While the frame rate I've been getting is not at all consistent, I do get 45-90 fps, which is quite playable with Freesync. Running 3840x1600 w/5800X3D and 6700XT. Not too crazy of a system. From my understanding, it's the 2000 and 3000 series Nvidia cards mainly having issues.

3060ti here with zero issues.

It’s Bethesda. The bugs also depend on the moon phase, the average length of your pubes and the number of coins in your wallet.

That depends on the number of residents in your household. Mean if it is an even number, median if it is odd.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

How should I know? Maybe you slept through seventh grade math.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good to hear. From what I've been reading, there are a lot of users (maybe just a vocal minority?) with 2000 and 3000 series cards that are performing poorly with the same GPU at 1440p high and at 1080p low settings. The graphical settings don't seem to affect performance for those users.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not the GPU. The game is largely CPU bound.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some of the specs I was reading from those particular complaints had 13600 Intel CPU's or Ryzen 7600 and up. I can't imagine those are CPU bound at 1080p. There might be some differences at that resolution, but they should be able to hit 60FPS at 1080p low.

Checking in with a Ryzen 7600 and an Nvidia 2060. Runs fine no complaints, medium-high settings. I didn't know there was outcry about poor optimization until I saw this article here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Same here, 3060ti with ryzen 3600

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I bought it and tried it with my 2080. Between 40-45 fps. Then I pirated it and it runs at 50-60 fps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had Freesync set to ON on my monitor and it caused a ton of flashing like a strobe light was on. When I turned it off it went away. Any idea what that could have been? I'd like to be able to use it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't say I've seen this issue. What GPU are you using, and are you using the latest drivers? What is the VRR setting in the game set to?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a nvidia rtx 2080 super. Yeah I downloaded the latest drivers. I dont see VRR. I see VRS and I have it on. Also have vsync on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I meant VRS. I have VRS on and Freesync enabled on my monitor. I don't know why you would have problems unless it's specific to Nvidia, your monitor, or some other software co-morbidity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'll check it out. Thanks for the help

My 2070 super has been running everything smoothly on High at 3440x1440 (CPU is a Ryzen 5600X, game installed on an M.2 SSD). I haven't been closely monitoring frames, but I cannot think of a single instance where it's noticeably dropped, which for me usually means 50+ fps for games like this. I may even test running on some higher settings, but I've done very little tweaking/testing.

I did, however, install a mod from the very beginning that lets me use DSLL, which likely helps a ton.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's great. There are others that are having performance issues though. I hope it gets sorted out for them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bet it would run even better with DLSS

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Technically I'm using DSLL 3.5 from that mod I mentioned, but native DSLL support would likely be even better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

3090 & 5800X3D and runs like a charm, easily staying above 60 fps with all settings at ultra 1440P. 1 CTD in 20+ hours of gameplay

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome! CTD are inexcusable in a AAA game, but in 20+ hours of gameplay that isn't too terrible.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

3080 here with zero issues. Running on ultra everything I get 50-60 fps consistently with dips down to 30 once or twice briefly in really busy areas. Also at 2160p resolution too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also seems to run just fine so far on my 3080ti, 12700k, though perhaps the lukefz dlss3 mod helps?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

DLSS3 is only supported on the 4 series of nvidia GPUs
