I9 12900KF + RTX 3080 = UNPLAYABLE - don t buy now

[H4wkkk]

Hi,

As the title says I have an I9 12900KF, RTX 3080 and 32GB 3200mhz and game is barely playable. Before screaming that it is my fault, keep in mind that I ve tried everything possible, even playing on low details and still game is unplayable. I also bought a new 32 inch 2k 240hz monitor for this game for nothing ( at least for now ). So, this is how it works:

Everything is perfect if you are in a classroom, or going through certain places. I have between 120-180fps on ultra, RT off ( not a big fan of it ). When I go outside and try to explore, everything is a disaster. It fluctuates between 60 fps and 120-130 fps. I don t think under any circumstances I should run this game at 60 fps with this specs ( remember, also on low details is the same ). Also, in some places even though I have 120-130 fps when I move the camera it feels like playing on 60HZ. If I try to explore 1 minute the castle, 30 secs out of it means lag, stuttering and 60-70-80 fps in some places.

I made this post for people questioning if they should buy the game now. It s a lottery in my opinion. Just wait until a good patch will come, because right now this is the worst experience you can get if you are unlucky. Totally regret buying the Deluxe version for this, but I never expected to be this bad. Don't believe everyone from here that says game is perfect and smooth and we have problems with our PCs:)

Also: GPU 100% utilization on 76C degrees max
CPU 35% max utilization with 60C ( don t know if this utilization is good or s omething it s happening )
RAM: 18GB used or something like this

13h gameplay 120 avf/fps ultra setting + amd FSR 2... (1080p)
0 problems, buy game is one of the best... full AMD spec...

Let's see how fast people will jump here with their specs and be like: "Yea, my game works fine." :D

Same specs as you and I have zero problems on ultra for everything, don't know what to say bud.

i7 9700k RTX3080 16Go RAM

I got 0 problems the game work perfect on 1440p

So it doesn't dip below a minimum of 60 FPS based on your post. That's completely playable, regardless of your specs.

Either tweak as applicable or wait until it's patched.

You can get a refund. Got one after 13h in it.

that sucks, hope you get t figured out.

fwiw im running a 12700H and a 3070t in my laptop connected to a 65" C1

1440p DLSS Quality Ultra settings, 90fps cap and it stays right around there except for the slight drops which arent too noticeable due to the fps cap. Not a huge loss for me since its a single player game lol

I updated the DLSS to the newest version and that helped to smooth the extreme hitches

if he limits fps to 60, then yes everything is smooth and non issue, but dropping from 100+ to 60 in an instant, you notice it and it is BAD. my pc is close to what op haves, and i can't even play at 60. no mattter what settings, none of them makes ANY kind of difference.

get a better pc

[vito74m]

it seems that when someone writes that his game works badly he is not allowed to write that I work well, he looks for those who also work badly for them and only with such posts will agree, it's such a disease of steam trolls.

When it hits 60-70 fps the stuttering is crazy and it feels unplayable. I ve played games before with 70-80fps and indeed the overall experience was great. The point I m trying to make is there are big performance issues, even though everyone here with CPU s bottlenecking the GPU can play this game ''smooth and with 0 problems''. Or maybe we should all buy 3060s and i7 9700k s, who knows

You get a min of 60fps in a Single Player game and it is unplayable ? Lol.

That s really funny. I don t even look at the fps usually, but this time I had to install Rivatuner out of curiosity. When you try different settings for 2 hours just to move your camera outside of Hogwarts and not feel like a game from 2010, it s not a small glitch

60 fps minimum = Unplayable... most first world problem I've ever heard. The game is currently known for frame drops - wait for patches. Also, if you're running on a HDD (which I assume u aren't given your specs), then well, don't.
