Major Lag & Stuttering throughout game (Especially bad in Arlanthan)

I have a PC more than capable of handling Dragon Age the Veilguard but the lag on this game is exceptionally bad and I don't know why. I have tried trouble shotting multiple ways but this continues to be an on going issue.

Here are my specs.

Is anyone else having this issue?

  • I replaced my GPU & power supply from RTX GeForce 3070 to GeForce 4080 (8GB to 16GB). I now play on the highest settings possible and am experiencing no stuttering. I think that to run on the ultra or above settings like I did, you must have more than an 8GB GPU.

  • The only thing that worked for me (saw the suggestion in a Steam forum) after tinkering for 3 days was to undervolt and underclock the CPU in the BIOS. Of course it has to be done carefully, you need to write down the original values and just go down one step (in my case the original voltage was 1.200V and the BIOS let me change it to 1.195V as the next suggested step down, the Clock multiplier was set to 36 and the BIOS let me go down to 35 as the next suggested step down). I intend for this to be temporary as I hope EA releases a patch soon! Or work with Nvidia to release a driver update.

    I'm having similar problems, formerly everywhere, but troubleshooting has so far fixed it except for in Arlathan and most of Treviso.  Though I haven't been to many other places, so it's possible that the lag has remained more widespread than that.

    this is what i have, maybe trying to play veilguard was just wishful thinking
