I made it to the second hub village area in the next zone, it's even worse lol. Thankfully out in the wild its not so bad.

@@TerraWare Damn that's not something I wanted to hear, I've been setting FPS caps to minimise the delta. Cheers for the knowledge.

@@SKHYJINX I'm working on a video examining the recent growing trend of CPU heavy games. You should see this area on a Ryzen 3700X lol

[@SKHYJINX]

@@TerraWare Sweet I'll watch that video.
I just tried NV-FGen, 4K DLSS-B FG + Reflex, its between 80-115FPS lows to good... I set a 100FPS Cap and its pretty sweet, FG hides a lot of stuttering, and I used the mouse smoothing and acceleration disable configs as that helps a lot with FG. Might be the way I'll continue to play it.

@@SKHYJINX @Terraware have you maybe tested it on an Intel CPU as well? My 7800X3D should arrive today hopefully, then I'll do some comparisons, but my suspicion is that Intel runs better in the hub areas. Will do a test with the 14700K vs 7800X3D, just need to get to the 2nd hub area.

@@SKHYJINX The mouse smoothing tweaks are definitely a must, especially with FG. Thanks for sharing them!
