RTX 2080 FPS issues

[Waynelu127]

I have an EVGA Rtx 2080, and i7-9700k CPU. I'd expect that the RTX 2080 could run BF1 at at least a stable 144fps at 1080p on ultra, however my card seems to be having issues. I've hard the card for around 8 months now, and I reinstalled BF1 to see how it ran. I get 144fps, but it's awful and not consistent at all. The fps drops, and I get lag spikes every few seconds. With a $800 card I'd expect more, especially since my old PC (RX580) ran it better. Does anyone have any tips, or things I can try to do?

Disable Fast Startup (wont affect your boot speed) in Windows 10 and restart the PC (its very important otherwise it will not work).

Solves this kind of issues most of the time. (at least for me)

Thank you. It helped a little, but it still isn't smooth. Occasionally there will be drops, and lag. Anything else I can do?

Have you overclocked yet? ensure there's no excessive multi-tasking going on and maybe like don't a small graphical tweak? say don't use AA at all but everything else still max out... rendering natively still is a good feat.

 

Making sure you have the full performance powerplant is good, have you validate your hardware keeps it's clocks and temps in check? utilization high?

I will do a test later in a little bit. I got this info from CAM. Does it look okay?

Besides the general stuff like turning off all the crap in W10 (game mode, game bar, game dvr). 

Also make sure you run the game in FullScreen and not Windowed/Borderless mode. 

 

If you have multiple monitors, try to have nothing on the other screens when you play (just to see if there's something that may interfere).

You can always load up System Restore

if you remember when it started happening you can type "restore" into the start button, click create a restore point.

click System Restore on the next Screen you should have some dates and any software changes, like driver updates, windows updates see if you can narrow down did something change when the problem started.

If you remember when it started and something changed in that list its probably that. If nothing changed then its probably degradation.

I would try dropping back your overclock a bit on your GPU for Core and Memory, RTX seems to suffer degradation reports have said it could be simply that.

 

Could have been a driver update, nvidia drivers are always a mixed bag when your update, i try do mine only once or twice a year.

I usually look at the nvidia patch notes and see if a new game i am playing is in there, then ill update my nvidia drivers for a new game.

There is no need to update drivers regularly its only to support new games, the exception to that is right after an new card launch they never get things right till a good 6 months after a new series is out. but you are well out of those woods now.

 

I've ran this a few times when you roll back though stuff you've done on your computer will roll back so you have to be careful doing that too far back.

also the more you go back there is a chance that it might boot loop, i've only ran into this once on about 30 restores over the years, but its still a thing.

 

It can at least be a quick thing to do, my gaming system is not my primary system and i keep all my files in the cloud so no problem for me if a rollback fails.

This is my first time playing BF1 on this system, well I've played it in the past but I can't recall if I had any issues. If changing settings doesn't really help, would it most likely mean my card is degrading? I spent so much money on this card, and it would be a shame if it couldn't even last a year... 

 

Also about the OC part. I haven't OC my card before. Does the screen shots show I did?
