Hi i am wondering if anyone knows how to increase the game running smoother for my self, I have a 3080 GPU, I9 14900, and 48gig of ddr5 ram and the game still spikes like crazy, im guessing its a game issue but im wondering if anyone knows anything to get smoother gameplay? Im also playing on 4K. Mostly around the base i get the bad FPS.

  1. Your FPS is bad, but most importantly: you didn’t write how much? In addition, I personally am not sure that the 3080 will work smoothly in 4K, this is not its load order. Your screenshots don't show the most important thing, what mode you're playing in.
  2. You need to switch to DX11, Fullscreen (FPS is always higher and lags are smaller in Fullscreen).
  3. Everything seems to be fine with the settings. Everything is set to High. ‘Light shadows’ are disabled (they give more load). You can try it in 2K.
  4. Numerous light sources also give a strong drop in FPS, for example

lower the texture pool size a bit. 9000 is a bit high on a 12gb gpu. 8000 will probably run smoother. I don't know if this will make a big difference but worth a try.

I think what will help more than anything is enabling DLSS super resolution. even a 4090 struggles to run 4k smoothly with no DLSS. Will need to change shadows to PCSS when enabling DLSS to avoid bad looking shadows

#

also try disabling vsync

enabling contact shadows should also help performance

i have a 2080 ti which is similar performance and vram capacity as your 3080 (2080 ti is slightly worse). i also have a much older CPU. i run 80-90 fps at 4k until i have a base built up which lowers me to 50-60 fps on average. My cpu is my primary limiting factor with a base built (gpu does not run at or near 100%). these are the settings i use.

I am currently running on direct 12, the game runs smoothly in the open world when im away from base solid 60 FPS, but when im at base i get spike from 30-40 fps drop with stutters, maybe some of the craftables are poorly optimized? not sure but i only have base FPS (30-40) when im around base, running around the world is fine

How does dx 11 compare? It tends to perform better for most people

#

But without DLSS, 30-40 fps sounds pretty decent. i wouldnt really expect much better without enabling DLSS
