Issue Description:
Getting at most 80 FPS in calm spots and as low as 40 FPS usually when multiple enemies spawn or when first entering some rooms that I assume are loading many new things.
GPU and CPU usage both at about 40% or 50% basically all the time (GPU usage does increase with more enemies on screen but doesn’t increase FPS), lowest settings with DLSS on. Changing video settings makes no difference on performance, only increases or decreases GPU usage (up to 100% then start losing frames, duh).
I can only assume it’s a CPU bottleneck since GPU can clearly handle more than im throwing at it, but somehow I’m losing frames when there’s a lot happening.
CPU cores usage is maxing out on some and barely even using others (Changing worker threads number also makes no difference unless it’s on very low numbers that make performance even worse, down to a max of 60 FPS on 1 thread).
Attempted Solutions:
Tried:
- Changing every single relevant video setting, even those in text files suggested by other players on steam guides.
- Updating GPU drivers.
- Installing on HDD and then on SSD.
- Turning off steam overlay.
- Closing literally every other application.
- Installing new case fans (lowered heat from about 80º to 60º but no change in performance).
- GPU power usage was already set to highest performance.
- Verified files integrity.
- Setting the game’s application to run on higher priority.
Platform:
Steam
PC Specifications:
Windows 10
I7-12700KF
RTX 2070
16GB RAM DDR4
Tried installing the game on both SSD and HDD, no change in performance besides faster loading screen.
