Thread: Really bad FPS drop

For some reason today, after 5pm (JST) the game’s FPS suddenly dropped to 3~10 FPS. I have tried

1) Restarting the game
2) Restarting my pc and monitor
3) Turning off Nvidia Vsync then restarting my computer
4) Adjusting the graphics settings
5) Having my PC shut off for a hour
6) Adjusted my FPS settings in game (currently have it at none)

But none of those fixed the issue. The FPS drop has only been happening in FFXIV as well, I have tried opening a few other games like Limbus Company, Ys IX Monstrum Nox, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and Code Vein, none of those games had FPS drops. I really don’t know what else I can do. None of this had ever happened until now.

its the game

or not the computer do not restart it

restart the game and turn off DSR instead
