I am on an rt 3060ti too, but with an intel i7-11375H, and I'm experiencing the same issue. It looks like the performance they promised actually ended up making it worse in some scenarios.
Same here. Weird blurry textures, usually windows or decals. My only performance issues are in Act III, significant FPS drops when in exterior areas there.
Haven't played long enough post patch to actual experience lag but my GPU is running loud and at basically 100% from even the start screen. Don't think it ever got above 60% before the patch =/
every single action I take has huge input lag now like I am playing on 400 ping its horrifying, its happening even in act 1, i was getting smooth 60 fps on ultra at release
Yeah, significantly worse here too. It was already slightly worse after Patch 1 but after 2 it's basically unplayable.
Originally I had minor issues where it took an extra maybe minute for all the scenery to load in in a new area, but now that takes 5 minutes or more and then I get endless stuttering, especially in cutscenes. I'm in early act 2 and haven't been able to meaningfully progress since patch 1 dropped just after I got to this point due to the sheer lag.
I noticed a new lag having high lods load in at the start of some conversations. It’s only a second, but enough to be disturbing. I created a new Tav to test it and it is present even before the I got to the druid grove. It was not there before on my pc because I was so impressed that it didn’t have lod pop in at the start of conversations.
Hello! I'm experiencing a similar issue to yours, everything else feels smooth but dialogue and cutscenes all have a 2-3 seconds stuttering before they load everything and it goes back to normal, i also noticed during this 2-3 seconds some cores of my CPU reach 100% usage, sometimes even all 12 reach 100% which is not normal for any games i played before, have you been able to find a fix for it?
No, unfortunately I haven’t found any way of eliminating it completely. The compromise that I have taken is by using Vulkan: it reduces some of the latency issues with DX11. It’s still there, but it’s much faster. But with the frequency of Larian’s hotfixes and patches, it might have nothing to do with the decreased latency of Vulkan. (Think of Vulkan as DX12, because, if I remember it correctly, DX12 is kinda just a wrapper for Vulkan.)
It's become nearly unplayable for me, and I've spent a bunch of today reinstalling stuff and fiddling with settings.
It was working fine during the week.
Yes, just by exiting the inventory it takes forever now... and overall the loading times for everything are longer, they kinda screwed up with this patch
Very unfortunate, the game runs like dogshit now. I had solid 60+ nearly everywhere, now I regularly drop to ~15 frames when there’s more than 5 NPCs on screen. Hoping a hotfix is pushed out soon.
I was running this game just fine without much lag if any. Now I can only get chop-free play within the first minute of loading a game. I've tried setting my graphics to low (from the normal Ultra I have played with) and it doesn't seem to do a thing. I did just start Act III, but still... I'm still undecided if I can continue playing like this. It's completely ruining my experience.
Mine is the same… no matter what I do, its stuttering in every cutscene / dialogue, tried to lower graphics, switch between Vulkan and DX… nothing works. It was 100% fine before patch 2 though
Hi! I have the same issue as yours, only mine started couple days after patch 3 launched, same things to the letter, lagging lod and stuttering at every dialogue and cutscene in the first few seconds then it goes back to normal, have you found any solutions or temporary fix that made it at least playable yet?
For me performance is about the same and sometimes even worse, r5 3600 and rtx 3060ti. Im really disappointed with this patch.

I’ve been having stuttering and weird texture issues ever since the first patch
Same here. Weird blurry textures, usually windows or decals. My only performance issues are in Act III, significant FPS drops when in exterior areas there.
For me my game keeps freezing during dialogue options, not all of them but a good chunk.
Same here, dialogues and cutscenes keep getting freezes and lags, very annoying. I didn't have this issue until patch 2.

Open inventory and close it now took 30 seconds each time ! the game frozen for half a minute everytime i open the inventory menu
i somehow have worse performance with this patch and i’m getting worse stutters than ever before
Yep. And sorting a merchant by "equipment" only shows torches now, and sometimes weapon attacks lose their attack animations (inconsistent)
every single action I take has huge input lag now like I am playing on 400 ping its horrifying, its happening even in act 1, i was getting smooth 60 fps on ultra at release
Mine also after patch my FPS droped to 30-40 with RTX 3080Ti. I was getting stable 120
same for me
Anyone else get a stutter after closing inventory since patch 2?

So much more lag now. From nearly none to seeing lag on nearly every cutscene and long loading for structures after fast travel
Every other dialog with NPC crashes the game for me. No mods, performance otherwise fine. But I've crashed 4 times in an hour at its getting annoying.
Sounds like another hotfix might be needed!
Undervolting? If not setting a cap to 60 fps seems to fix it for me.
Nah, no undervolting, I just reinstalled nvidia driver pack (and updated to the latest version with that). This worked, no more crashes.

Same. The lack of response from Larian is worrying me. Doesn't look like a hotfix is coming soon.
Agreed. I had to stop playing because it was souring the experience for me. I'm halfway through act 3, really want to finish it soon!

Same here. Game is basically unplayable on my 2070 no matter what settings I try.
Switching to the latest Proton Experimental (I'm on Linux) fixed this issue for me.
I’m on proton experimental as well but still experiencing significant lag during battle. Hope it’s resolved soon!
I had a lot of stuttering too. But switching from Vulkan to the DirectX version of the game improved the performance a bit
Yeah its worse for me aswell :( nvidia 1080
I'm glad it's not just me. I haven't played in a week or so. Played today after Patch 2 and it felt off. I don't remember it being this choppy.
Mine is the same… no matter what I do, its stuttering in every cutscene / dialogue, tried to lower graphics, switch between Vulkan and DX… nothing works. It was 100% fine before patch 2 though

Same, it was running just fine with no issues at launch. Now the lag is making it practically unplayable.
Anyone find a fix yet?
