Extreme frame rate reductions in PUBG
Extreme frame rate reductions in PUBG
When playing in-game smokes are making my computer slow down to just 1-2 frames per second. I've noticed this only happens when checking my wattage for the 3080ti, but the drops appear only when I exceed 330W. Most of the time it stays below that, though it gradually increases when I look around or move in smoke, reaching above 330W. The game freezes but doesn't crash. I have a laptop and play PUBG on it, but I've never experienced this issue before.
Disconnect from internet
Remove the GPU driver via DDU (clean up carefully without restarting).
Uninstall all processors—make sure to remove 16 of them if required, and when prompted, select no during the restart process. On device manager, proceed accordingly.
follow this step by step in order (read till end):
Disconnect from internet
Uninstall gpu driver using DDU (clean and do not restart).
Uninstall all the processors (is a must, should be 16 on yours, also when it asks for restart, click on no and keep uninstalling all processors) on device manager like this:
Uninstall AMD Chipset Software in control panel (if there is none, skip it.)
restart the pc to bios, disable AMD fTPM and secure boot if it was turned on by default, save and exit, go to bios again, flash to the
latest bios
, then after updating bios go to bios again, then load default or optimized settings, disable CSM, enable Above 4G Decoding and Resizable bar option if you want to (these 2 options wont be available unless CSM is disabled), then save and exit.
boot up to windows and install the latest
Chipset driver
(should be ver 4.03.xx), then reboot. Look up in Control Panel Uninstall a Program, find AMD Chipset Software, if its already version 4.03.03, then you're good to go.
Install the latest nvidia driver, and then connect to internet.
*do this all offline until reboot after installing chipset driver, also you may reboot to bios after all of this to set the XMP (and previous settings you did). If ram is 2 sticks only, put it on slot A2 and B2 (2 and 4).
Download needed files (highlighted word) before doing step 1
, do the step in orders.
Run cmd as admin, then do chkdsk /x /f /r, after that do sfc /scannow.
And check windows update if there is any and install them (except optional update). Don't forget to turn on
Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (Nvidia GPUs only)
in graphics settings and reboot.
Make sure the psu connected to the gpu is 1 pcie cable per 1 slot (use main cable, not the branches/split) like this:
Currently, there are choices for AMD ftpm switch and TPM state, but should both be turned off?
Thanks a lot for the assistance, everything is functioning well now. There were a few minor hiccups earlier, like the system crashing, but I suspect the CPU clock speed was set too high at 4.4 GHz and I lowered it to 4. It hasn't crashed yet. Also, there have been no problems with the smokes.
Yes, you followed everything in the right order. Once completed, make sure the GPUZ Resizable Bar, above 4G Decoding, and Hardware Acceleration Graphic Scheduling are all active. For the CPU, look for the PBO option and enable it (or advanced mode) instead of lowering the clock speed. You might also consider enabling SR-IOV in the PCIe subsystem settings and IOMMU on AMD CBS options.
So PBO is actually what clocked at the 4.4 and caused it to keep crashing. I now have PBO, but I mentioned it was set to 4.0 and there hasn't been a problem yet. Or maybe it was my XMP profile. I had it at 4.250 the last time. Either way, the stock on this was 3.6, I think.
