Guys, I had a lot of lag and I tried everything but nothing was working. FINALLY I found the problem : the Larian launcher. When I start the game from steam, it will open the Larian launcher right ? And from that launcher you press play and the game starts. Well, don't know for others but this Larian launcher for me is laggy. And when I entered the game, I went back to the desktop and closed this Larian launcher. And THE GAME FINALLY WORKED PERFECTLY. hope it can help someone, I'm gonna inform the people with my experience.
If you are getting stuttering in Baldur's Gate itself, try enabling Vsync Triplebuffering, even WITH G-Sync. Yes it sounds counter intuitive, but it actually doesn't add input lag in this title and it seems to smooth out hitches and frame drops. It won't give you more frames, but for me at least it stopped the drops and stutters.
It adds as much input lag in this game as it does any other. It's just that you don't mind the input lag in the game as none of the inputs are latency sensitive. All combat being turn based or non time sensitive in addition to all navigation. I find it preferable to just run an fps cap.
Actually you should be using Gsync and Vsync on in the Nvidia control panel, Vsync off in game, and low latency mode on ultra (if the game has reflex you can still keep it on and reflex will just override it since it is superior to LLM). Also apply a frame rate cap at least 3 below refresh rate for the lowest latency possible. It's changed now and this is the most updated method for the lowest latency :).
@@Jake-0011 what is the point if you have a g-sync monitor? G-sync, is the same as v-sync, it just syncs to the monitor refresh rate to the fps instead of syncing the fps to the fixed monitor refresh
@Snicker433 it won't let me send the link so type "blurbusters 101 gsync input lag test control panel" into Google and it should be the second result. Explains it better than I ever could
@@Snicker433 vsync in the control panel will already queue frames more evenly even below the max fps where vsync fully kicks in. The way this comment describes you get the even queue but not the vsync delay as you're still capped below the threshold. Its the best setup for smoothness. so vsync evens your frames out and gsync syncs them to the monitor refresh rate.
Tbh the only time bad performance started to annoy me was in Act 2 when I’m in Last Light Inn and Moonrise Towers area, but most of Act 3 runs terribly, the city area is very demanding.
Even eith a 4070 and i9 it'll stutter apparently its a know issue that they're trying to fix this upcoming patch. Said so in a ticket that was submitted
Just some quick notes from playing with the DLSS/DLAA settings. My GPU is a 3080 TI and my monitor is 3840x1600. AMD 5950X in a Windows 10 Virtual Machine on Proxmox. HAGS and game mode are enabled. 1. Enabling DLAA toggles DLSS off. This makes sense once you know what each is doing, but wasn't completely obvious to me. The hairs draped around my keyboard were pulled out trying to figure out why DLSS kept being turned off before watching the video here. 2. With performance settings matching the higher preset in this video, and no DLSS or DLAA, I get around 80-85% GPU utilization at the entrance to the Goblin priestess' temple. Frame rate is capped to 120hz/fps since that's my monitor's max and something outside of the game is enforcing that (which is fine for me). 3. Turning DLSS to Quality my GPU utilization goes to 65% ... DLSS Balanced is around 60% ... DLSS Performance around 55%. All look worse but Quality is SO close to native that I can accept the difference. 4. Switching to DLAA my GPU utilization goes from 95-99% In all cases I'm still getting 120fps prior to capping frame rate. So it gives me some choices on lowering my GPU usage. Since it's summer ... yeah ... I'm going for DLSS Quality. Keeps my room cooler and minimizes my fan noise (bugs the crap out of me ... the Nvidia RTX 3080 TI Founder's cooler works well, looks good, but gets almost as noisy as a blower at 90% or more utilization even with an undervolt). Once I picked DLSS Quality and capped FPS to 60, I'm seeing around 35% GPU utilization and my fans stay nice and quiet while the game looks very good. This winter I'll switch to DLAA :)
@@fikrifachrurozi2497 yes, Its installed on an M.2 SSD. I think the problem is my CPU its too weak. I have a Pentium Gold G6400. I didn't expect this game to be CPU intensive.
In act 3 my game dropped to like 20 fps at times even when I could run the other acts on ultra completely smooth. This helped a lot, went from near unplayable to smooth! Thank you so much!!
