Framerate Issues Since Dawntrail Launch

[Cindertail]

I am having horrific framerate issues during cutscenes and dungeons. Certain cutscenes are immensely lagging, meanwhile certain dungeon boss effects eat at my framerate for a few seconds. I am playing on a laptop, with custom settings (everything set to low), but during the Benchmark Tool I was running the Benchmark at Laptop (High) settings with no issues. I have disabled Nvidia GForce Experience completely, even turned it back on, just to turn it back off. I am playing in Full Screen now, was previously playing in Borderless Windowed but the issue still persists. Is there anything I can do at all to fix my performance? I cannot find anyone else having my issues. My specs are:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
Disc 0 (D: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500 GBs (my game is on this)
System Model: G5 5590
Memory: 16384MB RAM

I have been having this exact same problem since DT released. If you find a solution, please share. Nothing I have tried has worked.

Same, the first day was still okayish but the framerate drops are getting worse and worse now. To the extend I'm scared to que for anything because I won't be able to play with this problem.

Pre patch I had zero framerate issues. Many people have been vocal about this, so I'm kinda sure it's game related and has nothing to do with my hardware...

I just wanted to write and say that I have not found any solutions to my problem still. My graphics card and OS meet the requirements to run Dawntrail just fine. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one being affected by this. I haven't seen this talked about elsewhere on the Forum.

The issue on my end persists in Dawntrail-related dungeons, cutscenes, at times the overworld too. It happened once during The Bowl of Embers (Hard) during Ifrit's Hellfire attack. This Trial has never caused me issues before until 7.0's release. I see noticable framerate drops/hitching during excessive particle effects from boss attacks, or sometimes just randomly during combat.

I have done everything I possibly can to try and remedy this issue to no avail. I really hope Square Enix addresses this issue, it's ruining my experience of playing overall.

My particular model of laptop does not support DLSS or enable/disable Gsync. But yes, I have configured this game through the Nvidia Control Panel, GeForce Experience, and within the game itself. I have even set this game to High Performance through Windows' Display Graphics Settings, and configured my external monitor's display so it uses my Nvidia Graphics Card and so the game runs on it instead of my laptop itself. I have done everything I possibly can to try and make Dawntrail run smoothly. There are periods of time where my game runs perfectly fine, but there are certain cutscenes during MSQ that lagged/hitched terribly and Dawntrail-specific dungeons prove to be unplayable unless I set 3D Resolution Scaling to 50 (lowest).

FPS drops from 144 to 120 every 2 minutes causing a stuttering. Doesn't matter if i'm in a random place alone, dungeon or in a city.

Similar issue here. Fps drops by around 10 at random times which wouldn't be the end of the world, but the game micro-freezes for a split of a second twice in a row no matter the settings I choose. Happens anywhere, but in dungeons it's the worst.

Same issue. Checked the task manager and it seems GPU drops every time when ethernet receive something from the server that cause my game to stop for 1 sec. No matter what I changes in game it still drop half and causing the frame rate to drop horribly. I've tried everything like disable the gamepad and update driver that said to be useful but still problem still exists. Not having any issue on other games with network connection. No conflict with any software that I am able to turned off.

More or less the same issue here. Every couple minutes, my frames will hit 0 for about half a second and then back to solid 144fps. My GPU usage will go down when it happens, and it can happen anywhere. I can go 20 minutes without it happening, and then sometimes I'll only go a couple minutes in between occurrences. I do see my Network use spiking around the time of the dip as well.

I'm having intermittent stuttering also. I tried rolling back drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers via DDU. It just stutters every 5-10 seconds, even during the FMV sequence before the loading screen. One thing I noticed was the GPU wattage would drop whenever it stuttered so I thought it was a hardware issue. I ran 3dmark and the Dawntrail benchmark to see if the wattage was dropping and it never did and never once stuttered there. I am running on a laptop but my CPU/GPU has never once exceeded 70C on both under load running Dawntrail.
