Why does my Vastarmor RX 9070 XT drop to 20 FPS in Dragon's Dogma 2?
The optimization in this game is a complete joke; walking through a city makes the frame rate tank to 20 FPS, and I seriously wanted to throw my keyboard. The Vastarmor RX 9070 XT Super Alloy Pro has the specs to handle it, but the driver was struggling with complex city models, causing GPU usage to bounce wildly between 40% and 99%. I tried enabling Resizable BAR in the BIOS, but that only gave me a pathetic 3 FPS boost, while the lows stayed at 18 FPS—it was a total waste of time. I eventually installed the beta drivers and manually forced a full shader recompilation while setting my power plan to Ultimate Performance. In city tests, the FPS went from 20 - 45 up to a much more stable 42 - 55. I did hit two Blue Screens after installing the beta driver, but disabling a third-party monitoring tool fixed it. Temp is 68 - 75℃, fans at 1800 RPM. I've backed up the config, and it's finally playable.
