Low fps on 2080ti
Hi everyone.

Getting really low fps (22-28) with a 2090ti paired with a Ryzen7 3700x.
Running at 1440p high settings, with medium RTX. Every benchmark I can find says I should be running at 45-66.

Any ideas?

I think that RTX effects cut your fps down. You should avoid activating those functions.
I myself play with an 8 years old processors AMD FX 8350 4Ghz 8 core and damn the game is running buttery smooth.
And I even pushed the resolution to 4K on an HD screen.

Incredible how the game runs well and looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ photorealistic.

Clearly this is not normal. Reinstall your drivers with DDU and make sure to have the latest W10 version.

Reinstalled drivers and it didn't work. Managed to fix it as it was a DX12 issue.
I had to go into Exploit Protection and make some tweaks there. Video below explains it in more detail.

Just to save yourself a bit of searching for future issues:

PC Gaming Wiki tends to have fixes like that posted after being tested by the people who run it.

Any RTX 2080 Ti should be able to reach 60fps (or close) at 1440p max settings and ray tracing

I now get between 45 and 60 at 1440p max, RTX medium after doing the fix i posted. It dips into the 30s but that is by far the exception rather than the rule. Thanks for the help everyone!

I play with my RTX 2080 S with around 80-100fps at ultra settings with rtx medium.
You need do activate DLSS 2.0 to achieve that frames. I didnt notice any major loss in picture quality with DLSS.

Enable DLSS if you haven't.

Dlss I get over 60 with everything maxed at 1440p on a 2080 super

I put everything on the highest except Screen Space Reflections and Global Reflections (medium) and i put MSAA and film grain off. Rest is set to the maximum.

I have 60FPS with a resolution of 4k and render resolution 2k. Ray tracing is set to off, since i have a MSI GTX 1080 X+.

If you have raytracing enabled, turn it off!

So, my advice is, put screen space reflections quality and global reflections to medium, turn off raytracinng which gives you a massive boost.

I understand that people want to have raytracing but the RTX 2000 serie's aren't ready for it. Even the RTX 3000 serie's raytracing is still not worth it.

I'm planning to buy a RX 6900 XT from AMD or a RTX 3090 begin next year. Going to wait for some more benchmarks but i ain't going to buy it to use raytracing. Even those cards can't give stable FPS in recent games with raytracing enabled.

I would give raytracing one more GPU generation. Maybe with the RTX 4000 series or AMD's RX 7000 serie's which will probarly hit the market over 2 to 3 years.

i get around 60fps 1440p all maxed out without dlss with rtx 3070 and r5 3600 with some oc.

I actually managed to sort it by turning of Control Flow Guard. I also hadn't upgraded windows in ages so wasn't on 20H2 which would have made a huge difference

Actually with the 20H2 update performance is lower, at least consistently in 3D-Mark.

This update is just needed if you want to use RT in DX12 (e.g. for Godfall on AMD-cards). This game supports RT via NV directly and doesnt need that update.

doesn't sound like you have DLSS on.

on a 2080 Ti you should be fine setting everything to max at 1440p with ray tracing on. on the 2080 Ti i set DLSS to the second, balanced, option, and the FPS never went below 60. i was using an 8700K

The control flow guard completely sorted it out. I may have also had my GPU in the wrong PCIe slot and that was the real problem. But even so I was still able to get above 60fps 1440p rtx with DLSS with the CFG turned off
