Game does not need to go over 60 FPS for me. It is an RPG, you don't need millions of FPS.

True, but there is something about seeing sub 60fps in my FPS counter that doesn't feel right.

But with DLSS and a 4090 you can easily fine tune to get to +90fps @4k Ultra

It has been a wild ride with performance indeed, not what I was expecting, it doesn't even look that impressive, It's a good thing for my brother that we flipped his 2060 for a 6600xt or he would not be playing this game on the 6th.

But honestly coming from bethesda, I'm not convinced here will be patches to improve performance, in fact I expect there to be no patch at all for anything, maybe someone in the modding comunity can do something about the perforamnce, maybe we'll be stuck with it. If bethesda does anything, I'll be surprised.

Installed this afternoon. Initial startup took 13s and it has me at High overall with FSR enabled at 1440, seems fluid enough.
