is performance still bad?

[Krispy]

had a beefy machine last time I played and still only got 50 fps on medium

[Celltastic]

i mean i feel the performance has improved greatly i get 144 fps with almost no drops

[Nocturnal Pie]

Performance is miles better than it was at launch, dunno when you last played but it's a lot better than it was.

[Halcyform]

Never had a problem with the performance. I played it on console when it launched and later picked up again on Steam when I switched to PC. I picked it up on steam years ago. No problems.

Some games have problems, sure, but most problems tend to be self inflicted.

Performance is pretty bad.

I have a RTX 2070 Super and Ryzen 2700X. I play at 3440x1440 ultrawide, which is a pretty demanding resolution. Not as demanding as 4K, but pretty damn close.

In Karnaca, I was getting 45FPS in the beginning. Then it dropped closer to 30FPS. And as I traveled deeper into the city, just past the first wall of light, the FPS dropped to 19-20FPS.

Compare that to RDR2, where I get 40-50FPS on ultra settings even in Saint Denis... really poorly optimized game.

Looking at some optimization and performance benchmarks, the game runs okay at 1080p. The closer you get to 2160p and 4K, the worse your performance will be. The game is does not scale well into higher resolutions.

One thing you really need to look out for on Steam Discussions are people who have very powerful rigs, but still play at 1080p or non-ultrawide 1440p. Those are very low-level resolutions by todays standards. 1080p is like 720p and 1440p is like 900p now. Imagine having a card like a RTX 2080 Ti and playing at 1080p... your opinion on a lot of stuff will be tainted because you're using a very powerful card on a very weak and undemanding monitor.

I just got a new rig with an i7 10700, 16 GB ram, and an rtx 3060ti. The game ran perfect with all settings maxed out @ 1080p. My old rig with only a gtx 960 would stutter and slow down a lot at Stiltons manor (when you're jumping back and forth thru time or viewing the other time zone thru the timepiece). So this was a more enjoyable playthru. And you should be able to play it at 1440p max settings with the rtx 3070.

I've got a 1060 6GB, i7-3770K and 16GB RAM and at 1440p all low, I get about 70FPS on average. Even at 1080p with same settings it barely goes higher.

my rd5700xt is hating me for playing this game but after I deactivated the dynamic FPS adjustment things got alot better.

[JoJoFan87]

I am having FPS drops up the wazoo here are my specs:

GPU: EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080ti
CPU: Intel Core i7 8700k
Ram: Kingston 16GB DDR4
Motherboard: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X APEX
Monitor: Ultragear 32gn50t HDR10 165hz 32in with Nvidia G-Sync
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Storage: Samsung SSD 850 Pro 512GB and ST2000DM006-2DM164

I keep dipping into the 50's which is ridiculous and I am un-sure what is going on, I should be able to max this game out no problem.

[Kaom]

Most of the people who have performance issues just mindlessly put everything on Ultra.

After 100 hours in the game I watched a video about performance and decreasing the "Texture details" and "Environment Details" from Ultra to Very High increased massively my fps in some locations.

[Delicia Suprema]

In case someone has a ultrawide monitor with only a 2070 i can confirm. You won't be able to play it on ultra in some game areas

[Desparil]

Its bad, still. The framerate is pretty wild. Ive done some testing and there are areas in Karnaca that can't break 60 FPS even with the settings on low (when its averaging way higher). Like the game just cannot do it, its clearly an optimization issue.
