Hi,
like for many others, my pc too suffers from poor performance. I used the prologue spawn and panopticum areas for my benchmarks. No matter which video setting I change, my fps always remained the same.
60 fps in spawn area
45 fps when looking at the panopticum (the spaceous area after ascending the first ladder)
the only setting that affects my fps is RTX. Turning RTX to ON + LOW drops my fps further down by 10.
Any other setting, such as the presets, DLSS, worker threads in the launcher menu, even the resolution setting, do not affect my fps. Running the game on 2560x1440 and highest preset or 1440x900 and lowest preset make no performance difference.
My buddy uses almost the exact hardware setup, only difference is he is using 2 16GB RAM sticks instead of one 32 GB RAM stick and he can run this game (even during hordes) on native resolution at 90 to 120 fps
I checked the temperature of my watercooled cpu while playing. If this is a cpu taxing game, the avg temp should be higher than 63°C, right? In less demanding games, my CPU temp usually is around 75°C. So i suspect this game is not utilizing my CPU effectively.