Please do a part 2 of this but in act 3 as this is where most people probably start looking for performance guides. Also show the closing launcher thing.. Ok my take on how to get steady fps in act 3.. 5 steps. 1) turn off gsync in nvidia control panel if enabled. 2) set four framerate to 60 fps (tho less is fine if gpu still struggles) 3) enable full screen mode. 4) kill the launcher (alt tab out of game) 5) tweak stuff in this vid.
Hands down the best guide for FPS in BG3. This helped me boost to 120FPS steady. I was somehow dipping down to 20-30FPS somehow and just couldn't figure out what was going on. Did this whole thing and SOMETHING I did fixed it lol.
FSR 1.0 looks horrible, it's even worse than lowering the game resolution (and you can use the sharpen filter). FSR + TAA is so blurry that you can't see anything
Ran into some issues, like not playing the game until a new PC issues, but this helped smooth everything over AND the game still looks amazing. Big props. This is a legit 100% stellar video.
Latest update improves performance, but has a chance of killing any GPU that isn’t top of the line. Be mindful of your GPU’s performance and adjust graphics quality accordingly. There are a number of Reddit and Steam threads on the subject.
TYSVM for making a hand holding tutorial that literally shows & explains the steps. It makes a huge difference and helps me understand better. Thank you so much for making this. I just started this game, and I'm absolutely in live with it, but my computer is almost as old as me (not rly, I'm ancient lol) ty! 💜
But these "optimized" settings are the most recommended ones, he explained all of them in every video, now he thinks there's no need for that, because everybody knows what each setting does...
This the most basic "optimized" set up in the history of the world. No explanation needed. Just follow the instructions. This guy got 100s of videos with way more advanced and in depth guides. If you're an enthusiast you'll gladly look them up. If you're a normie stick to the basics.
Yes, I feel we are like the dragon chasing its tail! BG3 isn't even a twitch reaction game, its turned based, 30 fps is fine... although I admit I like watch this video to see how high my 1650 can go😀
Thank you! Played throught the first two acts no problem, reached act 3 and the game became basically unplayble. After following this video it's back to looking and running great!
I'm not a computer whizz. But I've heard that the game has problems with memory leaks, and it sure feels that way. This means that the longer you play the choppier it will get. If you've played for a very long time and explored a bunch; you should probably save, exit the game, and reopen it. Happy adventuring! 🧙♂
I have a hp laptop which is kind of old but well within the requirements for the game yet I get super low fps (3-5) and insane lag, any ideas of how to deal with that ?
I'm playing on a system that is lower than the minimum requirements Steam recommends, I've got to the end of Act 2 and the FPS is plummeting. I had a comfy 30 FPS in Act1, but now it's at less than 10. Hoping some of these optimisations will let me get to the end of the game.

Thanks for this video! One thing I noticed is my GPU temperature rises much higher in this game than other games I play. Based on Reddit comments many other gamers have same issue. Any comments or suggestions on GPU temperature tips would be appreciated.
Thanks for the vid. Not sure if it would help everyone, but what helped me was downgrading to an Nvidia driver under version 531. Before that I was having some extreme stuttering even on a 4090
Thought this might be useful for me, but it's pretty much just graphics settings for dummy's. If you understand most graphical settings and what they do, this video won't help you with any further knowledge than you already have.
Thanks for the guide. For me didn't work as I expected, I guess it's because of my CPU. But a tip that worked for me is to play the game with directx 11 and DLSS on quality. I'm getting a little more fps on this way and the game is more stable
I'm playing on an i5 4690, gtx 970, no ssd, and on medium/high settings it's quite stable at 60 fps with some drops to around 40, but in this type of game it's barely noticeable.
you got a 4690, with no ssd on medium/high and getting 60 fps most of the time, that just might mean that i can achive the same with my i7 4790s and ssd
@@MM22658 i think you'll be ok if you fiddle around with the graphics settings. To be honest, the game looks decent even on low/med. I keep hearing that the fps drops are worse in the later acts, so we'll see if it's still playable when I get there. Or maybe they'll patch the performance issues with an update soon.
