Re: RTX 2060 and low FPS

It's gotta be CPU related, 100%

I have an r5 3600 paired with a 2070 super and get 40-60fps all low 1440p/1080p (both resolutions have same performance)

I can't answer anyone else's numbers but personally I noted CPU usage is around 100% while GPU hovers around 30-60%

OP what really  helped  me was the following :

1. Creating a  user.cfg in the game directory with  the following  lines (note the first two depend on  your specific  cpu, mine has 6 cores and 12 threads. the first is the core count and the second is mostly hit/miss depending on how many threads you have. I found from a reddit post from someone with the same cpu that 7 worked better for this value and it works well for  me)

Thread.ProcessorCount 6
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 7
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0

2. Turning GstRender.Dx12Enabled to 1 and setting GstRender.ShadowQuality to 0 in PROFSAVE_profile. this is in the 2042 folder where your documents folder islocated

3. DLSS  enabled, i like balanced but performance is a trade off between quality and slightly higher fps

I found these three things make 2042 more playable, in my case it nearly doubled fps (20-40 fps to 40-60)

    Boosted me up to around 70-80 after this and making some of the settings to low. Thank you!
