Why am I experiencing poor FPS with a high-end GPU?

-

I’ve been struggling with low FPS recently despite having an RTX 3090. My game hardly crosses 30 FPS, especially during battles with the Illuminate, and this happens even on the lowest graphics settings. Has anyone else faced similar issues or found a solution?

I’ve got a 4080 and noticed that my FPS drops quite a bit during Illuminate maps, mainly in dense city areas filled with large enemy groups. It seems like they might still be working on optimizing those parts of the game. A friend of mine sees good performance against bugs and stable FPS on bots unless the enemies get too small and numerous.

Sounds like a classic CPU bottleneck situation. Even with a hefty graphics card like yours, the game might be leaning heavily on your processor, especially in CPU-intensive scenarios. I’m using a 3060 and manage 60 FPS in 4K, so definitely check if your CPU is holding you back.

Given your GPU, it’s surprising you’re experiencing low FPS. Although the RTX 3090 is powerful, the game itself is pretty CPU-heavy. I’m running a 4070Ti paired with a 78003XD and barely drop below 90 FPS on ultra settings. You might want to look at upgrading your CPU if you haven’t already.

Haha, only a 3090? Compared to something like a 4090, sure, but it’s still a solid card. Definitely check the CPU situation.