i dont believe it, have you reached heavy/demanding locations like the goblin encampment? a loooot of stutters for me there (i3 10100f, 1660 super), baldurs gate itself probably gonna be unplayable
With my low end I feared I couldnt play when a friend gifted me this game. I wa sso damn happy but the temps and overall performance wasnt rly that stable. Now it quite literally increased by a full on 80%, damn.
the only thing that saves us from stuttering is leaving the vsync triple buff and limit your framerates at 50 fps, don't waste your time on other settings
Another way to achieve better visuals with better than TAA and DLSS antialiasing is by playing in 4K with Dynamic Super Resolution (can be activated in Nvidia drivers settings), and with DLSS enabled. Additionally some of you may want to try switch DLSS 2 dll to DLSS 3, but I didn't done any testing, so I dunno if this will have an impact on a frame rate
Hey! I just want to say thabks so much! I did everything in your video and all the lag went away! It was driving me crazy, so Im happy to play in peace.
It definitely looks smoother (though admittedly it’s a small difference) but you’re right, this type of game doesn’t need as high fps as say an action game, so you can get away with a better looking game!
I'm getting less than 20 FPS with drops down to 7fps with an RTX 3070, intel 10700k, 16gb ram. I've tried all in game settings and changing from ultra to low doesn't seem to change much. Please help 😢
my game was running SO damn bad before follwing this video lol everything was good unitl i reached the emrald grove, under 30 fps!. and im using a 2080ti i9 9900k 128gb ddr4 AND installed on a ssd smh. not the newst system sure but 30-40fps with stutters is just disrespectful 💀💀
Bottleneck between my CPU and GPU is probably a fair share of the issue, but I got a i7 8700 and a 4070, everything on low settings but somehow it is still choppy when rendering in as I am tilting the camera close to the character, cutscenes are low resolution for 5-10 sec, and I get some subtle stutters randomly. I will try these fixes and hope it does something, it's not gamebreaking for me at all but I would love to play this great title as smoothly as possible (excluding my terrible rolls in-game of course, they will always stay)
If a game needs optimization when using a 4090 then there is something certainly wrong with its engine. Having said that BG3 has superb optimizaton for even low end system.
I also felt a huge difference going into Act 2. I'm running a 6800XT and my avarage FPS on ultra 1440p going into Act 2 is like 84 fps after a game session tracked by AMD's software. I also feel that moving my camera around in different perspectives drops my FPS randomly and utilizing more on my GPU randomly. Sometimes bringing me as low as 50-60 FPS. It's not really an issue but I see that most people with my card is well over a 100 with same settings. I feel like I should be getting a much more stable FPS and even the tracker says It's not optimal. Decreasing the settings to low or downgrading resolution has zero impact. People say It's even worse in the city of Baldurs gate and Act 3, not looking forward to that.
Great video. Following your instructions step by step i went from 41fps to 71fps playing in 4k! Maintaining great visuals. I have a 4k samsumg CU8000 TV and my pc specs are as follows: MOBO asrock a320m-HD, 16gb ram 2666hz, ryzen5 2600, rtx 3060ti. i was a huge leamp in performance and now i don't miss my 1080p monitor anymore, tysm.
Used all of these to increase from 5fps all the way to 10fps... gpu is at 100% and RAM is 95%. Yea... not a good laptop to play on. Had to move the game from my laptop to external hard drive because I had 6GB of space left and it was having a hard time even quicksaving. Sigh*
I have been facing serious problems with FPS in Baldurs gate 3. The game runs at very low frames and even though I change the graphics settings, changing it to a lower resolution and updating video drivers and everything else, the game remains below 50 frames. I also noticed that while I play the game is not pulling more than 50% of the CPU and GPU, I don't know what to do to fix this problem. I use an RTX 4070 and an I5 10400F, if anyone can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
Also you can you go to the game launcher, go to the bottom left of it, and select the settings. Then go check the first box off. That help boost it like crazy lol
Now with the recent update opening up BG3 for Mac, any tips on getting a Mac with 16gb ram and a M1 chip to look as clean and run as smooth as possible?
For real guys? I am asking this because I have played Divinity 2 Original Sin before on the said PC, and now I have a feeling to play BD3 because of the hype (and I am a fan of RPG games).
