Is this still a thing or have drivers improved?
Is this still a thing or have drivers improved?
have 4070rtx and have large fps drops in cities when congested. But this is most probably since I am using too many antialiasing settings + lightning which create a massive lag. Plus I am playing in windowed mode which also reduced fps by a lot. As for nvidia, stickto 581.08 driver which is the most stable currently.



The more likely reason is, the CPU is the bottleneck in high crowded areas.have 4070rtx and have large fps drops in cities when congested.

More people in an area = More CPU cycles and VRAM used.
I have a 7900 XT which is the next tier up from a 4070. 7900 XT sits between the 4070 Ti Super and 4080 in terms of performance and in large areas i sit around 70 fps at 1440p but elsewhere I'm 180 static.
My CPU is a Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
