Low Frames Rates with 3.010b - SOLVED

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

I have seen others post about this issue in the main v3.010 announcement thread.  I thought I would create a central spot to share thoughts. 

 

Thru the v3.010 update I was using a GTX 1070.  I have a 32" 1440 monitor.  My settings were on Ultra and all the settings on the highest.  I had very smooth play with good frame rates.  Yes, being on the ground on certain maps or clouds would bring fps down but once in the air the game was always flyable.  I was using the the latest driver (417.71) with my 1070 at that time with v3.010.

 

The day after v3.010 arrived I installed an RTX 2080Ti.  I did a clean wipe of the nVidia drivers and reinstalled 417.71.  My fps improved significantly in the game even on the ground or in heavy clouds.  It was wonderful.  v3.010a came out and I don't remember any issues.  Last Thursday when v3.010b came out I updated the game but didn't get to use it as I went away until yesterday.  Upon returning I tried things out and it is horrible.  Frame rates are in the toilet.  In a dogfight over water at 3000m frames dropped to 26.  I am getting hesitations and the game is no longer smooth.  It is much worse than the previous versions with my 1070 and at this time it is unplayable.

 

I do use Reshade for a limited number of items but turning it off had no effect. 

 

Thoughts?

Hi,

 

Although not as fortunate as you with you RTX 2080TI (see my specs) I do have a very good performance and no, absolutely no stutter.

I fly on ULTRA preset, but no HDR/SSOA nor do I use Reshade anymore since Update 3.009. So here are some point to check:

 

- Actual NVidia drivers: 418.81 - install the newest drivers because there are some modification that might concern your card.

- Get rid of Reshade by uninstalling it, just turning off effects does not mean Reshade is not running in the background.

 

Hope to give you some help.

Updated the driver to 481.91 and all is good again.  Thanks for your help.