@@michaelscooking3071 Yes, you can always refund if you can't run it, but you will easily be able to get 60 fps minimum on low-mid settings im pretty sure.
I'm playing this on a RTX Quadro 4000 card. And while it suggest me playing at Ultra, BG3 even on low settings really does not enjoy running on MY 3D-CAD rig. LOL! Haven't had issues with a game since 343i ported Reach on Steam for the first time, but even that hot resolved after an update shortly after. So I can't complain, got lucky enough till now. EDIT - Update: The latest patch with the newest drivers solved the the issue. I can play on ultra fullHD with fairly stable 60 fps. Thanks Larian, you're wizards! 😎
Guys he is testing the starting zone, no real benchmark. He should go to a city and test it.. You become insanely cpu bound that there are 0 fps differences if you play on ultra or low, unless you have something like a 13900k. I have an i5 12400(much more than recommended) and i get down to 60 70fps in high crowd density areas on Vulkan, and i normally average around 100fps(up to 129 actually)
Guys, I had a lot of lag and I tried everything but nothing was working. FINALLY I found the problem : the Larian launcher. When I start the game from steam, it will open the Larian launcher right ?

this worked for me, thank you. i also turned off g-sync for my monitors which boosted my FPS as well!
You can also go into your BG3 folder/bin and create a shortcut of the vulkan or dx11 .exe to your desktop. This bypasses the Larian launcher. Cheers!
This worked for me also
Lol what. That breaks it for me. Laggy and screen tearing if i close it

@@MM22658 i think you'll be ok if you fiddle around with the graphics settings. To be honest, the game looks decent even on low/med. I keep hearing that the fps drops are worse in the later acts, so we'll see if it's still playable when I get there. Or maybe they'll patch the performance issues with an update soon.
i dont believe it, have you reached heavy/demanding locations like the goblin encampment? a loooot of stutters for me there (i3 10100f, 1660 super), baldurs gate itself probably gonna be unplayable
@@liquidmodernitytasteslikeu2855 i only played a couple of hours, so i'm in the Druid's Grove
I can't believe you're not using an SSD! What is this, 2004??
With my low end I feared I couldnt play when a friend gifted me this game. I wa sso damn happy but the temps and overall performance wasnt rly that stable. Now it quite literally increased by a full on 80%, damn.
Perfect guide mate, thank you for the assistance!
the only thing that saves us from stuttering is leaving the vsync triple buff and limit your framerates at 50 fps, don't waste your time on other settings
Thank you!!
I love how all these videos have top of the line hardware where there are no bottlenecks
Another way to achieve better visuals with better than TAA and DLSS antialiasing is by playing in 4K with Dynamic Super Resolution (can be activated in Nvidia drivers settings), and with DLSS enabled. Additionally some of you may want to try switch DLSS 2 dll to DLSS 3, but I didn't done any testing, so I dunno if this will have an impact on a frame rate
I'd refrain from DSR, performance hit not worth it. NIS better option. But I guess it just comes down to your setup.
do not switch from DLSS2 to 3 bec BG3 is not a DLSS3 game.
depends on gpu. worth it on a 4070ti@@Sleepless4Life
@@Jakiyyyyy
How's come?
Also, BG3 isn't an "online" game.
Hey! I just want to say thabks so much! I did everything in your video and all the lag went away! It was driving me crazy, so Im happy to play in peace.
Nice guide ..BUT...who needs very high fps in a crpg i wonder...makes no difference if you play it in 60fps or 240fps ...greetings from Germany !
It definitely looks smoother (though admittedly it’s a small difference) but you’re right, this type of game doesn’t need as high fps as say an action game, so you can get away with a better looking game!
They are releasing an optimization update September 6th
ho thanks god for this news where did you saw that? because even with a computer more powerful than the recommend settings it's laggy
My settings look completely diffferent. I'm running a GTX 1650, my GPU is running at 100% ... :s
I'm getting less than 20 FPS with drops down to 7fps with an RTX 3070, intel 10700k, 16gb ram.
I've tried all in game settings and changing from ultra to low doesn't seem to change much.
