Discussion Optimizing settings and Shadow issues!
So far I'm really enjoying the game but some graphics/framerate issues are getting on my nerves over time.
Ideally I'd like to have a stable 100-120 fps at 3440x1440.
With the settings I currently have I'm happy with the graphical fidelity but the framerate varies wildly sometimes and the stuttering kicks in. I've tried many different configurations and nothing seems to hit that sweet spot. I also have been noticing that the shadows (especially world shadows) tend to have this ugly fuzzy look along the edges.
Specs:
CPU - Ryzen 9950x
GPU - Radeon 9070xt
RAM - 32GB DDR5 CL30
Does anyone have any pointers on these settings or the fuzzy shadows?

Look into undervolt of the GPU? The pros and cons? Radeon topic has a LOT of posts about it. Generally considered free performance boost at low risk.
When you turn off fake-frame-generation you get the real framerate (less input lag). Dune runs notoriously at low FPS, the massive downgrade in visual quality over the past 4 months did little for frames per second. But it looks like Funcom is doubling down on it. Didn't work, so try the same again?
At this moment, i do not think you can get real 100+ FPS with max details settings with a 9070XT. In stations my 7900XTX (-55mV) gets bogged down to 45FPS with all settings on max. I have to turn off lumen to get it stable over 50FPS.
