The game's framerates are all over the place for me.

i9-9900k @ 51.Ghz all core
32GB RAM
970 Evo Plus NVMe
EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra

While the framerate averages 60fps at 4k vsync, both the in-game performance panel and the NVidia panel show that the frame times are near 50ms and the average .1% fps is rather low. The graph itself looks like a mess and it gets worse while in combat or moving into a new area and the audio skips. Compared to something like Horizon: Zero Dawn which runs much better now, this game is a choppy mess.

@thekosarev you have to keep the scaling at 1.0 or it's not an even comparison.

And here is how it performed on my HTPC.

@jc-shao are you using a gamepad or mouse/kb?

I had horrible stutter and audio problems when using an XB1 controller on two separate systems. Figured it was just the game and then came across a post in Reddit relating the issues to controllers using bluetooth. Once I switched to a kb/mouse, it completely went away.

@ubi-smash according to the Nvidia performance panel it is between 40 and 70 but jumps around a lot in most scenarios. Next to the water is worse of course and then in intense battles.

I have played Watchdogs 3, Fenyx and Valhalla all at 4k/ultra with a 3090 on a 3900X, 9900k and 3970X. Out of all the games, this one has a render latency as recorded in the Nvidia performance panel and MSI Afterburner approaching 50ms. The framerate is close to 60fps, but jumps around a lot. Why would this single game have such a high render latency? Makes everything feel unresponsive when the game lags that far behind.

@longjohn119 I didn't plan to play with that low of a framerate. Just more of a comparison between my two systems at the same settings.

Here is how it performs on my setup. Looks like the CPU is taking a pretty big hit.
