Hi everyone,
I’m having a really strange performance issue in No Rest for the Wicked and I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

My specs:
RTX 4070
Ryzen 5 5600
32 GB RAM
2TB SSD (Crucial CT2000BX500SSD1)

The problem:

I’m getting around 30 FPS on average, even on very low settings. Changing graphics settings (low/medium/high) does almost nothing.

What’s weird:

Two of my friends are getting around 80 FPS+ with noticeably worse hardware than mine, so I’m really confused about what could be causing this.

Things I already checked:

Drivers are up to date
No FPS cap / V-Sync off (as far as I can tell)
Tried lowering all settings to minimum
Same result in different areas of the game
At this point I’m wondering if this is:
a CPU bottleneck issue
a driver / configuration problem
or something specific to the game engine / optimization

If anyone has ideas, I’d really appreciate help.
Thanks!
