This is perfectly normal if you are using native resolution and maximum graphics settings. DX12 is a resource hog.

If you want more fps, you should use the resolution scaling setting and set it below native. Even Ultra Quality will give you a nice boost in framerate.

Another trick to gain some fps would be to delete the shader cache file of the game and force it to use DX11 with a Steam launch command. You can find guides for this, I can't search them right now.

Try DX11 that gave me a solid 20-30fps boost. The post above do that and use the code below this.
--use-d3d11

It's 'normal', the game is *really* CPU heavy.

cpu bound, uupgrade cpu.

My CPU is only at 40% usage in game....would faster CPU help my fps

You could check benchmarks with CPUs like the 7800X3D on Youtube but I don't think the upgrade will be worth it tbh.

The game needs a CPU optimization pass for sure. Also some people think the anti-cheat might be a big CPU hog.

Checked the Windows task manager.

On my system, nProtect was eating ~10% of my CPU usage.

That's a sizeable amount. At this point the AC should be replaced/removed. The game has already been cracked open by the willing people and a lot are just spawning mechs/vehicles already or filling themselves up with max samples.

Funny thing the mechs are now a mod on nexus so yea the anticheat doesn't even try to stop people messing with the game files lol

AMD GPUs underperform by almost 40% on average in HD2.

Cheaters gonna cheat. I don't think it's worth fighting an endless battle against them which comes at the expense of people's performance (if it truly is very demanding). And from what I've read gameguard is not exactly a good choice for an AC in the first place.

I still think the CPU side is the bigger issue. I could put the game on the lowest graphical settings and I would still drop to 40FPS in fights.

7900XT and Ryzen 5 3600 (old, I know) here.

Decided to check Destiny 2's anti-cheat solution, BattlEye, for comparison.

According to task manager, it was using less than 2% of my CPU.

Gotta wonder what GameGuard is doing to be that intensive in the first place.
