Fixed low frame rates following a computer restart.
Fixed low frame rates following a computer restart.
Lately, my computer experienced frustrating frame rate drops while playing games, leading me to choose a full system reset. The reset process was successful, and I reinstalled several of my applications while also implementing a long-established gaming PC optimization strategy. However, upon launching Black Desert Online, my frames plummeted from a consistent 290-330fps range to approximately 90fps. I’ve attempted troubleshooting by updating my graphics drivers, adjusting in-game and NVIDIA Control Panel Vsync settings, and utilizing the profile inspector to eliminate all graphical options, yet my frame rate remains stubbornly low, typically between 70 and 90 regardless of reduced settings. I'm seeking assistance as I’m unsure how to restore my original frame rates. My system specifications are: an Intel i7-7700, a GTX 1060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a 500GB solid-state drive.
Activate the “fast sync” setting within your NVIDIA control panel. It’s claimed to function similarly to AMD Enhanced Sync, although it appears more closely resemble triple buffering. It could still prove effective.
I believe 90 frames per second is perfectly adequate; anything beyond 60 fps is sufficient. Have I eliminated all instances of stuttering? If so, that's excellent.
Within this specific game, achieving a higher frame rate provides a notable benefit, particularly when paired with a display boasting a high refresh rate. Maintaining an FPS lower than my monitor’s refresh rate results in a noticeably inferior visual experience, and it doesn't appear smooth.
