Hey all, so i recently purchased a 3080 was super stoked after upgrading from my 1080. Only thing is I am having extreme fps drops once i get into dungeons and raids. For example I did a mechagon junkyard run this morning and couldnt get over 55 fps with setting slider set to 7. Guildie of mine told me to uninstall drivers using DDU and reinstall drivers using clean install. After doing so my fps has been great but once I get into a dungeon/raid my fps drops to 40-70 range. Going up the stairs in upper kara was running about 50fps.
run a dxdiag following these instructions. Post to pastebin and then post just the letters at the end of the link (if you can’t post links). https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/12988
There’s a number of crashes reported with OriginWebHelperService.exe. That’s something to consider uninstalling.
There’s also something at the end complaining about telnet.exe missing. Not sure what would be trying to utilize that. A quick Google search leans towards a suspicious TiWorker.exe. Might be worth some anti-virus/anti-malware scans to clear that up.
Also, if you have any overlays (Xbox/Windows Gaming [built into Windows], Discord, etc.) enabled, shut those off.
maybe try a UI reset? try re-naming your cache, wtf, and interface folders to cacheold, wtfold, interfaceold, and letting the game build new ones, and test it with no addons to see what happens. If it doesn’t fix it, then you can delete the new folders and re-name the old ones back to restore your UI. If it does fix it, then re-install your addons fresh.
Have you tried making sure the video card is firmly seated? I know it’s silly, but recently I had a stupid issue after removing my card to clean it. For whatever reason, I didn’t press down firmly enough and get a solid connection into the pci e slot. Thus, it was running at 1x and giving me horrible frame rates.
