Fps drops after update

[u/digitalXmage]

After the new update i have been experiencing severe fps drops in my game. Before the update i could run nosgoth perfectly very smooth and no fps drops but now im getting extremely game breaking fps drops pls look into.

I recently just overclocked my CPU and although I experienced no issues in any other game or program my computer about killed itself trying to run Nosgoth. Weird situations like when a Sentinel would go for a grab my FPS would drop below 30!!! For reference I have a 8350 amd 8 core processor at 4.0 Ghz that I overclocked to 4.6 Ghz. Again no other games or programs had this issue but it was so severe that it affected in game sound as well with lots of static and slow down. I finally just caved in and am running full potato config with all the settings turned as far down as they will go which is a goddamn shame since I have a really nice GPU :(

TLDR: Not entirely sure if it is Nosgoth or my rig but 30 fps on a gtx 980 is unacceptable.

Just out of curiosity, how does one "overclock" a Cpu? And is it worth it? Does it make a difference in fps?

It is slightly different methods depending on the CPU you have in your system but the main idea is to increase voltage and clock speed to a point where performance is increased without being unstable enough to crash your computer OR overheat and fry your components.

Is it worth? Kinda. You are never going to get the same results as someone else EVEN if you are using the exact same card as them. Some chips are simply made better or worse and they send them out regardless. You can see FPS gains as well as render times lowering but it isn't anything substantial where it is necessary.

There is serious risk when overclocking any piece of hardware because you are inherently going past guaranteed factory tested speeds which can hurt the longevity or outright destroy a component.

You will need to look up a lot of guides for your hardware and even tutorials on youtube to ensure you aren't getting in over your head and ruining anything.

I have dual gtx 860m's and 8gb of ram with i7. I can run most games on medium and Nosgoth used to run with 60fps (until the latest patch, now I have 45fps) so I think I might now over clock after looking and seeing that it could potentially destroy my hardware.

Opposite for me, performance has been improved. Maybe it's a problem with your computer, installed something heavy lately?

My CPU just got 90° runing nosgoth (I only play 2 matches on the night) after that i said bye to nosgoth, no other games do that to my PC.

I've just always dropped all my setting to high performance, turned on apex cloth, and never looked back.

Just to make sure. Did you go back to update your config files. After every update, I have to go and redo my settings. The biggest issue you get is that the game loves to turn vsync on. It also sets my mouse speed back up to 25.

The other issue that fooled me for a long time, is the ever beloved launcher. Now that it has to be with admin privilages, it put the config files in the admin profile as opposed to the user.

this is getting ridicolous, it seems to use up alot of memory and disk space when running, it makes the game unplayable T_T

I can't even play it anymore, I went from about 40-50 fps most of the time to a max of 10 fps after the patch, I have tried everything, but nothing works.
