Community ManagerCheck if a clean install (via advanced install options) of the following Studio Driver set help at all, thanks.

Well i found out the culprit, it wasn't the drivers. The culprit was that the "optimized" settings that i turned on from Geforce experience turned on DirectX 12 and that caused the ridiculous 20 fps on ultra. DirectX12 is smooth on low settings though. Anyhow now i'm getting stable fps with DX11.
I had this exact same issue with my 3080 FE. In DX12 mode the game was essentially UNPLAYABLE (20ish FPS, around 8 FPS in campaign) unless it was all in low. Once DX12 was disabled everything ran great at 60 FPS
This was also running with an AMD 5950X, did you happen to be running on an Intel or AMD CPU?
The weird part is the game ran great with DX12 enabled 1080TI and Intel i7 4770K, so it's weird the 3080 would struggle.
There is a problem with DX 12 in this game, and from what I'm reading around here in the threads, that this is a recent issue that happened within some of the last few updates.
Please send this information through the channels available to you to the dev team or whatever higher ups you're able to please and ask them to take a closer look at their DX 12 APIs in for this game.
