Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Performance Is Very Troubling, According to Early Reports

wccftech.com:

The review embargo for Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the direct sequel to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, dropped yesterday. Overall, the game was praised as a solid sequel to an already great game; you can find Kai's full review of the PS5 version here.

However, the performance seems to be one of the game's main issues at launch, particularly on PC. German website GameStar posted a gameplay video of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor running on a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, and 32GB of RAM; at 1440p resolution, the game cannot even always maintain 60 frames per second, which is nearly ludicrous. GameStar had CapFrameX metrics enabled, so we can easily see that the GPU is often stuck at just about half utilization, indicating big issues with optimization even with the Game Ready driver released by NVIDIA. GameStar also notes that the console version is far from immune from performance issues, anyway, as even the Performance mode on PlayStation 5 is currently plagued by noticeable frame rate drops.

GameStar was far from the only magazine to complain about the performance of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Latin American website PCMRace wrote:

The optimization, unfortunately, is just plain a mess on PC. With a Ryzen 9 5950X, 32GB of RAM and an RTX 3080 Ti, the game barely runs at 30-40 FPS at best. The problem, similar to other titles like Hogwarts Legacy, is that 12GB of VRAM isn't enough for 4K gaming, causing gameplay in certain areas to drop to 20 FPS or below. I mean, unplayable. In a specific part, I had to lower the resolution to 1440p or lower the details to Low-Medium because there was no way the game would go above 15 FPS due to lack of VRAM.

As expected, lower end PCs suffer even more
