    The game, without using dlss mods, runs at 30fps with some stutters on my system using the optimized settings from hardware unboxed (linked) on a 4060ti. If I install the DLSS-FG mods I immediately get 60-90 fps in all areas, that alone should tell you everything you need to know…

    Heres the rub, Im not a FPS whore. Its generally a good experience for this game at 30 FPS assuming you use a gamepad/xbox controller. KB+M it gets really jittery and theres input lag. The game was clearly playtested only using a gamepad. The reactivity of a mouse for looking is much different and the lower FPS the game is optimized for becomes harder to digest.

    I have also tested on my 1650ti max-q, and a 1070. Both the 4060ti and 1070 were on an egpu.

    My system has an 11th gen i7-1165g7 and 16 gb ddr4 ram. I play at 1080P in all cases.

    For the 1650ti and the 1070 the game runs fine IF I do the following

    • i set the preset to Low (expected) and THEN turn scaling back up to maximum/100% and/or disable FSR entirely
    • set indirect shadows to something above medium (which allows the textures to run normally, otherwise they are blurry).

    Even on the 4060ti, it saying its using 100% of the GPU but it is only pulling like 75-100 W, when it would normally pull 150-200W under load easy.

    TL:DR - this game isnt optimized, at least for NVIDIA cards. They should acknowledge that.
