    I also can't run over 60 fps on a 3080, regardless of settings. Ultra, low, rtx on or off, dlss on or off, I'm always around 50 to 55. This is totally unacceptable, and I don't see it changing, they were never bothered to fix odyssey either. So lazy, I will never give ubisoft another cent.

    Can confirm same bad performance

    Specs:
    i5 8600k @5GHz
    RTX 3080 (MSI Gaming X Trio)
    16GB 3200MHz RAM
    SSD

    I hover between 40-70 FPS in game NO MATTER WHAT SETTINGS.

    I can put it at 1080p everything on low or 4K everything on max and I still get similar results.
    DLSS doesn't do anything either. On or off I get the exact same FPS.

    My CPU and GPU usage are always around 60%

    Hey guys, could I ask if you have both Windows update installed, as well as the newest GPU drivers?
    Did a fresh Windows install when I received my 3080 a few days ago. Windows and Drivers both up to date with latest version. Barely anything else installed on the system.

    I cannot believe how bad the optimization in this game is. I would say it's possible the worst game ever owned.
    I have all the latest drivers, Windows updates, game update and a brand new HP Omen 17 laptop with a i9-91885H CPU, 32gig ram, 1TB NVME, and a RTX2080Super.
    Running on a 144hz G-Sync 2560x1440 monitor and mainly High to Very High after the spiderbot mission and your actually in London City I gret really bad framerates (sub 50and stuttering when driving in vehicles and loading new sections in. Terrible, terrible optimization

    The game clearly suffers from underutilization.

    Specs:
    Ryzen 3600@4.1Ghz
    RTX 2070 Super
    16GB DualChannel RAM 3200Mhz@CL14
    on the forum there are hundreds of complaints that people are not getting proper performance from their high end graphicscards and this guy asking whether they are using the latest drivers or not.. what a stupidity....

    This gal needs to ask, as to exclude the possibility of lack of updates causing the issue

    Thank you very much for providing your specs, I passed them on for investigation!

    I'm sorry for your experience, though, I hope we will be able to address those quickly!

    Thanks. Hoping for a quick patch since it's quite unplayable now and the game seems to be very interesting.

    Game has just hard freeze and crashed to desktop, giving up playing this and hope future patch will sort this mess out

    Here is the same situation, no matter the resolution, setting, low, ultra, RT active or not. The CPU and GPU usage does not exceed 60%, it is always below 50FPS, I play in Ultrawide. And I've seen people with GTX 1660 running at 70fps in fullhd at Very High, it doesn't make sense.
    My GPU is RTX2060Super, Ryzen 3600, 16gb, last version with Windows 10 and last driver Nvidia....

    The game uses RTX as marketing, but soon RTX is performing horribly, and it looks like it will take time to get an update to the problem.
    What strikes me is that indies studios are more committed to trying to fix their games than a giant with thousands of engineers, it was to have a patch today fixing this problem with RTX.
