Hunt: Showdown on arc a770

[dabi]

So I have been playing hunt showdown lately and it seems to work somewhat acceptable, the problem is that this GPU performs a lot worse than the rtx 3060 ~185 FPS (same settings) in this game which should be a comparable card. Maybe this game needs optimization from the driver level. Haven't noticed the game speeding up from driver to driver, but I only have had the card for a month. I have not been able to try this game with DXVK as it uses Easy Anti-Cheat, and there's no way to open it without EAC starting.

I'm getting around 100 FPS in ultra-low settings using the Arc A770 bifrost from acer.

There's also a different problem on which I alt-tab out of the game while in full-screen and it changes all the colors on my screen, its like if in-game gamma affects everything else as the colors are different with different in-game gamma configs.

I installed the latest beta drivers after using DDU without network enabled, so windows doesn't trash out the clean installation. I have also the latest BIOS, as for some reason, with the last BIOS the card wasn't supported in my system with the latest GPU beta driver for some reason. Can't update to the latest windows build as I don't get it from windows update and can't install it unless I do a clean install, which i can't do as I have to work on this computer.

This probably won't be the answer you want, but I played Hunt on "PopOS" (linux) and got around double the FPS I did on windows 10 on my 8GB A770, because when you play through proton you are using Vulkan which is dx12, this is also not triggering anti cheat as it is a supported option unlike DXVK.

It is great to know, though I cant play it that way as I also want to play rainbow six siege and it is bricked on linux. And I dont like to dual boot so I'm waiting for the new engine update
