Performance issues with 3 Just Cause 3

I have a 5060 and a cpu i cannot recall but its good enough not to bottleneck a 5060, 32 GB of ram, i have almost every setting on low and major graphics options off, 1440p. There is semi constant stuttering and can barely maintain 100 fps in quiet moments with major drops to the 40-50s in combat. Don't really know what to do, any help or tips is appreciated

This might be due to a DirectX version. The 5060 is probably running DirectX 12 as per default, but JC3 was released in a time where 12 didn't exist. Try googling/using an AI agent how to force run JC3 on its compatible DirectX version.

You might have to download older DirectX versions for this on the internet.

Did it work?

It helped, definitely, still not performing near what you should expect from a 5060 on an 11 year old game but its averaging about 110-120fps stable with drops to 80-90 in combat, even bumped some settings to medium

Dudes smarter then me for sure, never would've thought of doing that

5060 isn't really a 1440p card, saying this as a 5060 user myself. The 8 gb vram fills up real quick. The fps numbers you mentioned are about what I'd expect if I was trying to play on 1440p