Please help 😢
maybe you playing on intel graphics
Look at your resolution
get a better pc chud
@@Godstowhoyeah definitely something wrong there lol
I'm having the same problem! Did you figure anything out?
Can you do remnant 2 as well! You are amazing!
Remnant 2 is the most unoptimized mess rn. DLSS is shit
They fucked up the pc port, you have to actually be a black wizard if you want to optimize it
Thanks! This really helped my game play and FPS!
thank you!
my game was running SO damn bad before follwing this video lol everything was good unitl i reached the emrald grove, under 30 fps!. and im using a 2080ti i9 9900k 128gb ddr4 AND installed on a ssd smh. not the newst system sure but 30-40fps with stutters is just disrespectful 💀💀
How is your system being old disrespectful? What resolution are you on that decides performance
@@samgoff5289 that system is fairly recent wtf are u blabbering on about
@@SuperBeasto303Haha yeah sounds like he is talking about ancients specs 😂
Bottleneck between my CPU and GPU is probably a fair share of the issue, but I got a i7 8700 and a 4070, everything on low settings but somehow it is still choppy when rendering in as I am tilting the camera close to the character, cutscenes are low resolution for 5-10 sec, and I get some subtle stutters randomly.
I will try these fixes and hope it does something, it's not gamebreaking for me at all but I would love to play this great title as smoothly as possible (excluding my terrible rolls in-game of course, they will always stay)
Update when you do it if you can! I have a 12700k and a 3070ti and having some issues in 1440p but I can't test this until I get home.
@@DjBrandenburg216 It seems to have increased performance by around 10% or so. I am playing on 1440p as well
Can you do this for Act III please and thank you because I had no problems with FPS during the first two Acts
This helped me so much. FPS dropped in a major way in Act 3. Thanks!!
i never leave comments on youtube videos but this one helped SO MUCH!! thank you!
Thanks Mate, Can't wait to try it out!
id definitely recommend limiting fps for gpu health
If a game needs optimization when using a 4090 then there is something certainly wrong with its engine. Having said that BG3 has superb optimizaton for even low end system.
theres a memory leak in the game, the more acts a player enter the worst it is and act 3 are the heaviest leaks
Game runs fantastic in act 1.
Sudden huge performance drop into act 2, even if you leave act 2 area.
Act 3 just takes a huge dump on your PC.
I also felt a huge difference going into Act 2. I'm running a 6800XT and my avarage FPS on ultra 1440p going into Act 2 is like 84 fps after a game session tracked by AMD's software.
I also feel that moving my camera around in different perspectives drops my FPS randomly and utilizing more on my GPU randomly. Sometimes bringing me as low as 50-60 FPS. It's not really an issue but I see that most people with my card is well over a 100 with same settings.
I feel like I should be getting a much more stable FPS and even the tracker says It's not optimal. Decreasing the settings to low or downgrading resolution has zero impact.
People say It's even worse in the city of Baldurs gate and Act 3, not looking forward to that.
Let's see if you say the same thing in Act 3 lmao. It's unoptimized as fuck.
@@nikelas6 I stopped palying during act 2. As much i want to like the game, its just not for me. guess i will never find out :)
This helped my Act 3 experience SO MUCH. Thank you!
Great video.
Following your instructions step by step i went from 41fps to 71fps playing in 4k! Maintaining great visuals.
I have a 4k samsumg CU8000 TV and my pc specs are as follows: MOBO asrock a320m-HD, 16gb ram 2666hz, ryzen5 2600, rtx 3060ti.
i was a huge leamp in performance and now i don't miss my 1080p monitor anymore, tysm.
Used all of these to increase from 5fps all the way to 10fps... gpu is at 100% and RAM is 95%. Yea... not a good laptop to play on. Had to move the game from my laptop to external hard drive because I had 6GB of space left and it was having a hard time even quicksaving. Sigh*
Thank you, Good Sir! Subscribed!
Stop reconmmand to turn of vsync every ever ffs
I have been facing serious problems with FPS in Baldurs gate 3. The game runs at very low frames and even though I change the graphics settings, changing it to a lower resolution and updating video drivers and everything else, the game remains below 50 frames. I also noticed that while I play the game is not pulling more than 50% of the CPU and GPU, I don't know what to do to fix this problem. I use an RTX 4070 and an I5 10400F, if anyone can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
Amazing tempo, no time wasted, great information
Is there a reason why you would do high performance power plan instead of ultimate performance?
