After 45 hours of carefree gaming in ultra (W10 - i7-10700 - 16GB RAM and RTX3070), I have major performance concerns, especially in combat and on the move.

I have changed the graphics performance in game. Nothing changes. Has anyone had a similar problem?

By the way, the game does not appear in GeForceExperience. Could this have an influence?

I installed and tested it relatively recently, and I noticed it was running the cpu pretty hot and the gpu was running hot too, for what the graphical output was.

It definitely seems like something happened to the performance in the recent past, or at least in the past 6 months. It plays a lot worse than before.

Same thing I thought it was just me assuming such or something on my system apparently it isn't just me

While I have a AMD set up(I prefer the less convoluted naming scheme and seemingly far more computability with motherboards factor then intel atleast for when I was using intel that is ) And my rig is far beyond the recommended specs in general .. outside of the video card and its at the recommended specs .. but performance and heat issues cropped up after the latest patch we got on the game here .. Even before it was kinda having some odd issues but those was easy to overlook especially compared to what I heard the game was when it launched on pc in the first place ..(can't speak for sure there as I just got it here didn't get it till it popped here) Anyway the odd thing is even when I got it my pc hated running it on high was okay with meduim .. But I adfmite I prefer low and performance mode the most in games anyway as while it might be just my thought process and worry mixed with iether once truth or never true factor of lower settings for game makes the GPU last longer .. but eh whatever the case my pc just never has liked this game and afew other rare cases ironically ones that was games that first got released on console then got a pc port later in fact

Definitely not just you. Somehow my performance is garbage in every Sony PC game other than Death Stranding.

I run the game at Ultra settings in 4k on a AMD 3900X with Geforce Gigabyte Eagle GTX 3080 OC, no problems, I get about 75-80 fps with DLSS set to Quality.
According to the NVidia Overlay info the GPU usage is 100% but the card doesn't overheat

That had been a problem for games that hardly used the card, for those I had to limit the fps, The Longes Journey run on ScummVM with about 4000 fps with the fan sounding like a turbine, same problem im Batman Arkham Origns when opening the map and also with several Unity games.

HZD however runs just fine. Yes, I had a few crashes, the games DOES have issues, but nothing serious.

Must be nice to come into threads with high end gear in your pc, say "My performance is fine so yours should be too" and leave.

Ya its like they wanna be rude.. as so many varables can be the problem for example a faulty card.. something else in the system and so on that is causing issiues even driver problems too from not updating proper or a flux in a driver update from the company and so on ..

FWIW, I gained a bit of performance reinstalling Windows, not just on HZD but across a variety of games. But still, that dude came in bragging acting a fool...

Ya windows has that weird quirky issue it seems .. usually it does good to after so many updates to reinstall windows for a varity of reasons I find .. but that could just be me or maybe not.. Whatever the case agreed that person seemed to be bragging .. I honestly wonder why performance issues cropped up in HZD though after the latest update when from my readings it was meant to help address issues

At least they're still working on it. Santa Monica haven't even begun to address the AMD issues in God of War outside of saying "AMD knows about this and is working on it."

What makes you say that? Jealousy?
What am I supposed to answer? He asked a question about experiences with a 30x0 card and since I have a similar one, I answered. QED.
If I still had my 1080 card, I could answer to a question about that generation. Then of course I would not play on 4k, that would be quite stupid, that card was not made for it.

You going right to jealously as a assumption screams projecting or wanting that to be why.. For me how you typed it came off as more so bragging rather then just technical help

It's probably a language barrier. Kind of like how us Americans get labeled as braggarts when we try to share an experience so someone doesn't feel so lonely.

At least, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. And no, I'm not jealous. I game at 1080p, I don't need a better GPU than what I have.

And you're going right to me wanting to be rude also the word "bragging" was around somewhere, just because I answered Joodas question ... Yes, I am going right to jealousy.

I hate it when I get support thicket with no more information than "There was an error". My answer to that would be "We're just gonna immagine your system and what the error is, so we can come up with a solution."
So yes, I try to give as much information as I have. If that includes the hardware I am playing on and the fps, then you'll have to live with it.

If more people would list their hardware and say if they have the problem or not, then it would be possible to work out a pattern, what it can depend on and what not.
But no, what we get is people who complain about others having certain hardware and listing it in a topic that most definitly has to do with hard- or software.

So far we know:
GTX 3070 / 3080: Doesn't seem to be the reason, both cards are about on the same level, differences should be minimal.
Win10: I played on both Win10 and Win11, no problems, that's why I didn't name my OS.
16 GB RAM ... don't think that this has anything to di with it, 16GB should be more than enough. Due to my huge CPU cooler I even play without Dual Channel, so I don't think RAM has anything to do with it.

The only thing that remains currently is:
Intel it 10700 vs AMD Ryzen 3900x: Might be a cause, but with only one example listed it's impossible to tell.


It might be worth to mention that I turned off extended BAR support. That causes performance drops for games that use most of the VRAM.
