For no reason at all, the game will drop from 160 fps to 22 fps, no matter the settings that I play at.
components: I5 13400f, RX 7600, 3000Mhz dual channel 8x2 memory, Game is installed on NVME gen 4 drive
The only way to fix this is to restart the game every 10 minutes.
Edit: People with the NVIDIA equivalent of my card (RTX 4060) are experiencing the same issue. This is getting weird now. I'm on Windows 11 and I don't feel like making a dual boot with Windows 10 right now just to test this out. Especially because Windows 10 requires a different partition than the new partition they made for Windows 11 specifically. I might test it out between the 2 different OS versions and let y'all know if the issue is tied to Windows 11. I just want people to know that they aren't the only ones who are experiencing this horrible issue that shouldn't be an issue to begin with. My weekend has been ruined because of this.

Edit: So far, these are the only settings that fixed the issue for me. I think that it starts appearing if you have textures set to anything above 1GB. This should do wonders till' the devs fix the issue: https://imgur.com/a/FPpBsnl

Edit 2: Putting everything on low/disabled, but keeping textures at 2GBs will cause the game to drop to single digit fps once again. The issue just seems to not be present when setting textures to anything below 2GBs. Honestly, it might just be the game being dumb. When I test any kind of settings, my max vram counter goes down along side normal vram usage counter, which shouldn't happen. This is causing my game to always be on the red color with the memory usage no matter what. Setting the textures to 1GB moves my vram usage counter way below the bugged max vram usage counter, which means that I can finally play the game on white memory color. (no glitches will occur)

Edit 3: The same issue started reappearing again, today, in the areas where it starts to rain heavily. I have no idea what else to turn off for the game to finally stop with these horrible fps drops. In every single video game, maxing out the vram doesn't cause fps drops. I can play Cyberpunk just fine with pathtracing enabled at ultra settings and turning the settings lower than ultra won't improve the performance. My vram also gets pegged, but at least the game doesn't stutter at all and no fps drops occur randomly for no reason. I just don't understand why this game has so many problems tied to memory usage. The memory counters are displayed wrong, so I don't actually know what settings to make. My vram is always in the white area now, but the same issue happens when it rains. And that's not even the worst part yet. This game uses the picture in picture method of zooming in, instead of zooming the whole image. This causes my game to stutter every single time I try to aim in with a rifle. This gay ♥♥♥♥ has to stop. I swear this isn't an issue in RE2 and RE3. I mean, I still get the same HDR problems in both of these games as well, but at least those games run perfectly fine without any stuttering or any major fps drops. And I have another question. Why does my fps stay the same even when I turn off raytracing? Isn't the game supposed to run better because I've lowered the weight on the cpu side? They should have made the game run without fps drops and stuttering like Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2. Strangely enough, playing with raytracing on medium makes my game run worse than running it with raytracing on high. From what I've seen, the only difference between medium and high is the resolution of the reflections. At medium, the game renders the raytraced reflections in half res. Yet another strange thing that is happening with this game on my system is that it becomes even more unstable when turning raytracing off. I start seeing white pixels popping up on the side of my screen when turning the camera around. I've had this issue as well in Jedi Survivor, and what fixed it for me was to play with raytracing enabled. But in that game, raytracing does lower your fps by around 20.

Edit 4: I just thought of something. Should I try to tag the application as high priority from task manager? I know this thing fixed a lot of games for me in the past. Though, I think the culprit of the problems is my GPU's drivers. I did a full DDU uninstall, but I can't run the newest drivers. The newest drivers are bugged for the 7000 series, so I'm on 23.11.1. When I try to launch any DX 12 application while I'm on 23.12.1 drivers, the drivers just crash.


Final Edit: Someone had suggested to use FSR, and it worked. It fixed all of my problems that I’ve stated above. However, FSR is broken in this game and looks a lot more blurry than it should be if you play in fullscreen mode. Switching to borderless fixed it for me. My game also stopped breaking out of nowhere due to having textures set to 2GBs or higher. Just use FSR or DLSS on quality if you experience any problems related to frame drops in this game. But don’t make the same mistake that I did! At first, I had turned FSR on while playing the game. This will glitch it out and it won’t boost your frame rate at all. You have to turn it on from the in game menu. Now, I would like to thank everyone who gave out their best in order to fix this fairly uncommon issue. The fact that this discussion page got around 50 comments is insane! I was definitely not expecting this kind of support from everyone.
