I'm aware there are plenty of these threads, and plenty of threads explaining fixes for these issues, or explaining the lack of fixes and reasons for their absence I should say. Regardless, this game is entirely unplayable for me in it's current state, and I've no idea as to why. My specs are as follows: CPU: 3570K @ 4.2GHzGPU: GTX 680RAM: 16GBWhile idle, GPU usage is between 1-5% as expected. Now, here's the best part, and you've probably seen this one before: FPS and GPU usage are both dependent on my location. In cities, GPU usage doesn't pass 25% once. It usually idles around 20% with a whopping 14-20FPS. Unplayable. Outside of some arbitrary radius of cities, GPU usage jumps back up again - somewhat. It will hit around 40% usage, and a max of around 30FPS. Still ridiculous, as that's just barely playable. I've been monitoring CPU, GPU, and RAM usage while in game, and not a single thing is maxed at any point. CPU is around 75% usually (and no single core is working more than the others), GPU is what's described above, and RAM has plenty of room as well. What's going on here? I know people who have similar rigs who are playing with no issues, and they've not gone through the painstaking process of testing every optimization tutorial they find online. What's up with this? My drivers are updated, Nvidia control panel configured correctly, settings configured "correctly" - as determined by multiple threads/videos. This yields an FPS improvement of nada. Any explanation for this? Or, maybe even a fix? This has turned into something of a rant, but I suppose that's all I've got. Any input is greatly appreciated.
