Tech experts at Digital Foundry have analyzed Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3 and identified the reasons why PCs are struggling to handle it. The densely packed city setting of Act 3, filled with NPCs, puts a considerable burden on the CPU, leading to performance issues such as lower frame rates, spikier frame times, and stutter. Camera transitions into cutscenes also suffer due to the higher CPU load. Despite lowering settings, the performance impact remains significant, and Vulkan does not provide a substantial improvement. Digital Foundry calls on developer Larian to address these performance issues in future updates.
