So I’ve had this problem since Saturday (9/15/18 8PM EST) and basically what it does is give me extreme lag spikes. Normally, I can maintain 100 fps consistently and get smooth gameplay, but recently, my fps spikes from 100 to 17 and back up. This essentially freezes up my game for half a second every like 3 seconds.
In drastic cases you may need to reinstall the driver and update to the most recent driver for your card. Remember to use Display Driver Uninstaller to completely clean out your old driver. Then download the most recent NVidia or AMD for your system.
NEW! There has been a trending issue where Google Chrome is causing FPS issues if it is running in the background. Close all Google Chrome appplications in the Windows Task Manager to see if this is the case.
NEW! Some players are reporting that updating their BIOS on their motherboard is resolving their issues.
As WyomingMyst has suggested I would look into updating the BIOS on the motherboard. Been seeing quite a few similar reports also using the AMD FX 4300 processor where this has helped.
I just wiped my drivers with ddu and installed the latest versions from nvidia. I have yet to see if this solved the problem
Edit: it did solve the problem (sort of).
I don’t have crippling fps drops but at the beginning of boots, I do for like 2 minutes. My performance is still not the same though as before
Yea I see a lot of people just throwing that out when something goes wrong. It’s to the same as updating drivers because you can “brick” the whole board
