Issue with arc raiders running at low frame rates, high frame times, and low gpu utilization

[u/This-Score2010]

Hi all,

I'm running a 5950x paired with a RTX 4070 12GB, 32GB 3200 DDR4 ram, and two samsung nvme drives. I'm running a fresh windows install, all my drivers are updated, I've tried running a DDU to no avail. I've deleted my shaders. I've tried rolling back drivers, I've tried all manner and combination of nvidia control panel, windows, bios, and arc raiders settings. I've tried many things.

I'm running sub 120fps on lower settings with high frame times.

The weirder thing is that it doesn't seem to want to utilize 100 percent of my gpu resources when this is happening. I'm on a 1440p 180hz gsync monitor. I've tried nvidia reflix on, boost and off. I've tried vsync on and off, I don't wish to use frame gen. Even running dlss on dlaa, quality, balanced, performance and ultra performance, it has this issue. I even changed out the cable with a known good DP cable.

I've checked to make sure everything is seated properly, everything else runs fine except for this one game.

I'm at my wits end. Anyone have any ideas what could be going on?

How low are your settings? All low or medium low? 5800x3d with 4070 seems to be running 140avg fps at 1440, which should be ahead of your setup by about 10-15%

I can turn everything to low with dlss on high performance, its the fact that I'm not cpu bottlenecking and my gpu seems to not want run at full utilization like it will in every other game.

Check if you Gaming mode turned on in bios for that cpu.

Also check Resizable Bar while youre in there.
