Third Crisis: FPS Nightmare (Workarounds)

The problem

So after im playing for like 10 minutes the fps starts getting horrible and the game gets really choppy. I've already turned down the fps to 60 and even 30 but it keeps happening. Is there a way to fix this before I refund?

What players suggest

Heya, can you try to turn off vsync?

I've tried that and It didn't fix anything. The only thing that seems to help is quitting out completely then restarting, but then the problems start again. I've been reading issues online and see the game might be heating up my GPU and causing it to overheat. I have a 4080 and i'm now worried my card will get damaged.

Damn, we tried specifically that, 30 minutes just running around Carceburg. My gut feeling is that there's some windows update or driver update or something that's causing issues here... Really hard to figure out what it could be without having it happening internally :c
