Awful performance with brand new powerful PC

[The Squid]

At 1920x1080 at max settings I get 15FPS. If I turn shadows down to high and switch to FXAA, I get up to 28FPS.

I'm running
i7-10750H
RTX 2070 super
16GB RAM
1GB SSD

This seems outrageously poor for my specs. How do I fix this?

There is a known problem with some of the more recent Nvidia drivers. Search the recent threads and you should find more info.

If that is the issue, just using a previous version will sort it. The threads will have more info and which drivers work.

Also, your specs are fine. Might want to get a bigger SSD though, lol. ;)

Great, thanks for your help! :)

And about the SSD... We'll see, haha

I run this game at i5-9600kf 4.8Hhz, 2060 super and minimum fps I get is 70 with ultra settings fullhd. Average fps is 85

No you dont. Unless you have PCSS shadows and HBAO+ Ultra deactivated. And even then its more like 60. Stop telling lies. But who knows, maybe you play at 720p, then it might be true.

Even benchmark systems with better hardware get only like 40FPS. With all settings on max. The Nvidia gameworks effects are just tearing the engine apart. I recommend disabling PCSS shadows and HBAO+ Ultra. Then you usually get almost twice the FPS.

He said full HD, so that means 1080p. I mean even I get higher than 40 with a 970 at 1080p, so it's not that impossible to believe his fps from my perspective.

Yep just tested. Ran the game at ultra settings, had to restart and I get around 35-40 frames. And that’s 970 paired with an i5 3470. So the hardware he/she is rocking should definitely be able to double that. Lol

Daytime I am around 33-35 but get up to 40s in some streets. just tested night time and I jump up to 45-50. And my hardware is decrepit. So I suspect the guy was telling the truth to be honest. Now, must turn down graphics as I don’t want to start a fire. Lol

ps I suspect if I disabled the 60fps cloth physics I added I may even squeeze a few more frames. But not sticking to ultra high, going back to very high settings where I get a comfortable ( for me) 50-75 depending on the scenario.
