What Games are you playing right now? [2]

The performance is terrible, such low fps no matter what you do with the settings. It seems like the game isn't leveraging enough of the hardware resources. My GPU only ever uses 60-70% of it's TDP.

I played it for the first time last night and it was as smooth as butter.

Is that with your 2560x1440 screen? How much fps are you getting?

It's flipping between 89 and 107fps. and yes.

What are your settings on?

Some are on ultra high. I turn off blur and use full frame.

Hmm maybe I'm taking a big hit with my resolution (3440x1440). Occasionally I'll get spikes of 75-85 fps but overall the game has me at 50-60 fps. I went as far as lowering some settings to medium and it made no change to the areas where I get 50-60 fps.

Do you ever drop below 80-89 fps?

Not that I noticed but I've only played it an hour. Yes that wide resolution won't help. Your graphics card is more than enough. Might be your CPU.

The game is supposed to be using DX12 now but it appears that they've reduced the CPU's workload quite significantly. With my ultrawide resolution the CPU has to work more to render more objects on screen for the increased FOV. It might not be lack of CPU but instead that the games not leveraging it enough... Is there a FOV setting? I will check if reducing the FOV helps next time I play.

@swarfega Have you got to Fornburg yet?

Yes I have. I'll have to look at the FOV setting, I've not altered it.
