I will check this when I get home. I feel like its on because the only thing I changed was "high" settings to "very high" settings.

It likely is. What actually reminded me to ask about it was how tight your framerate range was from "easy" areas to "difficult" areas. You normally see more of a spread than that. Which then prompted me to remember that setting, and your having dynamic resolution scaling set to a target FPS of around 100fps would explain the results you're seeing.

And in case you're not familiar with the setting, it's how all modern console games work, and it's a setting you'll commonly see on console ports. Basically, you pick a target FPS. The game will then dynamically lower your resolution and settings to meet that target, as needed. If you can hit it at your max settings, great. If not, it quietly lowers them to keep performance the same.

That's actually why you'll see console players crowing about getting 4k 60fps on consoles that don't have near the hardware to actually drive that kind of performance.

ETA: If you're up for it, we should probably continue this on the HFW thread further down on the first page. That way people who find it later can follow along if needed.
