    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…

          Lol yeah it’s all hooked up correctly. Just don’t get why it seems to not be utilizing my system efficiently. :/

            I have a 4070ti as well and it struggles a bit in NA. Probably under twenty FPS in the most crowded places

            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
