Volumetric lighting on Ultra consumes too much resources.

[deadbus]

I'm playing Cyberpunk with raytracing in 4k and have stable 45 FPS. In Last Epoch 4K I have maximum 45 FPS and sometimes it drops to 25, and I'm not even left start location!

I've tried everything. So I got FPS increase only from:
- reducing screen space reflections, it gave me like 2 fps
- reducing volumetric lighting, this one gave me all fps I needed.

Changing other options doesn't affect on fps in my case.

Fascinating topic. Are you asking for help or is this just a statement for your diary?

And just to annoy you: I play on a 4k screen and i NEVER have the problems you QQ about..

cool story bro
if i play cyberpunk in 1440p with raytracing on my pc would explode at 10fps
meanwhile last epoch runs locked 60fps with 45% gpu load to spare.

I can compare with D4, where graphics way better than LE, but I got 50-60 FPS there. Cyberpunk has raytracing, that consumes tons of resources and still gives me better FPS.

144 fps locked ultra setting 2k,, same with Cyberpunk, it's a you problem 100%

Trust me, it's a you problem, check your setup, i can do exactly the same in cyberpunk as you , and every other game for that sake..

A good idea is to try to check your settings and change em and test it out before you try to drag the game down implying it cant handle fps.

It's a post of dissapoinment. I purchased game right after beta release - in 2019 year. It didn't even purchase on Steam, I got it from official site.

And right after purchasing I was heavily dissapointed - it had potato graphics with awful performance.

But developers didn't surrender and kept optimizing game. And now, we are back again in situation where game is heavily unoptimized.

What, I don't deserve a good product? Ofc I will reduce setting and try to play, but developers have to know that they got a problem with performance.

Reduce settings? go borderless windowed and all ultra, turn off vertical sync and cap your fps at 60, turn off shadows? try everything?

Well one has been out for some time and no doubt has had many updates as well as driver revisions, that being said even on my old RX 5600 XT I get better FPS (over all stability) in cyber punk than I do in some areas of this game.

I do hope AMD will tweak the next lot of drivers for this game, I go from 170 FPS to 17. (that's playing Necro with pets)

Turn off G sync? tried that?

hes completely right. here my findings:
ultra volumetric lighting: 200fps 350watts
very high vol. lighting: 240 fps 280watts

So in both cases your system is failing to manage the settings you are trying to run the game at, maybe that should tell you something. If you can only hit 45 FPS in cyberpunk you are hitting some sort of limitation, probably VRAM, how it reacts to that shortage is probably different from how Last Epoch reacts to a similar shortage. Which settings push you over the edge are irrelevant, volumetric lighting is certainly a heavy user of VRAM.
