Gameplay performance fluctuates due to consistent frame rate drops.
Hi, I've been enjoying Apex Legends and noticed the frame rate often drops from 300 to just 110fps. At first, I thought my PC might struggle with the game's demands. After switching to League of Legends, the issue persisted—my games also crash to around 35fps. These dips usually last a few seconds. I'm using four monitors and have checked my system via hwinfo. My CPU runs at about 4.5-4.8GHz, temps sit between 68-72°C, and the GPU stays under 75°C with afterburner active. Have anyone seen similar problems? My specs look solid: Ryzen 9 5950X, 64GB DDR4, 3200MHz, Gigabyte Vision DP B550, F16e BIOS, Artic Freezer cooler, Zotac 3080 Ti SSD, Corsair RMI 750W, Windows 11.
These dips occur when using a single monitor with other settings turned off. They can also appear during intense gameplay moments, especially in heavy battles. You might have tried adjusting lower settings for RTX on and off to see if your GPU switches between performance and power-saving modes. Your temperatures are just one aspect; core clocks may drop to keep temps stable, causing the dips as the system slows down and speeds up.
I haven't tested it on a single monitor yet, but it worked before so I didn't expect a problem. Triple A titles appear to be unaffected only for esports games. I've played Cyberpunk at maximum settings with ray tracing enabled and noticed no FPS drop. Yes, my CPU and GPU speeds are up and turboing properly.
If the sole shared element is esport titles, it mainly depends on identifying the core similarities. Are they employing identical anti-cheat systems? Do they rely on different game engines? Do their actions remain consistent even with varying graphics settings? Was there a period when this setup lacked such uniformity? How have things evolved since then?
I don't think they employ the identical anti-cheat system. Regardless of graphics settings, issues can still occur. It occurred roughly three months ago, and I didn't investigate the cause at first. Perhaps a fresh Windows installation would help determine if it's resolved.
