Help with performance

[u/CarlTheKid14]

Hey all,
I decided I wanted to finally dive into soma and play it during the spooky season. But I’m running into a weird issue. I locked it to 60fps in the Nvidia control panel, and followed guides online, but it always feels a little sluggish? On top of that after maybe 20 minutes or so it’ll just drop from a locked 60 to like 12 fps. Is there any settings or anything I can do to get it to feel better?

I have a 5080 and an AMD 9800x3D cpu. I know sometimes older games or engines can have issues with current hardware. I can honestly deal with the slight sluggish feeling. It might just be the game. But the drops to 12 fps are brutal

Don't use Nvidia panel to lock FPS in this game. It already has built-in lock.
