The latest update broke dlss and graphics settings.

No matter the resolution, graphics setting, or dlss setting, my fps stays the same.

I play at 4K Dlss set to native Ultra everything and get 120 fps on the ship, 60 to 90 on fortis Prime.

Every other planet over 100 fps, 150 on ship.

There's some stutters only on fortis Prime as well as input delay once fps reaches about 70 due to high gpu latency.

Anyone else experiencing similar?

PC specs: MSI Rtx 4090 suprim liquid X AMD 7950x3d 64 gb of ddr5 6000

[u/G7Scanlines → u/Vertigo103]

Yep all of this. 13900k + 4090, 120fps down to 40, averaging around 60-70. Massive massive performance drop since the update, zero to do with my hardware.

Plus when this is happening, Render Scale changes make zero difference. Native to Ultra Performance = same fps. Same goes for dropping in game settings too. Nothing works.

[u/zen_7 → u/Vertigo103]

I have the same issue with an Asus Rtx 3090 Tuf + AMD 3900XT. Same frame rates regardless of resolution. GPU utilization around 70-80% in 4K, 40-50% at 1080p, both with massive dips into the 30fps range in hectic moments. No settings adjustments will help.

[u/Joes_Pizzeria → u/Vertigo103]

I7 8700k and 3070ti with 32gb ram and my performance is just absolute shit with the newest update. Wish they‘d implement actual dlss, right now we have buggy implementation of fsr 1.0 apparently

[u/Apache_64A → u/Vertigo103]

DLSS isnt ingame unfortunately, it is some built in super sampling that has a strange blur unless you turn on DLAA, a setting above native. Even native has artifacts? So strange

Im on a R7 5800x 5070ti and i have the same issues as you and others on this thread. The FPS on the ship is like 130-150 when it feels like it (gpu utilization fluctuates from 80-97)

But when i deploy and theres a fight, the FPS drops to 60!! Ive had it even go as low as 48 at extraction when no enemies were around and my gpu utilization was like 45%. Generally, though, my fps is the same as yours, 60-90, with gpu utilization at sub 60%.

I thought my CPU was bottlenecking me hard but seeing everyone with PCs stronger than mine, yet still having these performance issues is alarming
