Specs: OS: Windows 10 Home Edition GPU: AMD 5700 XT (Driver version: 20.7.2) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 RAM: 16GBs PSU: 750W Storage: 480GB SSD + 2TB HDD (Destiny is stored on the SSD) Monitor: AOC 24G1WG4 144HZ FreeSync Monitor I've been getting some pretty low FPS for the hardware that I have paid for. On earth, I'm getting FPS in some areas that are lower than 60FPS. Changing the settings from low to ultra make about a 1-2% difference at most. During those low framerates, I'm seeing in the metrics that my GPU usage is around 50% and my GPU usage is around 40%. My target frame rate is 144 fps since I have built my computer with that in mind, so I am not aiming for a 60 fps experience or lower. Here are the steps that I have followed for reference: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/241160640?sort=0&page=0&path=1 "1. Verify the integrity of your game files in the Steam app. 2. Remove your CVARS.xml file. 3. Try lowering your graphics settings, capping your FPS, lowering your FOV, and changing your Window Mode to Windowed. 4. Turn VSYNC on and/or off. 5. Lower the clockspeed of your GPU. 6. Lower your hz on your monitor. 7. Remove the Windows Gamebar. 8. Edit your Radeon Gaming Settings and Shader Cache if you use a AMD Radeon card or Reset/Optimize your game's graphic settings if you use NVIDIA GeForge Experience 9.

None of these steps seem to be working for me unfortunately and they make no difference in performance for me.
