    If by "geometry stretching" they mean polygons being rendered all over the place, that being fixed means Vulkan should be the better choice in most cases now.

    I hope they optimize performance in act 3 though. The amount of NPCs and stuff going on in the world causes severe frame drops, even with my 7950X3D.

      Have you tried setting the process priority to high? (Task Manager -> Details -> Right click BG3 -> Det priority to high). This got me a relatively smooth experience.

        I wouldn't do this anymore if you're on windows. They defaulted task manager to normal priority now (used to default to high). So if you set any task to high priority and it freezes/locks, you're going to have no hope of getting task manager open.

        At least if they're both normal priority, there's a chance for the OS to give some CPU time to task manager to open.

          Oh really? That seems like a weird move… I've at least kept it in the background, on a separate screen, at all times (though I'm not sure how much that would help…) But I'd probably use this anyway to get rid off the worst lag, it seems to be the most consistent way to do it.
