fix for low fps and 100% gpu usage
if anyone have issues with low fps despite seeing on youtube that game working fine on similiar specs i found the answer

idk why but setting resolution scale low to like 60% and putting anti aliasing to ultra (yes it has to be on ultra otherwise game will look like hot garbage on this res scale) gives me best results

pc specs i tested it on were:

i5 6500
16 gb ram ddr4
gtx 1060 6 gb
windows 10 pro
(it was all tested on different steam acc in case anyone wondering where is my badge for owning game)

on default 100% res scale and all setting set to low i was averaging about 35 fps in starting location

now i use 58% res scale,post processing textures and view distance on high - rest on low i have around 80-90 stable fps

Most games will be GPU bound so will say 100% GPU usage. Your CPU is also well below minimum specs.

dont rly care - it was only for the purpose of the test and as i said it averages about 80 fps

also most games i played on that pc (dark and darker,tarkov,planetside,csgo,hunt showdown) were cpu bound

Smalland optimization is a mess, they should rly start improving that aspect of the game.

I agree the optimization is absolute garbage, however i recently looked through the graphics and noticed FSR mode, its seems to help activating that, and then you can turn off the willow wisps in the preferences menu of the settings which seemed to help me

I think you should think about low and medium for everything. I'm on an RTX2080 at 1080p and the game will stutter - but I dropped everything to high, except antialiasing which I put to low and got DLSS on quality and it stopped stuttering.
