[SOLVED] Cyberpunk FPS drop on Ryzen 3 3300X &RTX 2060 Super (Cyberpunk performance issues)

Hey guys, long story short, her's my rig :-
Ryzen 3 3300X
INNO3D RTX 2060 Super (2 Fan Base edition)
Adata Gammix D30 (8x2) 16GB DDR4 RAM
Corsair VS 450W 80+ White PSU
Ant Esports ICE 300TG
Crucial BX 480GB SSD + 500GB +160GB(OLD) HDD

So, I've experienced unstable performance and stutters while moving the camera while in vehicles. Not only that my PC shuts down randomly after any cutscene or COMPLETELY randomly when game is rendered at Ultra settings (with and without RTX enabled as well). Interestingly when I press the default button in graphics settings, the game sets itself to Ultra+Ray Tracing Ultra Preset which is weird as I did not expect it to go higher than HIGH or Ultra without RTX ON. The game MASSIVELY drops FPS to even higher 20s when in demanding city areas. But I usually am able to run the game at 45FPS on Ultra with Ray Tracing ON. AND I'm running LOW CROWDS so the CPU shouldn't really give me any stutters as well but uh... ? I've seen YouTube videos running Ultra + Ray Tracing with somewhat 50FPS+ and the lower FPS are like 40s but without any stutters... I'm fine with High settings and even Ultra Settings without RTX ON as the game can be much more stable without it but.... My GPU can handle Ray Tracing medium fine as per the system requirements so why it isn't possible ? It seems that the game REALLY need 6 cores to be more stable because I also saw Santiago Santiago's video on RTX 2060 and he only had problems with Ultra + RTX like 30 FPS and lower. Oh and yeah I'm playing with DLSS Qulaity mode so that I can record my Youtube gameplay of cyberpunk as well but the footage seems more fluid than the actual gameplay.
 
Solution
Get a better power supply. Cyberpunk is extremely demanding, is likely pushing your GPU and other hardware MUCH further than it ever had before, and your PSU is likely not able to keep up with the requirements without choking. Besides which, that PSU is a pile of garbage AND it is underpowered for that configuration. There might be other contributing factors as well but you need to start there because you're not going to determine anything for sure because you won't get any reliable results from any sort of testing so long as you are running that cheap power supply.

By the way, it is an orange lettering VS or an all black lettering VS model?

It's an All black and white lettering VS model
 
That's possibly a contributing factor, but I'd bet a dollar it's not the primary reason. Quad core should never make anything that runs, just shut down. Full on shut downs are due to hardware, not usually software.
Yes you are most probably correct because I ran Minecraft SEUS PTGI shaders too and they ran but also caused shut downs when I applied some good PBR texture packs like chroma hills. It probably is my PSU. I took it off from the old PC and just swapped it in the new one. I will have to buy a new PSU when the YouTube money arrives which might take some good amount of months of grinding on the platform but for now what solution do you suggest ?

This game runs like absolute turd on most all hardware and you’re going to need a $5000 box just to play it halfway decently I’m guessing because this game is not ready to be sold yet

So that's at least better than the older orange lettering VS, but not by much, and if it's old too on top of it, having come out of another PC, that just amplifies the problem and makes it even more likely. Check out the recommendations found at the page I've linked to in my signature below each of my posts. That will at least get you on the right path to a quality model. You want a GOOD 550w unit, minimum. I have an EVGA RTX 2060 Super XC Ultra gaming which I run with a Seasonic Prime Titanium 650w unit. You don't need something THAT high end or high capacity, at all, but it's definitely not overkill either if you are planning to do any overclocking (Or run PBO) of the CPU or graphics card.

A very decent 550w unit would be a good idea.

May explain lacklustre performance on 4 core smt threaded ryzen, would appear they're pretty much acting as a straight 4 core cpu.

I wouldn't try this on the steam version only the GOG release (steam don't ban as far as I know but who knows on this one) and always make a backup of the original file first.

YES... they don't act like multi threaded CPUs when they actually are. This thing seems to be happening with AMD users only and not so much for Intel users and they haven't done anything about it yet.... Let's see what the future holds for Cyberpunk and CDPR.

It did fix the stuttering for me but to a somewhat 50-70 percent extent and not fully so yeah... And I got about 10-15FPS boost from the Hex editing method as well so not bad.

Yeah I know it's used but my old PC was BARELY even using 150W-200W like I had a Pentium G3220 Dual Core 2C/2T CPU, Nvidia GT 1030 GDDR5 2GB, and 2 7200 RPM HDDs which I swapped into my new PC too. And I bought it just last year in starting of September so it's not that old IMO.
