The game is very demanding now on my relatively robust PC. I'm getting between 80 and 90 FPS at 1440p with everything maxed in Novigrad now, when I was getting into the 130s before the patch. I have a 5800x and a 3070 Ti.
Nice thing with the game being as cinematic as it is, you don't need to worry too hard about maximizing frame rates, so long as you have a consistently smooth experience. It's not going to play any differently at 200 FPS or 80 FPS. You aren't cranking 90s and hitting headshots.
Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64
