DLSS and Graphical settings.

I'm getting around 80+fps in the new city right now on Maximum settings.
Late night so not as many people around so might tank a little more if there are.

GeForce 3070
i7-10700K

It does NOT multi thread well. When one is CPU bound as you are no reduction in graphical settings will make any difference in performance whatsoever.

Yes, thank you, I know that.

He clearly doesn't understand this. No amount of talking sense to him will reason him out of the position that he didn't reason himself into.

When you look at the imbalance of the hardware, one has to think that the gpu and ram were just slapped in there (huge waste of money too as the ram and gpu are completely wasted ) recently without regard as to the rest of the system. You don’t turn a Corolla into Ferrari by putting a Ferrari engine in it. There’s probably a bunch of outdated things in there too + bloat. Power supply could be an issue too powering that. OP should post a dxdiag as just the very basic hardware is insufficient.

No, that not the case. I know what I put on my PC. The only not that fast thing except CPU is RAM, its 2.66 overclocked to 3200, but it could not affect so much.
Power Supply is new: MSI - MEG Ai1300P
Motherboard: Asus ROG Zenith II Extreme
SSD Samsung: SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB

Thanks for advice.

it’s one of the most imbalanced systems for someone who knows what they put in their pc. The ultra expensive (and now old) mobo doesn’t make sense either. Why don’t you post the diagnostic as required? Just the name of the hardware parts is insufficient. Make sure drivers and bios are up to date.

Could be a pcie bus problem too with that Mobo. As for hardware, whoever advised you, had no clue what they were doing and made you waste money for absolutely nothing. Could have gotten something much more balanced and better for a lot less.

Workstation PC or not, the game should be performing a lot better on that setup. To be honest, it feels like the game runs pretty poorly for the visual upgrade we did get.

Their DLSS implementation is 100% busted (anyone who argues against this is wrong -- people are getting better FPS on FSR which is just silly). It's been a problem since the benchmark and was never addressed.

The best approach I've found is to use some of the DLSS tools available and force the quality preset settings across all presets since they don't give you control over which one is running. You'll actually get some benefits if you do that and should get a better frame rate.

I noticed it degraded my benchmark score by around 1K, so I leave it set to FSR (AMD GPU is disabled) I''m running at 1920 x 1299 native, so no need for scaling anyway.

New City. 30+- fps.

DLSS of FSR do not do ANYTNYNG, not even +1 fps.

I tried all settings, its absurd.

My system:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 24-Core Processor 4.10 GHz
4090
128 RAM

PS: Yes I know it`s not a gaming CPU, but all other modern game on max is no problem for it, DLSS just do not work for me somehow.

If your system is CPU limited then DLSS will not improve the performance. DLSS helps the GPU. But since you have a RTX 4090, it very unlikely, that your GPU is the bottleneck.
