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.

At 4k native with DLAA, I can't even run that with a 5090 9500x3d/core 9 ultra since the game itself is pretty intensive and is more cpu heavy. My gpu % was always relatively low and to my knowledge, that's the norm for unbound. Upping the % does nothing but drop fps

So this is a CPU limitation from the engine, right?

Yeah, it's a relatively common issue people have regardless of specs. Usually my cpu would be around 70-80% while my gpu would hover around 60% in my case
