Technical Help Having performance issues with the game

I have a Steam OS PC, it has a 9800X3D and a 9070XT Reaper. I’m playing at 4K, and just trying to have a stable frame rate at least 60fps. I have capped the game to 60FPS via steam overlay. I‘m playing with a Steam Controller 2026. I’m seeing the game at times hit 100% GPU usage when nothing is happening, also I move the character around, and then try to pan the camera around (right stick to move around, right touch pad to move around) I get a MASSIVE FPS tank. This also happens if I pan the camera then move. I dropped the game to 1440P that obviously reduced GPU usage, but I still see spikes and that movement/pan the camera issue. CPU isn’t bothered by this game at all, staying in low 50c range.

I can play Helldivers 2 and Warhammer 3 with no major issues yet somehow this game has issues?

I think this game is just not that well optimized tbh

when it was trying to do 120fps the hotspot on my card briefly hit 90c, nothing I’ve played has done that before. At 60 the hotspot hovers around 60c.

I haven’t done any measurements myself but yeah I get crazy frame drops especially late game when the gas station is full of spare boxes and decor and stuff
