incredibly terrible performance on a 3060

[KirbyOfTheStars]

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Operating System: Windows 11
RAM: 16 GB
game is installed on an external ssd, if that means anything
low frame rate, and frequent crashes.

no problems here using a 3060 also (gonna get a 40 series soon)

Processor: 13th Gen Intel i7-13700K
Motherboard: Z790 PG SONIC
Ram: Crucial 32GB 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 4800
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
Internal NVME: Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB
Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit
VR Headset: Pimax 8K X with Sword Controllers

that external drive probably isn't doing you any favors going thru a usb port? 2.0 or 3.0?

its going through a usb 3.0 port. is there a better way to hook up an external drive?

Are you sure you’re using the 3060 and not the built-in graphics on the CPU?

Is it more than connecting the 3060 to the monitor?

you should see if the hdmi is connected to the monitor, if it is plug it into your gpu

I had no problems on mine or my brother's 3060s

Though,I think m your problem is more with your CPU. Don't quote me but a 5700x is better than a 5700G if that makes sense? I could be wrong. I don't remember my brother's specs in full but I think that the CPU is a Ryzen 7 5700x, 12gb 3060 and 64gb of ram.

I'd recommend either a new CPU or even some thermal paste on the GPU. Sometimes,in my experience,I've often had crashes and blue screens with other games cos of something that I've overlooked like thermal paste and surprisingly,I'm often right.

Also,before you try any of that, you mentioned it was installed on an external SSD? Have you tried installing it on an internal one? I ran my game off of a regular 1tb hard drive and it was fine. I've told my brother to upgrade his drives to SSDs for faster load times though.

Posted this in another thread.
You can check this,
NVIDIA Control Panel – Manage 3D settings
Check if there’s an option under Global Settings to choose Preferred graphics processor.

I ran this on a gtx 970 back a the start, before getting a 1070 ti, while the 970 did struggle a little I still had a very good experience and finished the game with it. Now the 1070ti did not struggle at all.

My point being its odd you are having issues with at 3060. I also doubt its your cpu, my 3600 can run it fine too.

Have you tried, even just as an experiment to use your internal drive, even with usb3, the access speeds wont be up to an internal ssd. (I appreciate you probably don't have much space, but can you temporarily uninstall some programs to get the game to fit, just to try).

Installing the game on my internal ssd didn't work, either. game still crashes.
i think this is all i can do until i check the thermal paste on my cpu

[the thing.]

I don't do many computer things, but would be updating your drives another solution?

What headset are you using, what resolution are you attempting to run it at (that is, what's the SteamVR resolution setting) and what refresh rate is set for the headset?

Your drive may give you slow load times but the crashing and low fps sounds like too high a rendering resolution/refresh rate which may be over stretching your hardware.
