Loosing frames in games....

I've been loosing a lot of frames in Watch Dogs; i was getting 45-60 FPS during driving, and now i only get around 19-45 FPS.

 

It is the same settings i have been playing with, as i have memorized them, because it took me awhile to optimize it.

 

The same has happened to war thunder...

 

Could this be due to heat?

That's the game.

Even though it ran normal just a couple days ago?

Then tighten them up.

 

Hah!

 

But yes. As well as that, some games may update or patch and end up taking more VRAM, which can cause serious stuttering if you top it out.

 

First, if you're overclocked, try stopping it. Then, try turning off Anti-Aliasing in the games.

 

Of course, use something like GPU-Z to monitor your GPU as you play games, and when games drop frames or stutter, shoot your little eyeballs to GPU-Z ASAP to see what was different as it goofed.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

I shouldn't have to take any settings down though..... I literally have been running it from launch just fine, at 45-60, but now is around 19-45; that's a big difference man.

 

 

I'm not looking for "turn your settings down" answer, because that's what's not needed; i need to find out how to tell if it my hardware, and what piece is bad.

mind telling us more about your system specs?

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Things change, and not always for the better. Now, play your games as you always do, and monitor it with GPU-Z. When it stutters or drops major frames, look at GPU-Z to see what was different while the game was stuttering. If it was VRAM peaking, turn down anti-aliasing and maybe a couple settings. If heat was consistently high, turn down your overclock, and if you're not OC'd, then turn down anti-aliasing and maybe a couple settings.

 

If you want to fix things, and maybe learn, experiment a bit. Maybe take some feedback. The answer you "don't want" or "aren't looking for" is selective, and will get you nowhere.

Watch Dogs is a graphic broken game. Nvidea / AMD need to get a good driver for this game. Watch Dogs needs a patch.

I like monitoring suggestion, but the "turn down you settings" comment is quite dumb tbh.....

Everyone else with this card, and specs (even lower ones) are getting more FPS than i am, but yet we have the same computer, or theirs are worse, so how in the world could that possibly correlate with that problem?

 

I was running it fine a few days ago with everything i liked; they can't make the game look better to the point where i have to disable aa on a 660ti PE

 

So Ubisoft is going to patch the game to make it harder to run; make it so i can't run AA when i previously was earlier.

 

I can experiment with the settings all day, but that's not explaining my loss of frames. 

 

I'm not OC'ed either.

 

Only a factory OC

They're not going to patch it specifically to make it run worse.

 

Freakin' do what i said lol...Monitor it.

 

IF AND WHEN YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MAKE YOUR FRAMES STUTTER OR DROP, TURN DOWN SOME SETTINGS TO SEE IF THAT FIXES THE ISSUE.

 

If it does not fix the issue, then you may have a heat issue. That is when you *gasp* look at the temperatures and correlate it with frame stuttering!

 

If heat isn't an issue, re-install drivers! Then test again!

 

If there's still a prevailing issue, there's something else up and you consult a professional or refer to other people who have the same issue and have fixed it!

 

My suggestion is not "dumb". Refusing to try to fix things from a suggestion based on a question you asked is "dumb".

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet.
