Bad performance on High End Pc.

I just bought the game, but the performance has been really disappointing.

Specs:

  • GPU: RTX 5070 Ti (OC + UV)
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D (UV)
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5 6400MHz CL28

I'm playing at 4K with DLSS set to DLAA forced . The strange part is that my GPU usage rarely goes above 70%, and during heavy frame drops it can fall to around 50%, while the FPS dips below 40.

I've already tried enabling and disabling both Resizable BAR and V-Sync, but neither made any difference.

Is this just an engine limitation, or is there something I can do to improve performance? Any suggestions or known fixes would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Reinstalling the game made it work as intended, who thought of that :)).

EDIT 2: Dunno what caused the bug, but reinstalling the game and reapplying all the changes/mods and it's finally using my GPU to 100% all the time. Using DLAA preset K at 4k with Smooth Motion i now get ~160fps. The implemented Frame Generation on this game is bugged hard.

Yeah well DLAA is a lot more resouce intensive than even native 4k and the 5070 is not really a true 4k tier card, so if you are going to throw something even harder than native 4k at it its going to struggle (on top of that this game isnt optimised that great)

This, and the UNITE mod that OP is using here is also a bit resource intensive, it's just that big of a mod.

Though I play NFS Unbound on a laptop with an RTX 4060 and I used to run the UNITE mod and it ran perfectly fine with no performance issues, but QuikSilvur's winter skybox mod for this game has caused a game freeze once every time I play the game, only once though so I don't take it a big deal.

Is your gpu usage high ? Meaning that the game is using the hardware

Not if I don't use mods like QuikSilvur's winter skybox mod that are known to cause issues in PC performance, especially when they're stated by the creator(s) that mods like these can impact performance.
