You dont need to put down textures if you have a decent card. Just turn down shadows and reflection aswell as game illumination and foliage those are the most fps heavy settings.

I am in the same boat, 10900K at 5Ghz, 3080Ti and easily getting the same frame as yours. Not sure what the Op in this video is doing i.e. 45 FPS on 3080Ti? Not happening.. My RAM is super low latency so that might help because this game is CPU bound (4000Mhz, CL14 DDR4 RAM here..) Also the OP is running 4 sticks for RAM so he probably get terrible performance, I would be amazed if he reached XMP timings with 4 sticks.

[@182ndNegociator]

NVIDIA didn't paywall frame generation. It's just that their tech is hardware based and anything below 40 series can't physically do it. AMD's FSR is a software based solution which is why that works for everybody.

[@brandonerwin7031]

FSR is unplayable for me. Frame generation is helpful, but my input lag is atrocious. I'm basically trying to play on a rig that's MAYBE slightly about minimum specs though. Old 8700K @ 4.8ghz, 32GB of DDR4 and a RTX 2080. I can only play on LOW settings across the board. DLSS and ULTRA performance. This gives me in the neighborhood of 35-45 fps with terrible pixilation, due to a 33% resolution.

[@gabrielchcosta]

4:46 frame generation adds a lot of input lag which sort of cancels out the benefits of the added frames. Test it yourself and see what feels better guys.

[@mikecostanza303]

Not just input lag, but for me, it adds a type of motion blur that just can't be ignored. It's worse than the motion blur setting at max, and it creates the blur effect at any mouse movement. No mouse movement, and everything looks decent with about a 20-25fps increase. That's essentially worthless, though :/

ARMA was a different issue. That was 4-core CPU frequency dependent. At least, from what I read, that was because the game engine could only utilize 4 cores and when you start adding a lot of AI, the CPU requirement would go up drastically, along with RAM... to some extent.
