When a player uses a flamethrower, my FPS drops to PowerPoint levels, even with all settings turned to low. Seems worse than the toxflamer for some reason.

Turn dlss on. It’s a massive performance increase.

I’m playing on a 3080TI getting 130fps on medium in missions.

Also double check that motion blur is off. And check if particle effects are on.

Also do a clean reinstall of your GPU drivers.

All effects are off, DLSS seems to give input lag (both with reflex on and off), so it’s unusable.
