GPU performance. Vulkan and DX12

Hi everyone. Im having an issue where when i use DX12 I will randomly get an issue where my game freezes briefly and then unfreezes but i get the little cog wheels loading and a black screen for a few seconds and then it recovers. I swapped to vulkan to fix this issue and the issue is gone, however i now encounter an issue where using vulkan my gpu will randomly stop pulling full power. My GPU usually pulls 300-340 watts. In vulkan it will occasionally only pull 150-200 watts and my FPS will be terrible. It doesn't seem to fix until i reload the client.

My specs:
RTX 3080
Ryzen 9800x3d
64gb ddr5 6000
2 tb PCIE gen 4 m.2 SSD
850w PSU
x870 tomahawk motherboard

Does anyone else experience these issues?

The DX12 issue is known to GGG since over a year, but they couldn't figure out a fix for it. They said in a recent interview that Nvidia requested GGG to send them a PC where this issue persists, so they can recreate it.

No idea about the Vulkan stuff tho. Didn't have any issues with Vulkan on my 3080 or 5080. I haven't used windows for over a year tho.

The freezing dual cog thing happens to me too every 2-4 hours or so, and I just usually hit ESC to pause and just wait it out and the game comes back where I was with no harm done.

I have almost the same set up you do except the GPU is a 5070.

It’s annoying sure, but the games still in EA ermiright?

Appreciate the responses. Unfortunate they havnt figured out the dx12 thing for a year but I hope they can get a rig sent to nvidia for testing.

Just wanna weigh in that Vulkan performance is great for me over DX12 but the issue you described happens to me to an even stronger degree, it would start fine with Vulkan and slowly pull less and less power and the FPS go down until it reaches single digits and eventually crashes the game and sometimes even the Kwin/Wayland (yes, plalying on Linux) being forced to restart, i'd love to be able to play with Vulkan since the performance for DX12 is quite bad, i hope is a game bug issue/drivers issues so it can get fixed.

Rest assured it aint your rig, the game is an unplayable mess for me.

Pretty similar to yours with a superior GPU, still can't play it. The game stutters all the time, doesn't matter if its Vulkan or DX12. I've tried every configuration possible in the graphics settings in-game with no success. I've done every troubleshooting and out of game optimization steps I could find online. Nothing. Sometimes I can get about 30 mins of buttery smooth gameplay before it starts stuttering again. If I play on windowed FS, it stuttes. If I play on FS and its running well I can't alt-tab for any reason or else it will start stuttering.

The fact that I can play every other game out there on max settings with no issues tells me its a GGG problem and its shitty optimization, not mine. The whole point of investing a considerable amount of money on a PC is to not have to spend hours online finding the perfect graphics setting for your rig.

I've given up playing the game. It's an awesome experience when its running well, but its been very uncomfortable to the eyes for 70% of the time for me. I'm still on the lookout for a fix but until then I'm skipping it =//
