LethalThreat Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 For some reason in the past few days my FPS has been dipping to only 15 FPS for 30 seconds to a minute. I've tried everything I can think of so need some fresh eyes. Typically I've been able to run 60 FPS with mods and with few performance fixes, but as said within the past few days it randomly dips to 15 now. It dips randomly after ~30 minutes or so, and seems to dip around that interval. Did a total uninstall of Fallout 4, and am back to a total unmodded state, - still the same issue and the same interval. Update drivers and did what optimization I could on my PC, but still nothing. Thoughts or suggestions? I'm open to everything. One thing that caught my eye is when I updated my drivers via the GeForce Experience is more-or-less when the FPS dips began - but not entirely sure.

HeyYou Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Did windows do an update? Check Task Scheduler, and see if there is something scheduled to run every 30 minutes. Could also roll back your vid drivers a version or two. Latest and greatest isn't always bestest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWolf01 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Heyas LT! If you've got a gaming video card, the software for it should include a diagnostics. Run that, and see if there's anything going on with your card. From the sounds of it, you may have a heating problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LethalThreat Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Got it sorted! Turns out when I updated my drivers it auto-turned on some sort of "battery-saving/optimized" option which reduced performance immensely. Jeez. Thanks again guys, that helped me narrow the search and got it sorted. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
