Thread: Micro FPS Drops since 6.4

Since patch 6.4, I have been having small fps drops at random times (usually only about a 4-6 fps drop for a second). They used to be once in a while, but today, they have been VERY frequent and noticeable with a an occasional higher fps drop (about 8-10 fps).

GPU temps are in a good range (72-75c) and CPU/GPU utilization is normal, though I do have high HDD usage when loading into areas or at the beginning of raids and trials for a minute til the effects lag catches up.

I run an Intel i7-7700 and GTX 1060 3gb on an HDD (all 6 years old), and I play the game in fullscreen at I guess you'd call it medium settings.

(EDIT) Forgot to add, these started happening only in battle, soon moved to happening at random times anywhere: standing in front of FC house, on island sanctuary, or in map dungeons.
(EDIT 2) I also forgot to mention that it's more severe in pvp, it seems. It is still quite random. I did the new dungeon tonight and had it happen once in the beginning, but then I did the trial after and didn't have it happen. So I have no clue what is causing it.
