Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 is effectively the PC version at ultra settings (www.eurogamer.net)

Happily, PlayStation 5 manages to deliver a creditable rendition of the game, but the now legendary Act Three continues to humble CPU performance - perhaps more than we anticipated going in.

2060 super user here. I'm assuming you haven't made it to Act 3? The game has some performance issues there. I happily turned down the graphics to continue playing smoothly but was a tad disappointed.

I'm on my second playthrough though and they have patched it since my first experience so hopefully the evil campaign runs (visually) smoother.

Act 3's issues aren't GPU bound, it's entirely CPU bottlenecked. It's likely someone with a slower GPU won't see as big a drop in performance in act 3 as you, and it's likely you don't see any performance gain from using DLSS in act 3. My 2080 Super was sleeping through it even at 3440x1440 on ultra while my Ryzen 7 3700x was getting thrashed.
