I have 7900xt, 5900x, 32gb 3200 ram and 1440p 165hz monitor.
If i use max or low settings i have same problem,
My GPU usage is never 100%, and i have insane stutter moments. My fps dips from almost max refresh rate to low 20s.
I have tried messing with settings, clean install of drivers but nothing worked.
I have noticed that performance is way better at offline and also %1 lows are Way higher.
Very top end PC and Laptop in my house, both run game on 150+ FPS.
Very low or high settings have the same outcome dropping down to 20 FPS in all areas of the game, whether its empty or high mob density.
Even if Im in the shop window selling items … GPU maxes out at 100% even with frame rate limiter on,
There is clearly a huge memory leak or unoptimized usage of GPA resources from patch 1.0 for people.
My rigs have no issues with any other game, never had a performance issue or maxed GPU in a single game Ive played this year on Ultra.
I would recommend not burning your GPU and sitting this one out until the Devs actually fucking respond. There are 1000s of people with the same issue atm.
