🔧 Baldurs Gate 3: Dramatically increase performance / FPS with any setup! BEST SETTINGS 📈✅

I'm not affiliated with this YouTuber, but I thought this might be useful to someone else. I have a RTX 3080/Ryzen 5800x/32 GB machine and was hovering around 30-40 FPS even after turning a lot of settings down. I think I just haven't kept up with the best combination of settings. This video got me up to an average of 70-80 FPS (except for in denser areas, where it can drop to 45).

Clickbait garbage.

Your specs are slightly better than mine and I'm running at a stable 144fps at 1440p with everything maxed out. I guess you're running at 4k? Even so I would expect your framerate to be higher than that
- yeah, i'm at 1440/144 on a 3070ti/5800x.
  
  Thanks to you both for the info on your specs/frame rates. The first numbers I quoted were at 1440p. I believe the guide recommended starting at 4k, so I think the 70-80 FPS is at 4k. I'll have to continue to tweak.
  Side note - what's the general consensus on DDU (Display Drive Uninstaller). Do you all use that each time there is a new NVIDIA driver? I'm just wondering if I have a more base level issue.
- Same you have something going on man, I have the same specs as you (3080, 5800x) but I'm getting stable 144fps at 1440p 80-90% gpu usage.

Is anyone perhaps able to summarise these alleged "best" settings? I hate YouTube clickbait.

I use a Linux Gaming PC I built.
I have a Nvidia 3080ti and get 60 fps without DLSS and over 100 fps with it on. This is on a 4k TV. I use Vulkan.
Specs:
Ubuntu (Lunar Lobster 23.04)
ASUS Prime Z690-A LGA
Intel Core i7-12700KF
CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz C40-40-40-77 1.25V
ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
Nvidia drivers 535.86.05

I’ll need to check this later
Sometimes the performance is a bit painful but I’m also running 4K Split screen on a 3070ti.

I’ve got the same specs as yourself and you should have been getting more than 30-40 fps.

I have an RTX 2060, undervolted and temp limit to 65C (can't stand the fan noise). Got a stable 55-60 fps on standard high/ultra settings, no DLSS. Edit: 1080p

There's one thing that I unintentionally left out. One of the top comments on the video mentions that the launcher can cause huge performance issues. I tested this last night. 1440p with DLSS Performance, generally High settings:
If I leave the launcher running - 35-60 FPS
If I kill the launcher (or disable it with Steam launch option) - 70-100 FPS
The DX11 and Vulkan seem about the same.
- Huh, I'm trying to figure out why you are getting such low frames. In also running a 3080/5800x/32gb ram on a 1440p ultra wide and my average fps is in the upper 80s, maybe during large fights it might go down to like 60, but the only time I've seen it go lower than that has been a few obvious glitches (turned an enemy into a sheep that was constantly trying to open a vault but it didn't have the key to it on its sheep body, was pretty hilarious.)

Seems uneccessary because the game actually runs pretty well.
I have some minor stuttering issues, but a) I'm playing on an i7 4790k, which is just barely over the minimum, and b) I'm playing on Linux. In particular it's clear that Vulkan is more performant, but dx11 is more stable on my particular system at the moment.
