Maybe you got lucky and got a golden sample.


It's not limited to Warframe too, ppl are crashing on all sorts of games and applications.

If i'm not mistaken, its mostly people who let the bios "optimize" the OC settings for the CPU. Mine has been set to "follow intel's voltage stock settings" or whatever that option is called. Basically my BIO's is set to not OC the CPU on its own. It's set to 100% intel standards.

The only thing that I have turned on is my memory XMP profile. But even this isn't that egregious. It's 6000mhz ram.

The people with issues are the ones using like 8000mhz ram and letting the motherboard auto OC the CPU as far as I know motherboards add a ton of extra voltage if you allow them to do it and cause many instability issues. I'm not an expert at this but that's my understanding of it.

Sorry, but no. The problem is, Raptor Lake based CPUs degrade very fast over time. They can run fine for months and then they start to crash. And the degradation was also observed even if those CPUs were used in server motherboards. And server motherboards are not overclocked or drive the CPUs with insane power settings. Steve from Gamers Nexus meant in a recent video, that they got some informations what the reason for the degradation is. But they try to prove it first.

Question to everyone who has issues. Are you on Windows/PC version or the Steam version of the game?

[Nalfgardia]

Windows 11 / pc version

[Thom-Karnel]

Steam version

The latest nvidia drivers that came out today "seem" to fix the problem. I only have 30 minutes of data to work with, but the stuttering is completely gone and my gpu usage is down from 90%+ to only 60%

Edit: It's better, but not fixed.

just fyi, I started running my PC version in Borderless Window mode and for some reason it's alleviated a *lot* of the fps issues I was personally having. I still have a number of other adjustments I made in effect and everything turned down so I don't know how much of that is also making a difference, but switching to Borderless Window seemed to be the most definitive thing in stopping the stop frame slowdown I was getting, especially in crowded areas and during certain boss attacks.

I'm not guaranteeing that it's a permanent fix or that it'll fix it for everyone (I'm starting to suspect it really is partially an optimization issue on their end that affects various PC setups differently, but thats just a theory.) and I plan to slowly readjust things to see if I can crawl up the visuals a bit again, but yeah borderless window mode. I don't know why, but it made a huge difference.

updated with new nvidia drivers... still not fixed. Sigh. I paid for the subscription and still cant play the game properly. My bf has a slightly worse pc than mine and he plays at 60fps with no issues and high graphic settings. :|

Nvidia driver update did not fix my problem, either.

What about multiple monitor setups? Are you guys using more than 1 display and are those displays at different refresh rates?

Is scaling in the Nvidia control panel turned on set to monitor or GPU? Might be worth trying scaling on the GPU.

I found the issue I had with Borderless Windowed mode, which had a stutter after the update.

I had to disable the Windows 11 setting "Optimizations for Windowed games" which is found:

<System>
<Settings>
<Display>
<Graphics>
<Change default graphics settings >
-Optimizations for Windowed games- (Turn it Off)

Turning it off fixed the issue of the game being 2 to 3 FPS (or Hz) less than what I selected in the refresh rate / frame rate game options, this affected no limit as well, once turned off every option works perfect as it should.
