Bad performance until I change settings off and on again

[Teero]

Sometimes it's DLSS, sometimes it's the texture quality but everytime I launch the game I'm having terrible performance before I toggle seemingly random graphics settings back and forth.

Drivers are up to date and my PC can handle the game perfectly fine after the initial hurdle.

You need to dial down the "Texture Pool Size" setting (restart afterwards to be on the safe side) so that you have about 20-30% VRAM headroom, and then keep it at that lowered setting. These massive drops with DLSS and/or Raytracing are related to the VRAM being exceeded, causing the texture pool to swap over into system memory (there appears to be a memory leak).

Changing settings back and forth is a temporary fix, it can cause the texture pool to be cleared, but it will fill up and spill over again eventually, depending on the length of your gameplay.

Thanks man. I just had to put the textures down a notch.

I would also recommend ray tracing off as that will eat your FPS regardless of how powerful your rig is.

I will see how it runs down the line. I actually never played a game with decent ray tracing and I definitely want to check it out.
