Good test for my 3080, but not impressed by the game at all, what a cheesy joke. Anyone else in this boat?

If you are playing it on 4k 60 that dlss is going to look smudgey to say the least. 3090 here and DLSS on quality was anywhere from 35 to 45fps
I done same change, 1080 to 3080. Nice to get great upgrade after years.
You are probably best using 4k then DLS if u want more frames.
Also I found 1440p a bit underwhelming on 3080.

Played through my first 100 or so hours mostly with RT on and using DLSS, and now replaying again with another build and testing the waters with RT off but in 4k, which also looks very nice. So far I'd say that the RT benefits are very nice for this type of game and outweigh whatever IQ loss you could attribute to DLSS upscaling to 4k over native.
Interesting tests vis-a-vis CPU performance for RT:

Despite under the guise of rayvtracing, these benchmarks are simply a repeat of earlier rdna 2 vs ampere at 720p cpus bottlenecked benchmarks done by hardware unboxed and the results are the same too
Decided to do some more benching, in the interest of clarifying my CPU limits better. The game performance with RT on has improved quite a bit with the last two patches, at least for me.

Conclusion
For a 6800: If you want to turn on RT in this game then 1080p is a good all around resolution, especially if you keep RT L at medium. If you have a VRR display then you can go to Psycho, or maybe drop resolution down to 900p. The softness of the image even on a 4K screen is not too bad actually. 1260p is a nice resolution where you can pretty much cap at 30 fps and still have a "crisp" image. With no RT I can do 75% of 4K and maintain 60 fps pretty easily, while also bumping up AO to High & SSR to Ultra. If you only want to use a singular effect, like RT Reflections or Lighting medium, then 1080p 60 fps is doable, or >40 fps for 1440p (neither shown here but tested by me some other time).

- 720p & 720p 50% are the only results with no raytracing active, done so as to determine the CPU limit.
- The changes for RT settings are next to each item. If said setting is used by itself then only it is mentioned, the only combo of RT settings is "all", i.e. shadows and reflections and lighting (medium/ultra/psycho). For resolution tests with RT all of them were enabled and lighting was at Psycho.

I personally loved the game- But then again, I have a 5900X + RTX 3080 and a massive AW3821DW Ultrawide... Need to play it again since its been a while#~!

Thanks for putting the work in Poneros save me some time on setting up.

Yeah the visuals were fine, 4K RT looked sweet, but i kept skipping the crap dialogue bits and probably missed clues and stuff. In the end just gave up.

Back playing this since getting a 3080ti... looks so sexy now 
And bugger getting a new cpu, 6700k is fine with it!

Did some more tests, at 768p, again exploring CPU performance & settings scaling. Most interesting is just how HUGE the performance impact of greater crowd density is. Where I didn't mention it explicitly the crowd density is at high.
M all = all raytracing settings on, lighting at medium; RT Lp = for raytracing only lighting is on, and at psycho; rest is self-evident

Crowds are the only issue with my cpu, so I just aim a gun at someone and they all leg it
This has just had a massive patch and FSR is added now as well as dlss sharpness slider, screenshot comparisons (dlss sharpness set to 0.25, which is too much imo)
FSR UQ fps seems quite a bit lower than dlss quality, possibly a bug.
Will do another screenshot comparison in bit of different area.

Wait why am i seeing 2fps and 5fps screenshots? I am confused to what I am looking at here Nativem, DLSS, FSR?
Yup those are native ones, everything maxed (rt lighting set to psycho) and with several mods + several 4-8k texture packs so gpu is coming under complete bottleneck
The higher fps ones are dlss and fsr is lesser FPS. Only first one has both dlss quality and balanced. Last 2 areas are just dlss quality.
FSR Performance @ 4K looks REALLY stupidly good, hell even Ultra Performance is usable but clearly soft. Big difference in performance between the 2 tho, more than I expected. Unfortunately the scaling seems to be much worse for 3840 x 1620 (I like to stretch it out, works better for first person) and at least in the benchmark had more issues, so I guess I'll have to investigate some more.
Has anyone seen where the Variable Rate Shading option is? Saw it in the patch notes but can't find it.

Woo when I finally get the patch downloaded (based on the current % it will be an overnighter...) I can actually see what the 6800 in my desktop can do with RT enabled. <30FPS @ 3440x1440 is painful and the 3080 in my laptop was laughing at it...
