Performance is suddenly horrible dropping to 1fps on a 4090
I've played Rift Apart several times and never had an issue with performance. I'm running a 13900k and an RTX 4090. I've pretty much been able to max out settings at 4k 60. I just got a new 4k 120Hz display and decided to play through the game again, as it's been several months. This time, the game is pretty much unplayable.

It keeps stuttering really bad, dropping to 1fps. This happens no matter what quality setting I run at, although it is worse at higher quality settings. I tried dropping back down to 4k 60 and the problem still happens.

I've tried with and without G-Sync, with a without frame gen and with and without DLSS. Nothing helps. I'm at a complete loss. All other games play flawlessly (except Spider-Man with Frame Gen enabled, but that's a problem for another post).

Here's a recording showing a REALLY bad occurrence of the problem, which ultimately breaks the game

Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've checked the game files through Steam and no files were found to be bad.

Get a better drive, and install something like MSI after burner so you can show your various usages and temps. Then keep an eye on it to see if their are any spikes or dips.

The game seems to have fine performance once loaded, but it is stuttering while loading new areas, which implies that your drive isn't keeping up with the loading.

1 update drivers, make sure you are using a newer gen M2 drive and installing the game to it, and make sure the slot it is the highest gen slot available on your Mobo. I don't know of any mother boards with more than one m2 slot that is the newest gen.

Also try testing it at 1440p with all upscaling turned off (e.g. DLSS, FSR) and see if that changes anything.

Even my PC (4060 Ti), and even my Steam Deck* are getting better performance than your setup, so it is definitely something on your end.

You have trash GPU that is barely entry level when it comes to gaming, you need to wait RTX 7090 with 200GB of VRAM

Are you using a mux switch to switch between the integrated CPU graphics and RTX 4090? Because sometimes its better to have your main graphics be on the RTX 4090 card instead of having both running. For example on the MSI Center there is a way to switch your GPU to the Discrete Graphics Mode making your computer run the game only on the RTX 4090 disabling the CPU interrogated graphics.

You could also download the latest graphics version as sometimes the newer Game Ready Drivers iron out the performance issues on games that the card can not process without the newer drivers.

Link back to me if you fixed the issue.

That's a good point. My laptop was defaulting to using the integrated graphics on certain games, but you can force it to use the GPU. You don't need a 3rd party app to do this. You can do it in Nvidia settings.

Nvidia control panel -> manage 3D settings

Then adjust from there.
