If anyone wasn't aware, there is a mod to replace FSR2 with DLSS and it is INCREDIBLE for performance if your system supports it. I went from all minimum with 40-50fps to well over my 144 target on medium (indoors) and running okay (60 with some drops) in tough scenes outdoors.
Running on a 2070.
I tried that and saw no difference unfortunately.
I'm just confused because I have an i9 9900k and a 4070ti, neither are even remotely close to being worked hard and yet I can't break 50fps. Like half vram usage and maybe 10% CPU/GPU usage. I thought I had it running smoothly, but it's a smooth 30fps...
Yikes... is your monitor plugged into your GPU (and not your motherboard)?
Lol yeah it's all hooked up correctly. Just don't get why it seems to not be utilizing my system efficiently. :/
Finally took the time to check my performance. I've got a 3070ti and a Ryzen 9 3900x, CPU is at ~55% utilization and GPU is ~95% at maybe 40 fps average. That's at ultra on all settings, with the DLSS mod and a render scale of 80%.
Have the recent driver & game updates helped at all?
I'm an idiot and for the entire year I've had my 4k monitor I never enabled the setting on the monitor that allowed it to run at 60hz so I was always locked at 30fps with vsync...
I couldn't say if the recent update helped as I just discovered this new level of my idiocy yesterday lol
I have a 4070ti as well and it struggles a bit in NA. Probably under twenty FPS in the most crowded places
