Depending on the graphics settings, the game becomes a slideshow, on a rig I built this year.

The weird part: Neither CPU nor GPU load is particularly high (as you would expect from 2023 hardware running a 2013 game): GPU load is around 20% and even single-core CPU load doesn't go above 70%. (this is on a core i3 13100f and an intel a770. Yes, I know, lol intel arc, but still massively overpowered vs. 2013 cards)

And yet, it is definitely a problem with the graphics performance, as the FPS go up a LOT if I lower the details. So what's going on here? Where's the bottleneck, and is there anything I can do about it?

Do any other Arc users have the same issue - i.e. should I blame it on Arc driver issues (even though DX 9 performance seems fine across the board now)?

yeah blame it on arc.
I did had the same problem with amd for some time and it was fixed with a driver update, somehow... they didn't mentioned anything that may impact an old game like this.

At the same time in another system with an older 7790 it was flying... go figure.
