I have not finished yet (I have 42hrs on Steam) but I really like Dragons Dogma 2, until now is a 9/10 for me, but the game have a poorly optimization and this is frustating asf (mainly in the city). I have a RTX 3070 and a Ryzen 5800x and the game use a lot of CPU, but when I watch stream and play the game at same time for example I just use 60-70% in the city for example, but I get just 35-65 fps in the first big city, when I'm outside of the city i get 60-80 fps.

Do you have an FPS ticker on for games at all time? I mean, tracking it is cool but would you notice the drop if you didn't look at the numbers or is there noticable frame pacing? 

You're probably doing better than me. This is so far the worst looking PS5 game I've played and I've played some AA stuff. It's pretty terrible although I've only noticed frame drops in cutscenes which is where the graphics are most polished ao it makes sense I suppose. The worst thing is the insane amounts of fuss in performance mode but with distance from the TV it's not so much of an issue oh and of course NPCs just pop into existence in towns and the city. 

I only use Afterburner. About framepacing problems i have only in the first city.
