I am new to the PC world - so forgive me as I am going to ramble and I might be over the place.
I recently purchased a prebuilt PC from Costco - Dell XPS 8940 (3060ti, 32 GB RAM, i7-11700) and I have been having some crazy issues with gameplay.
For starters - when playing WoW I had to change my Graphics API from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11 because my FPS was dropping to 10... that fixed it and now it's running fine. Took me two hours through boards to find out.
Now, I am having the same issue with Warzone.. Except there isn't a Graphics API option to change. When I am in the pre-menu I get a steady FPS, but it's once I enter the lobby or go to play a match I get only 10 FPS.
My loophole/temp fix: I have to turn off VSync and set a custom frame rate. Then I make everything 30, which then gives me a 30FPS locked in lobby and in game.
My monitor is a 240Hz curved Samsung - display settings are set to 240Hz. I do have another monitor, but that shouldn't impede, right? I've gone in the Nvidia Control Panel and made the recommended changes. I've changed Warzone to run "High Performance". There is no XMP in BIOS settings - looked into that. Went into Registry Editor and changed the inputs to "0". Updated the drivers.
I am seriously lost.
Anyone been through this or have any other tips?
