Performance Issues / Poor Optimization

+
Built in performance metrics would be very useful. If we at least could get an in-game fps and frametime counter.

We should also be able to disable the autosaving since it causes a split second freeze. That's a disaster when driving. Until you fix the streaming system and low cpu/gpu usage at least.

You can adjust Autosave under the 'Gameplay' Tab. Gives you a Full range of Options. Never bothered to disable it yet. Still, given that Option configs are possible, it should also be possible to disable the Autosave feature via that

What? No you can't? I've been looking over all settings prior to posting and I don't have any control over the autosaving at all.

give us the complete configuration of your pc, graphic settings, resolution and refresh rate.
Although the minimum system requirements specify a processor 4 cores 4 threads, but this is in a place with a weak video card
Rtx 2060 super, 144hz but i play most of the time at 80 frames,settings: medium with dlss in auto,res: 1920x1080

but even if i limit my fps to 60 i still get fps drop even below 50 some times

Here's an update of my
GENERAL OPTIMIZATION GUIDE
  1. Install Cyberpunk 2077 on an SSD (you can find 128gb second hand for 15$)
  2. Graphic Settings DLSS:
    1. Set DLSS to OFF, Quality or Balanced. For 4K use Quality, Balanced, or Performance mode.
    2. Don't use the Ultra_Performance mode unless you're at 8K
    3. DLSS Auto mode can look blurry and distorted at 1080p or lower.
  3. Make sure Vsync is disabled in-game, and set to application controlled in your GPU control panel.
  4. Set the powerplan of your PC to High Performance
    1. Search and open Control panel
    2. Click Power options
    3. Set it to High Performance or AMD Ryzen High Performance
  5. Disable full-screen optimizations (This can lower FPS, please compare at medium settings without RayTracing)
    1. go to C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64, or
      1. Open Steam, Right-click on Cyberpunk, click Properties
      2. go to the "Local Files" tab and click browse local files
    2. right click on Cyberpunk2077.exe, click on properties and Compatibility
    3. Disable full-screen optimizations
    4. go to in-game-settings and choose full-screen-mode
  6. Disable Experimental features in the Geforce Experience app and uninstall RivaTuner Statistic Server in order to avoid issues with the GOG overlay.
  7. Use MSI Afterburner to make sure your GPU fans are spinning
    1. enable "Apply at Windows Startup"
      View attachment 11074793
    2. Force fan speed update on each period (can increase CPU-usage) if fan curve cannot be applied. Make sure to set curve for both fans, and also activate auto mode for both fans. Keeping your GPU cool is necessary to avoid crashing and throttling.

  8. optimize RAM timings
    1. Download DRAM calculator
    2. Follow Steve's guide
    3. Go to your UEFI / BIOS and set timings (like in that video, set the command rate to 1, or 1T)
  9. CPU Priority
    1. In Windows, after launching Cyberpunk, tab out and open Task Manager.
    2. Go to details tab, right click on Cyberpunk2077.exe, set priority to high
    3. It won't save this setting, you want to do this every time you start playing. (It doesn't do much tho and it can also cause crashing, but it might give you some extra performance.)
  10. CPU Bios optimization (Ryzen)
    1. Disable SMT
    2. Two ways of overclocking:
      1. manually OC your cpu by setting a multiplier and adjusting the voltage. Precision Boost overdrive needs to be turned OFF.
      2. Alternatively, enable Precision Boost overdrive and SMT without setting the multiplier. CPU will automatically overclock.
    3. Adjust CPU fan curve to keep temps below 85°C. Also check Chipset and System Fan curve.
  11. Check for driver updates:
    Chipset ; GPU ; Windows ; Monitor
  12. Enable Gsync or Freesync and optimize other gpu settings
    1. Go to your gpu control panel
    2. (NVIDIA) click Manage 3d settings and go to Program settings, select or add Cyberpunk2077.exe
      1. Monitor Technology: G-sync
      2. Preferred refresh rate: Highest available
      3. Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
      4. Low latency Mode: On (Don't set it to Ultra)
      5. Texture filtering: Quality, performance, or high performance

More stable frametimes if you're using a framerate cap:

I've found that if you cap your framerate using nvidiaProfileInspector instead of the built-in limiter or even Rivatuner's the frametimes are much more consistent. For example: If I cap the game to 30 with the games limiter or with Rivatuner the frametimes vary between 32-35ms all the time inducing stuttering, but with nvidiaProfileInspector it almost constantly stays at 33.3ms if I cap it to 30. See the setting used to cap in attached image.

So, after 48 Hours of tireless optimization Fuckery, I think I tamed this game atleast on my set up (on a CPU that's not even officially supported, no less). I've been running the game with a steady framerate averaging between 45-60 FPS depending on the area, but the majority of dips are eliminated, AND I alleviated (and perhaps eliminated) the memory leak issue for now on my system.


