Framerate Issues Since Dawntrail Launch

[Araxes]

Just dropping an update here since people have been quite critical of my setup, I'm clearly not an IT expert either

I was reading from CPU-Z which seems to give the base DRAM frequency not the effective clock rate in a dual-channel environment. Checking in performance monitor my RAM was at 2400MHz which led me to realize my XMP reverted to disabled, so enabling that bumped that up to 3000MHz which slightly increased FPS in the trouble areas.

Also, I realize my CPU is an older generation, but replacing that isn't as simple as slotting in a new CPU(need new MOBO and probably new RAM) so that's why I have a much higher tier GPU as it's plug-and-play. Incremental upgrades, you know?


tl;dr
Enabling XMP in the BIOS did slightly alleviate the issue (getting 57 FPS at the same area vs 47), so if anyone is having similar issues this might be an avenue to look into.

You could have slapped in a 3090 and still not been able to utilize it fully but you would have saved some good money.

Did you check if your powerplant provides enough juice for everything in your PC? Because replacing a GPU also needs some factors considered. I always make sure i have a good chunk of wiggling room left setting up a system in case i wanna switch stuff out. Replacing Power supplies is usually the worst part.

I had a Friend once coming to me and asking me why his PC would always just crash or rather shut down. When i inspected it i saw that he slapped in a new Graphics card that basically ate his entire Power.

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.

Yep Really Odd Constant Stuttering And Lag And Game Freezes Internet My End Is Fine And My PC Is More Than Powerful Enough To Run The Game

I have the same issue. Before DT I always had 100+ fps with max settings, my fps since the expansion release has been sub 40. Nothing is bottle necked and I have tried so many "fixes". Nothing seems to do anything.

Before the maintenance on July 6, everything was fine (no freezes, smooth graphics, constant 120 fps). After the maintenance, it’s been a disaster... even when the fps is stable, I experience micro-freezes and more significant freezes in the dungeons...

I’ve tried everything I could find on various forums to fix the issue, but without success...

What drives me even crazier is that my wife, who plays right next to me, doesn’t have this problem.

I sincerely hope SE will fix this in the maintenance on the 16th...

Ikr! my sister's all play in the same house and im the only one who been experiencing it the whole time, it's not a net problem but idk what exactly,
it started happening after the Emergency Maintenance before it everything was smooth T^T
if anyone finds a solution please tell me, for now i'm just hoping that it will fix after the maintenance this Tuesday

That sounds like a Windows 11 issue.
