Lowering graphics does help to mitigate this, but the issue is still there. Keep in mind this is due to bad optimization considering GPU is not at full usage\n\n**UNLOCK FPS:** [https://x.com/Notmdi/status/1793581051765473508](https://x.com/Notmdi/status/1793581051765473508) Follow this guide in case you want to play above 60fps.\n\n# Optimized Quality\n\n* Graphics Quality: Advanced as base\n* Frame rate: 30/45/60. Personal preference, try to aim a stable frame time.\n* Shadow Quality: High\n* Motion Blur: Personal Preference\n* NVIDIA DLSS: Personal Preference\n* Sharpening: 1.20-1.50.

"body": "This game is kinda unbelievable in how shitty the performance is for how uninspiring the look of the environment is. My 6700 XT has \"stable\" 60 FPS average according to Adrenaline, but the 99% FPS is only at 45-50. Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima which has like 10x much more eyepopping candy can run 70+ 99% FPS with the upscaler off.",

"body": "He is not talking about the theme. Like talk a look at both games graphics. which one do you think should've performed better? Obviously Wuwa. It's not a game with realistic graphics like GoT. So why would it struggle in the first place? not to mention, lowest settings looks worse than Genshin, yet such trash performance. I can play low (not lowest) at smooth 60 fps without any issues in Genshin yet wuwa can't stop stuttering and fps dropping for one second at LOWEST? Literelly can't motivate myself to grind this game.",

"body": "Feels like gsync isn't even working when it's dropping frames.\n\nEven moving the camera around is enough to drop frames too. Doesn't stop unless shadows are turned to low (off), utterly destroying the look of the game. Instantly 120 solid though.\n\nSomething really is totally borked. How did this get through multiple months of beta testing?",

Looks like it's a game I'll have to test with every so often patch (and depends on if I want to play it too, I never get into gacha games for several reasons but decided to try this considering Punishing Gray Raven was fun and I never put a single coin there lol)"
