So I've been doing a new playthrough because I had picked up phantom Liberty. I know I had posted in the computer issue problems where suddenly my games were getting lagged out, or before things like cyberpunk and starfield had no issues running on what I at least deemed to be acceptable settings.

I did a rolling back the drivers and doing the clean install with somebody's advice which was extremely helpful, but it just seems that the expansion is still making it difficult to get it tuned in. When I played it through the first time when it had released I may be played on medium with a few things at the High, running an RTX 2080, and it was a great experience.

Did the game suddenly become very CPU heavy? I've been watching a bunch of videos and trying to read a bunch of stuff to get it optimized, but still having issues with frame drop, especially if I'm traveling around the city, and even just in a building on a mission.

Only thing hardware wise I changed was upgrading to a newer Dell 32 inch widescreen. Maybe it's the graphics card not being able to push it? I really don't know.

I don't have things like Ray tracing turned on, but I guess I've turned on dlss, and running in ultra performance. Only thing that seems to make a difference is if I shift or downgrade the resolution to 1080, but it looks wonky.

Are there any mods or tweaks you can make to get the game to run smooth, because it wasn't a problem the first time I played through it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think anyone mentioned resolution. Look up the resolution of the monitor you were using the last time you played it and try choosing that resolution on your new monitor, even if it doesn't fit right. If it feels like it should, that's probably it - more pixels being pushed, more overhead... simple as that.

I'll give that a shot.

My older monitor was a 27-in, and this one's 32 or 34. I didn't necessarily think about having that much more monitor real estate giving an issue with the card. I was just starting to get a couple of dead pixels here and there that were annoying me, and caught that ultra wide on a decent sale.

I still need to break the laptop apart, but I want to be able to take it outside and blow it off and it's been raining here since all my thermal stuff came in.

The computers 5 years old though, and I'm just going to end up having to bite the bullet at some point and building a new desktop, I just look at prices of video cards now and Jesus. I've been wondering if I had to switch over to AMD just to save some money, but I don't know how Nvidia versus AMD ShakeOut against each other. Just haven't done any research in a long time. Have a gaming buddy that we always seem to be on the same cycle as far as building new PCS, I'm between the two of us we could come up with a pretty comprehensive list of all of the parts from Newegg, and I would typically wait for him to build his and see if he was happy before ordering.

I have had the opposite experience coming back to the game after 3-4 years. It runs fine - better than I remember. Still on a 2080. I have since upgraded from 16 to 32gb RAM, and upgraded my CPU from a 2700x to a 5700X3D. Wouldn't think that would make a big difference but maybe? Also got an ultrawide monitor which definitely drops my fps some.

I'm averaging around 70fps on benchmarks. Running DLSS on Quality I think? With some settings turned down. This settings/optimization chart I found on reddit was really useful.

What Nvidia driver are you running? I've got a 2080, too.

most current one - 566.36. Also have switched from Geforce Experience to the new Nvidia App. And have overlay disabled. Not sure if that matters/helps.
Yeah I'm not running the current one, think I read there was a hot fix for 566.36, think it might be 566.45 now, but you got to install the new app in order to get it. I could be wrong.

Just when trying to figure out what my issues were apparently people were having problems with the newest one and that's where my issues started after updating, so I rolled back to a little bit older one using that clean install and ddu stuff.

I do see that 566.45 hotfix on the Nvidia site. I'm using the new Nvidia app and the hotfix hasn't been pushed to it. Guess bc it's a minor hotfix that only addresses Indiana Jones & some shit with Ubisoft games.
