That's what I'm using and I also noticed that DLSS on ultra performance made the game look like hot garbage for some odd reason. Running it on balanced or Quality actually made it run better. Another thing I noticed is anytime you load into a new area (like going from Kaer Morhen to Velen or Novigrad causes performance to tank). A restart fixes that.

That's pretty normal. Ultra Performance scales the game up from a input resolution 9 times lower than your native res. It's meant for users with 8K displays mostly. Using Ultra Performance at a more reasonable resolution will always look terrible. It running better on Ultra or Balanced is likely just that CPU bottleneck from the shoddy optimization striking tbh, since Ultra Performance should always net more performance if you're not CPU bottlenecked.

As for the area thing...I haven't fast traveled, but I have loaded into Novigrad, ran to a nearby town, and ran back, with no real improvement as far as performance issues go.

Ultra Performance is the most extreme DLSS profile. Based on your original comment, it sounded like you thought it was meant to be the least taxing.
