(PC) Low FPS - Unoptimised Shadows

Hi there,
After installing this game, and reading other topics here/on Reddit, I’ve come to the conclusion that there seems to be something up with the Shadows in this game.

My specs are as follows:
16GB Ram
i7 4790
GTX 1080
Game installed on SSD
Windows 10

My computer can run most games on my 144Hz monitor at 144fps, with little drops (Call of Duty, Gears 5, etc.), so I can exclude hardware problems.
When turning “Shadows” to “Low” in Predator, however, my fps gets a massive boost - nearly 110/100 - no other setting affects fps at all like this, even with everything else on “Cinematic”.

Drivers updated, computer thoroughly physically cleaned, the only game I have this issue with is this one. Additionally, I can’t play on “Low” shadows, because frankly, the game looks horrid without them.

Other users have reported “View Distance” being the offending setting, but that can go hand in hand with Shadows. Regardless, there are key unoptimised sections of this game that give a sub-par experience for some PC players (who have strong PC rigs). My friend has a significantly ‘weaker’/older PC than me, but his game runs absolutely fine.

Please fix this! Either by driver update with Nvidia, or optimisation on your end. I love this game, but I get a massive headache after not even half a round because of the choppiness and slow fps. It’s especially bad on Fireteam because of the first-person perspective that really messes up with the choppiness from the shadows…

Many thanks.

Similar problem here. Fps drops from 60 to 30 at some times. Hope they will fix it.

Even If i set everything to low i have 70fps. Also there is my stuff :

Gtx 1070ti
I7700k
16gb ram

Same here, similar specs with a GTX 2080 Rtx card. frame rate tanks even after setting everything lower than what I can normally run. ESPECIALLY playing as the predator where you need to move and attack quickly, those frames matter.

The biggest fun is when u see the recommend specification to run this game.

I should have stable 100+fps and i have avg 40.

REALLY BAD OPTIMALIZATION OF GAME

@IllFonic shame on you.

try having a chat amongst yourselves and see if there is anything in common with your setups. I have a RTX 2060 and run Epic/Cinematic settings and its 60+

all epic settings and its 80-90…

Im on AMD cpu.

What is the CPU usage/thread usage in game etc…

See if there is something in common with your setups that may be causing it.

Do you all use the same antivirus for example…

like you have intel. have you got teh security features enables or hyperthreading disabled etc etc…

Same here : ryzen 5 2600, gigabyte RX5700 OC 8GB DDR6 , 16Gb ram
For me helps a little : vsync off , motion blur off , locked max 60fps and it’s more stabile
