How many of you are on Windows 11 as opposed to Windows 10?
I still use Windows 10 and have no plans to downgrade. Maybe make a poll so see if there's an outside-game reason for the FPS drops. My current play-through isn't dramatically different from version 1.5.

Have the same issue, for me, there is a slow down after I leave a menu but it will recover.
Other times it will last until I change some graphic settings back and forth, don't have to restart the game to fix it though.

Personally, I think it's one of those millions of settings that get mentioned in google-searches that *may* make a difference but probably shouldn't
I've had a weird experience with this patch. Dove into the game and had quite horrible performance. Went online, looked around. Saw the "reset to default settings and then reset graphics options manually" tip. Was skeptical since these types of solutions never work for me in games, however, it actually really did work for this patch for some reason.
For me, I feel like I've actually been able to push some graphics options up and get a way more acceptable "steady" FPS than I've gotten on the previous patch. It's been noticeable for me.
Two problems for me though:
I do get the seemingly random longer term FPS drops that some people report though. I can't really figure out what this is tied to. It really feels random.
And the worst thing for me, with 1.6 I keep getting sudden hitches or stutters where the frame will freeze for a second and then go on. The overall FPS is completely fine, just getting the stutters periodically.

Welp...for the number of times it has come up, I think we may actually have something along the lines of a memory leak here. Definitely can't be sure, but enough people are reporting exactly that effect, and it seems consistent enough.

Can anyone experienceing this please report it to CDPR Support as a standalone ticket. Best description to include is:
Performance degradation over time.
...followed by a description of what happens and when. (About how long does it take to become noticeable?) Additionally, if you are to reload a saved game, does performance increase again? Try also quitting to the main menu and reloading that way. If you reload from within the game, it won't clear as much of the resident stuff out of RAM.
I wonder, does this game suffer from something similar to Fallout 4's "bloatfile"?
Patch 1.6 made my game literally unplayable. 3800x, 2070s, 32gb, evo970plus. I had ~66fps in 1.52 (1080p, DF optimized settings + Ultra RT without sun shadows, DLSS Balanced) and now my framerate with exact same settings dropped to ~42!!! average fps. Thought that may be on my side, but i already reinstalled Windows, tried 3 different driver versions, nothing helped. Last thing that i made is compared this two versions, 1.52 and 1.6, so all I can do is just wait for hotfix, bc i know, that my rig could handle Cyberpunk 2077 with good settings at 60+ fps.

Maybe you already tried and/or maybe it won't change anything, but worth to try :
OkLeKill3rFou, thanks, but yes, saw this tip on reddit, have tried it one of the first since noticed fps drop after patch and it didn't helped me at all
If it's not already done, the best would be to send a report to the support with a benchmark (better than "waiting" a fix, at least it could help CDPR to figure out why and above all, why it doesn't affect everyone).

Greetings,
Just wanted to chip in here, for those who are using specifically G Sync monitors. Try to disable vsync and also disable the maximum frame rates in game and GPU Control panel as well. You can either try either one as well but I decided to disable both. ( Including low latency too. )
Frankly since this game is so taxing unless u have a next gen GPU to play at maxed settings with 100+ fps on average... that wont be the case.
No screen tearing etc since its still below your refresh rate so worth give it a try.
Game seemed totally smooth for 3 hours overall for me. Will try give it more time to keep on testing it if I have the time.
I really hope thats the case so we can address this issue later on. Fingers crossed though.
Played on maximum settings (Both Psycho including Ray Tracing and Screen Space Reflections) on 1440p.
HDD mode off & Crowd Density High.
Balanced and Performance DLSS used respectively. ( 50+ fps & 60+ fps average ).
Current Nvidia Driver used : 516.59
My specs :
Windows 11 Pro
i5 12600k (5.2 Ghz overclocked)
Nvidia 3070
DDR4 SDRAM 32gb Corsair Vengeance Lpx (XMP Enabled)
Samsung 970 PRO M.2 NVME SSD (Installed game)
Corsair RM850 PSU

Whatever the underlying issue is, as it's still not as it was for me with 1.5, can say that turning off Resizable Bar has had a huge impact on me noticing it in general gameplay. Also seems to have doubled the minimum fps recorded by the benchmark.
First question, and it's always the big one:
Are you using any mods, or have you every used any in the past?
In either case, if the "return settings to default and restart" thing does not clear up the issue, then it's possible that there is simply an issue resident in the save file or installation that cannot be retroactively corrected. This is not uncommon with games that have been through multiple updates over time. Do the performance issues manifest if you begin a brand new game?
If nothing else works, then the last thing I would try is a complete deletion of the game content (manually cleaning things like the AppData folder of all CP2077 files). Be sure to back up your saved games first! Reinstall the game to a brand new directory, ensuring that it is not located anywhere under Program Files or Program Files(x86) -- install instead to the root of your drive or a directory of your own creation.
Ensure no mods whatsoever are installed.
Begin a brand new game -- do not try to load your existing save files. See if that clears the issue up. If so, you can be assured that the issue lies somewhere in the resident data of your existing files. If not, then it's definitely a problem between the game files and your system config, somewhere. At that point, I'd send in your complete specs and a vanilla save file to CDPR Support.
