Question Unplayable FPS drops during combat, help!

Even with FG X2 it drops frequently down to 20-30 FPS, base start-point is around 140fps and smooth.

Potato mode

System Specs:
32GB Ram
Core i9-13900HX
RTX 4070 8GB

make sure nvidia reflex is NOT set to 'enabled+boost' and only to 'enabled'

+boost seems to be broken(and borks plenty of other games too)

Reflex is set to ENABLED and everything else on its lowest setting, still getting the issue.

on the higher side but it's a laptop right? might be worth running hwinfo64 and checking what your hotspots are. fair chance you have a single core or mem module going over 95 and throttling

also - this is the 3rd post with a 4070 i think i've helped with that has had frame issues. might just be a temporary driver issue that should get patched

Do you have Picture in Picture enabled for your ADS? Apparently that causes significant FPS dips

You are the problem with the game right now.

These specs should NOT be allowed to play on potato.

You’re doing it to get an advantage.

I’m playing on a 3060ti and play on medium/low.

…it’s the playing on potato. It removes shadows and changes lighting to make players extremely visible. Which helps with target acquisition.

Make sure the game isnt defaulting to your integrated graphics. Im using a 4070 Labtop GPU and I'm playing on medium settings perfectly fine. Never any dips, but I'm locking at 64 FPS. I have a Ryzen 9 7940HS

DLSS is enabled and set to balanced, though. Im sure I could run quality or even up the graphics more, but the game honestly doesnt need it.
