So been going crazy trying to figure out why my FRs for this game are crap with this 3090 FTW Ultra and obviously its the game and for some reason leans hard on the cpu instead of gpu but I'm sure everybody has noticed that and just shakes their head as I did.
 
But, one thing I did notice were the drivers. So I installed the 461.09 drivers and noticed my FR drop but by how much I wasn't sure. I know that 70 was were it really wanted to be and sometimes 10 or so frames higher.
 
I decided to drop back to the 460.79 driver and that allowed me to gain 15-20 frames. I looked at gpu usage and that seemed to increase as well but only by a little. I mean from what I'm seeing only 8-10 percent of the card is being used while 80+ percent of cpu. It did increase a little but yea not much.
 
Anyways didn't want to have to trim the settings in-gmae so maybe try this and see if you get the same results. 15-20 frames is worth the try.
 
Good luck!
 
BTW this is after the 1.1 patch.

So 1440 with everything jacked in-game, crowd/population I lowered, DLSS ultra.
Chip is the 8700k.
 
Maybe I will try the 457.38 again and see if that makes an even bigger impact. I was using that one initially but wasn't watching FRs. Wasn't until I installed the new ones I thought it seemed a bit laggy at times so I checked.

No computer specs, no resolution, no settings... describing any of that would help summarize your issues better.
 
I'm running a 3090 FTW3 Hybrid @ 2040MHz at 1000mV (overclock/undervolt) on a 9900K @ 5GHz, at 5120 x 1440 (7.4M pixels, AKA almost so-called "4K" resolution equivalent), and with every possible setting in game maxed out except DOF & Motion Blur which I hate both of so I turn them off, DLSS on Quality (because DLSS on Quality looks BETTER than native resolution in a lot of aspects in this game) I get between 30-60FPS almost 100% of the time, with the average being above 45FPS 95% of the time I'd say.  There are some areas it dips down near 30.  That's with the RT-stuff maxed as well, on Psycho not just Ultra.  Turning RT off completely flatlines me at 60FPS almost 100% of the time, despite that large resolution.  Yes I have the FPS capped at 60, because having more than 60fps in a title like this doesn't really do much good, saves stress on the GPU when not in a stressful scene.  I have also found that turning DLSS "up" (or would it be down?) to Balanced from Quality negates most of the FPS decreases I saw when going from my old resolution of 3440 x 1440 to 5120 x 1440.  Which makes sense because there's a noticeable counter-drop in visual clarity between the two settings... not MAJOR, but noticeable.

It almost for sure is the CPU bottleneck imo. Cyberpunk is one of THE MOST heavy non RTS CPU games out atm. Anecdotal, but my friend went from a 8790 to an AMD 5800x with his 3080 and got 20 more FPS and his low 1% went up by 30 as well. His memory also changed, but the idea is the CPU just vastly improved his performance.

i think the new 1.1 patch might cause new problem too

Use gpuz, hwinfo, aida64, precision, or afterburner to get your gpu info. NZXT and task manager will give you weird numbers. There's no way your gpu utilization is actually that low.

At stock clocks on the 3090 Hybrid | 5800x @4K with maxed settings, gameplay doesn't seem to get much higher than 60fps ever.

What are your settings? At 4k with almost everything maxed out with dlss set to performance I get 60-70 fps. Anything higher on dlss and I dip below 60.

If I have a chance to test after work today, before my refund goes through, I'll take screenshots for you.
 
I've put in about 6 hours and the crashes/bugs are just too much, even after the recent patch. 

Have you tried with no OC? CP2077 isn't very OC tolerant. I had to completely take off my OC to get it stable. Still buggy but I can tolerate it.

You can use PX1 to get more GPU load numbers

Gamers Nexus did some videos about Cyberpunk video quality and frame rate that are worth looking at but it seems you have already requested a refund for the game.
