19fps RTX 4090 on some runs.
So I switched to Medium settings which works well. Is there a setting I should be looking at which causes bad frames on High? Thanks.

What are your full specs?

Personally have 0 issues, so could aswel be something on your end.
I'm not sure why I wouldn't be able to run it. I run everything else, stream, record in 1440p no issues while playing anything else. I thought there may be a known issue, that's all. I bought this game years ago and never had this issue.

Anyhow, AMD 5900X, rtx 4090, 32 gigs ram. SSD HD which my OS Win 10 isn't even installed on. Latest drivers too. It's a high end system honestly and not bottle necked anywhere. Not streaming or recording this game. Nothing else running. Only happens on some runs, not all. Nothing else running, seriously. It's a legit setup.


You cant be serious dude .. use 5900x with 4090 .. dude even my CPU i9 13900k is not enough for this GPU monster ,, its bottleneck .. i have issues with fps .. but more than 20 fps drop from 200 i dont get

So yeah recycle bin your CPU ... you buy 300$ CPU and put with 2k GPU .. amazing mind

My CPU is fine. I'm surprise people with higher CPU having issues... then again games run better on 8 cores than more. Or was that an insult.... not that I care ?

You asked. You got an answer. If you ignore common workarounds and reports regarding AMD CPUs, then it is on you. The pattern so far is clear, that pretty much every similar case can be tracked back to AMD CPUs.

Poor game optimisation, bad servers, spaghetti code and/or has problems working with Steam. Take your pick(s). All these issues have been reported by many people in the official forums and acknowledged for the most part by the Devs. However apparently they use Reddit more; A big red flag on its own.

That said game is alright when it all works.

3 settings to put on low or very low

Grass Density
Volumetric Lightning
Screen Space Reflections (doesnt tank that much fps but it makes the game look washed out and ugly foggy combined with Volumetric Lightning)

Everything else u can let at Maximum.

Im sitting on a 9900k with a 4090 so its not that you have a bad cpu with a good gpu as some people claiming here

1440p Cyberpunk without FG

And with FG
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3189547386

It always depends on the game how much lower your fps is compared to if mine had a 13900k or 14900k
Sometimes more, sometimes less difference but for me it was the bigger upgrade with the 4090 than having to pay an extra €1000 for CPU memory and board in order to end up with between 8-25 fps more

The upgrade from a 2080ti to a 4090 is simply great with around 140-150% more performance

In addition, the new Intels have a lot of problems in many games that I own with their E and P cores, so I won't go into more detail about them now

For me the decision was easy and I'm just waiting for the new Intels

У вас какие то проблемы в настройках или системе. Вы ведь сами понимаете,что это уникальный случай что-бы на таком железе,было столь малое количество фпс.
Ну или это вброс от конкурентов.

So yeah, you do have an i9, and one of the better ones for it's price (like I said earlier, same as I have =) but yes it will cause issues for sure when it's that big of a gap and he's using a "worse one" than the one we have so he for sure will have issues.

His isn't old/bad enough that it should cause his FPS to drop to 19 though which is why I said it can't/shouldn't be the only reason.

So why are you here ?
SomewhatSolo Mar 18, 2024 @ 6:01am 
So the way I look at it the 4090 is a beast. The bottleneck calculator shows most CPU's, even new gen, are not enough for the card. My perspective is that I have the GFX end of things covered no matter what I throw into my system.

My rig was built for Video Production. I can run 2 instances of rendering software and produce 2 high quality 1440p videos at the same time without fully taxing my system.

There are only 2 programs that run my card at 100%

Stable Diffusion and Last Epoch....lol

Never had any issues with a 5800X3D + 4080 Super.

Deactivate the whole telemetry of the game and engine as seen in a guide here on Steam.

Solves any stutter, frame drop or lag issue.

Also have a 4090 on Win 10 with latest drivers, not seeing this behavior. Only thing close I see is on some of the forest levels there are momentary dips into the 40's when a lot of effects happen; but they are momentary, I don't see the sustained drop you're reporting. I have a different CPU and platform though.

My advice, don't use any of these bottleneck calculator sites. To put it as charitably as I can, they are inaccurate and useless.

I'll have a look at doing that. I didn't have any issues with my 3080, maybe some slight drops for a second or two. Thanks for the info.

Thats good positive feedback, I appreciate it. It gives me some hope to get things figured out. Probably something kicked in in the background during game play. Will take some trouble shooting.
