doesn't exist until they fix the stuttering

runs really good on my cheap ass 6500xt but a lot of stuttering dx12 more playable than dx11 atleast for me

Ok, i'll repeat it then; 70% usage with 60fps is ok (cause i have fps capped), then when i go to the main village fps drops but gpu usage is the same (so its not using the gpu at max, if my usage were 100 and fps drops then yes, i would have to lower graphics, but this is not the case).

That's weird, i dont have stuttering, just fps drops, and i have better performance on dx11 than dx12

That just sounds to me like a broken DX12 implementation. Because shouldn't the usage % go up if you go to main village, thus require more power to match the frame cap you have? Either way, this sounds like a universal problem because DX11 giving better performance than DX12 on same settings isn't how it should be. DX12 is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and CDPR needs to fix this.

try renaming that d3d11tod12 file or whatever. that helped for me alot. I was having partial GPU usage also.

same thing is happening in death stranding dc with the intell xess implementation.

Thoughts on this?

Ofc fellow witcher!

X:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\x64_dx12

this is where mine is.

It seems i already moved it from the folder and i forgot xD.. Anyway low gpu usage persists. oh boy, can't wait to reach Novigrad and see the fps... xD. In any case, thanks for the help!

Count me in on this bad PC performance issue. Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3080, 128gb of PC3600 DDR4, and playing W3E is like watching a slide show. Didn't even make it out of Yennefer's room at Kaer Morhen before I shut the game down because it was going to make me motion sick. I'm going to shelve it for a bit and come back later after they patch the patch.

I dont have RT graphic card, but for what i heard, yeah, its basically impossible to play

[MoonDoes]

It runs, feels and eats gpu like an emulated game...

[rockingon]

I think we can all agree now that the DX12 implementation was botched.

3080 ti here, fps drops to the 20's, GPU usage is low and right now it feels awful to play
