I'm wondering if this would help get a solid 60 outside of interiors/around loads of NPCs. Only my GPU doesn't meet requirements, and it's still playable. But is mostly 30-40's unless I'm in a small interior or an interior with not many NPCs. The NPCs are more bound to CPU so I'm not sure if having lower res/filesize textures would help. I don't think the VRAM is the problem.
It's a little better. I'm pretty sure it's gotta be the NPCs now. Video card is handling it all quite nicely, despite not having RTX or even DLSS support, but everywhere there are crowds it slows down by 20 fps. Currently just standing in the main road of Neon and it's around 40-45, dropoing to 35 when I run, but get a solid 60 when no NPCs are visible by looking up at an animated billboard or something.
