I reached act 3 and oh boy its a choppy slideshow. Frametimes are all over the place, and if you turn your camera, or move your character the slightest bit, the fps dips well below 20 and its not just here and there, its constant stuttering and slowdowns indoors, outdoors, everywhere for an entire act that is supposedly much longer then the first 2. Hell i played the game on a 24 fps lock so far, so its not like my standards are high or anything, but the deck cant even manage a steady 24 in act 3, and its not even close (fps goes as low as 9!! at certain spots, but most of the time its jumps around between 14 and 22).
I was kind of expecting this because ive heard how rough act 3 is on demanding pc-s, and the deck was already struggling really hard in more demanding areas in the previous acts, like the monastery or last light inn.
I run the game on an ssd, with everything at low except textures which is on medium, with fsr and taa, cryoutilities, uma 4gb, but sadly no setting or tweaking helps.
And inb4 some coper asks no, my deck is not defective, and i do not have the 400mhz bug. If you are nearing act 3 and have a pc, just do yourself a favor and finish it there.
I dont even know how is this game verified atm, the performance towards the end of the game is certainly much worse than for example the last of us, which had its verified status revoked because of how horrible the performance was at launch.