Steps:

Update Your Windows to the Newest Version. This can make the difference between framerate dips into 10-15FPS or having a 30+ framerate.

For AMD Users: Use the HEX Edit that was posted here. While your mileage may vary, it eleminates further stuttering even on my FX. For those that missed the Post:

Make a backup of your Cyberpunk.exe located in your bin folder.
Download HXD Editor.
Open the Cyberpunk.exe, search for : 75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08
Replace with: EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08(This one seemed to work better on my FX then the 74 one)

Now comes the Memory Leak Alleviating.(Note, Not a specialist, I've no Idea why and how this works, but I assume this way you can force the game to basically Clear up the Memory leak it's creating)

Increase your Pagefile.sys to x2 of your available RAM on your System SSD/HDD and the SSD/HDD that contains the Cyberpunk game.

To do this, simply right click the Windows Icon in Win10, Click on System, Scroll down to advanced system settings, click on the 'Advanced' Tab, 'Settings', then again on 'Advanced' tab, and press Change under the 'Virtual Memory' window. Custom size, fill in x2 of your Ram in both windows, do this for the drives described, press Set, press OK, and then restart Windows.

ProcessLasso Adjustments:

Download ProcessLasso. Make sure to enable Performance mode(ProBalance disabled for now), and most importantly, Enable Trim Saver.

Once Trim Saver is enabled, go to Options/Memory/Configure Smart Trim.


Settings:

Enable Smart Trim: Checked
Check Every: 1 Mins

Trim Working Sets: Checked

Never Act unless Ram load is greater then: 90%
Only For Processes whos Working Set exceeds: Default

Purge Standby List and System File Cache: Checked
Only Purge While In Performance Mode: Checked
Only Purge When free RAM excluding Cache is less than: 800MB

That's it. At that point all that's left is going ingame and testing the Optimizations. Feel Free to Report Results
could you give an example of what you mean by x2 for the virtual memory change?

I have really bad performance when im in the city. chaning the graphics settings isnt doing much maybe 2-5 fps more. im playing on a rtx 3080 with an ryzen 3600x at 4.3ghz with 32gb vengeance pro 3200 mhz RAM.
With or without raytracing the performance is all over the place fps dips are everywhere in the city!
its really an unpleasent expirience to play this game PLEASE FIX THE PERFORMANCE!
 
If you have 16GB Ram, you create a 32GB Pagefile.
what would I type in exactly, I do have 16gb of ram. My specs are I7-6700K and a 2070 Super. I can barely get this game to hit 50 fps. It is also not consistent. For some reason the game uses 90-100% of my cpu and roughly 30% of my gpu. I know I should be able to run the game at at least ultra settings (maybe even RTX medium). Is the game poorly optimized? I also have updated my drivers and done clean installations. (removed them several times using DDU). Windows 10 is up to date. At this point should I wait for a patch to fix things? Thanks for everyone's help.

at 16gb the page file can be 1x to 2x the ram. So you type in 16256, 20000, or 32512. For less then 16gb, page file should be at least 2x the ram. So when you got 8gb ram, you type in 16256 or more. The page file will take the space from your HDD or SSD.

Okey. After installing Mod for fixing SMT on Amd processors, in test 5 - fps became more stable(around 30 fps).

Hello, I found a very interesting mod on Nexus that is called "Amd Performance Fix". I opened "Task Manager" when Cyberpunk 2077 was running without fix and with fix and noticed clearly that it worked on my cpu (AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor). If you have a AMD cpu don't hesitate to visit the mod page.
URL: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/107

It would also be great if the Cyberpunk 2077 dev team took a look on this mod and implemented the changes it does directly into the game.

The very best regards

Here is Cyberpunk 2077 with Amd Performance Fix
 
The game is not optimized from AMD Ryzen CPUs, the SMT is not working well. On the Intel CPUs the Hyper Threating (which is the same than SMT in AMD) is working well, but with Ryzen we have got a infrautilization of the CPU.

Fix it, please.

The performance with my PC is horrible:
Ryzen 7 2700x 8 cores 16 threads
Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti
RAM 16 GB
Nvme SSD
 
Ok, so it's better to disable it in the Bios. I've added this to my guide (see above).

I prefer to get an in game patch from CD Project, due to I use the CPU for more things that playing and I don't want to enable and disable all the time the SMT because CD Project red lauched a broken game.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

yea.. but I think they know about these issues, and they spend more time reading all the mails they receive via the technical support, rather than having a chat in the forums. So if we want a solution for now, we need to try what's possible in order to make the game playable.