Thank you soooo much.
I went from 43-60ish - to 168 FPS!
You are Aces in my Book!
ryzen 5 5600 / RX 6600 and 3200 mhz 16GB ram and im having stable 60fps on ultra/1080p without FRS.. damn this game is well optimized
Ita worst optimized. Im running in 32rm 3200 ryzen 5 5600x rtx 4060ti and its stuttering a Lot. Dont know why
@ktenko3966 running a GTX 1070 and it runs for me might want to tweak settings or on DirectX (DLSS might not be on).
@@dobrybyeutra same for me, did you find any solution?
@@dobrybyeutra4060 ti u pay a scam lmao
Great video mate, cheers
3 act my pc just wasnt taking anymore, this video saved it
You said you're using DLSS on quality at 4K native right, isn't it the same as playing at native 1080p w/o dlss ?
lol i set the frame rate to 60, when in reality all my issues were gone the moment i unlocked the frame rate cap. Thank you for this guide!
4090 and act 3 at 4k gives me around 50fps and 60fps with dlss. 120hz screen.
Great video!
Helps a lot,thanks man
Also you can you go to the game launcher, go to the bottom left of it, and select the settings. Then go check the first box off. That help boost it like crazy lol
Thank you. Thanks to you i can go to act 3 without problems. Thanks
You made my game look great thanks!!!!
Thanks for the vid!
Thank you so much! My game is looking a good!
Huge huge improvement 🎉❤
will definitely save this incase my gameplay drops in later areas. good advice
I'm impressed! Couldnt get past 30fps in my 2017 rig and now im going at 60~80fps in act 3 city. nice
Now with the recent update opening up BG3 for Mac, any tips on getting a Mac with 16gb ram and a M1 chip to look as clean and run as smooth as possible?
As much as i like this game... they really did a shortcut on optimization.
I am currently running a Ryzen 3 1600 with GTX 1060 3b and 16gb RAM (it's a 2017 build). Can I run this game?
Yes
Easily
On low quality
For real guys? I am asking this because I have played Divinity 2 Original Sin before on the said PC, and now I have a feeling to play BD3 because of the hype (and I am a fan of RPG games).
@@michaelscooking3071 Yes, you can always refund if you can't run it, but you will easily be able to get 60 fps minimum on low-mid settings im pretty sure.
WTF 3070 low 1440h have 40fps average ((
Modern game optimization for you.
8GB VRAM isn't enough

Set it to fullscreen, might massively help
Definitely should've done this test at the more laggier parts of the world like the inn or at the city.
Can you do a geforce now optimisation please, love your vids
everything max, 4k. Your using a high end gaming rig with GNOW.
I'm playing this on a RTX Quadro 4000 card. And while it suggest me playing at Ultra, BG3 even on low settings really does not enjoy running on MY 3D-CAD rig. LOL!
Haven't had issues with a game since 343i ported Reach on Steam for the first time, but even that hot resolved after an update shortly after. So I can't complain, got lucky enough till now.
EDIT - Update: The latest patch with the newest drivers solved the the issue. I can play on ultra fullHD with fairly stable 60 fps. Thanks Larian, you're wizards! 😎
Legend panjno
With everything here I can't get it higher than 8FPS 😅
I think I need to accept that I need better hardware to play this game
@panjno Love these helpful guides! Would you please make one for Armored Core 6 please? Thanks a ton!
does this use less cpu?
just subscribed good content would you do a optimisation video for a lg oled 55 inch tv with a high end pc like i913900k and nvidia 4090
Perfect guide, who so many dislikes it works like charm.
SO why are low recommended settings actually higher than optimazed?
Guys he is testing the starting zone, no real benchmark. He should go to a city and test it.. You become insanely cpu bound that there are 0 fps differences if you play on ultra or low, unless you have something like a 13900k. I have an i5 12400(much more than recommended) and i get down to 60 70fps in high crowd density areas on Vulkan, and i normally average around 100fps(up to 129 actually)
