I recently upgraded from an RX 580 to an RTX 3060 Ti, but The Finals now runs significantly worse than before. I’m getting around 40 FPS with frequent micro-stutters, making it nearly unplayable for competitive play.

This issue only occurs with The Finals, all other games, including other Steam titles, run fine.

It also doesn’t matter what settings I use. The game runs at 40 FPS whether I set everything to Ultra or drop to Low with DLSS on Ultra Performance.

The best performance I’ve managed (around 40–50 FPS) is using the following launch flags:

mangohud gamemoderun %command%

Here’s what I’ve tried so far (without success):

  • Tested Proton Hotfix, Experimental, Proton GE, and Proton EM (both Flatpak and native).
  • Ran the game with and without GameMode, MangoHUD, and Gamescope.
  • Updated drivers and system packages to the latest versions.

None of these made any improvement. Some configurations even caused the game not to launch at all.

well, they probably didn't back when 510 drivers were a thing (as the link you provided links to 510.xx driver documentation), but later on they were enabled.

The use of the GSP firmware, enabled by default since version 555 of the NVIDIA driver released in June 2024, is known to cause a range of issues including Vulkan failures and system crashes.

The GSP firmware will be used by default for all Turing and later GPUs
