HELP PLEASE OMG I HATE THIS

[SK9888888888]

The recent big update for Caldera did something wrong to my graphic settings in Warzone. I used to cap the fps at 150 and I could get them easily but rn when I start the game and hop into a match the fps goes from 20 to 150 randomly throughtout the game. I have set everything on low and turned off useless stuff like streaming textures etc, I got fullscreen mode, everything as usual. I've already maxed the performance on the gpu settings and updated everything I can. The game used to run my gpu as hot as 69/70°C, but rn I think the game uses more CPU cause the temperature of the GPU is at 62/61°. The adv file in the documents folder I've got it's like this:

// generated by Infinity Ward
version = 1
VideoMemoryScale = 0.85
RendererWorkerCount = 9
ConfigCloudStorageEnabled = 1

If I change the renderworkercount or the memoryscale to whatever it doesn't affect much. The fps drop still remains. I've also tried to reinstall the whole game fresh but nothing changed. I know that the game is completely trash in optimization and that's why is the only one that gives me this type of problems. Do you know how to fix it?
This is my setup:

RTX 3070
i9-10850K
16GB RAM
3TB HHD
1TB SSD

I tried everything I saw on the web to fix this, please come up with something

idk

The updates have an annoying habit of turning RTX on and that tanks your performance, check that hasn't happened for your system.

How can I do that?

 

[KeyboardDemon]

Check in your graphics settings, as you scroll down check to see if Ray Tracing or RTX is set to Enabled, if it is set it to disabled.

 

[SK9888888888]

It's disabled, anything else that can help me?

 

[freakdaddy64]

is that per game or is there a ray or rtx setting in nvidia control panel also.

I think it is from the game, not all games support nVidia Ray Tracing, so it would have to be set through the game.

It might be a good idea to check you have the latest drivers for your GPU, motherboard, and CPU

@SK9888888888 When you say you have tried everything you saw on the web, what have you tried so far? That way we won't start giving you suggestions that you might have tried already.

How would you rate your technical skills, score it between 1-10 with 10 being a PC Building Guru and 1 being I need help opening the box?

You talked about temperatures in your first post so I'm confident that you're at least a 4, a 6 would know how to check if they need driver updates and where to get them from.

I'm quite good at it yeah, I can say like a good 8. I've tried changing a lot of settings mainly in the game first then I've tried following fps boost guides but I've already done everything(modifying settings in the nvidia control panel, boosting pc performace such as putting powerplan on high etc..) But still, it's the only game that gives me this fps drops. I think that the game launches in windowed mode and even if it's on fullscreen I think that it thinks that it's on windowed for some kind of bug idk. Unless it's a gpu problem but I doubt that. I've already updated every driver on my pc, also windows. The main thing that I've noticed is that even if I put all of my settings on low, disabling everything like dlss etc, it doesn't improve. If I put like all the settings on low, and unlimited fps(without capping them) it seems a bit better but the drop still continue in game. The only thing that really affects the game graphics is the adv option file. I've changed some parameters long time ago to get more of a clean gameplay cause I was having some micro stutters ingame. I've also tried to reset the adv file as normal, or even unistalling the full game so I could have the original one back, but nothing changes. This happened to me just right after the last big update of season 1 that introduced Caldera. Before that I was having constantly 150/200 fps without any kind of drop. With maxed performance I could get like 300 fps also but rn it's a completely different story, the whole game is fucked up lol And I didn't even touch the settings so idk what to do

when i started creating the rig i have now i was a 3 but thanks to keyboarddemon im a good 7.

Cool, that's good to know, I don't want to give you answers that are way below your level of knowledge, and I don't want to assume that you know how to do something, so I will answer based on the assumption that we are at a similar level of technical knowledge.

So first, most people assume that frame rate drops are the result of PC hardware or even software, but overlook issues like network stability, just because they have fast download speeds they will have a great gaming ready internet service, but that's not always the case. Other factors like distance to their nearest server can have an impact too.

Internet connection tests, such as speedtest.net can help you see how fast your download, upload, and ping rates are, they will also identify high jitter values too, some high-speed broadband services have also been known to have extremely high ping rates, high jitter or worse, both, none of which are good for a great gaming experience. On a PC, these can show as reduced frame rates, increased input latency, stuttering or rubber-banding. Keep an eye out for network issues being reported while you play, they will usually come up as icons that flash on the left-hand side of the screen as you play and have colour codes to indicate the severity of the issue. Fixes for these might be as easy as opening ports on your firewall or as complex as getting your ISP to run line checks on your internet connection.

Hardware issues could be an issue with inadequate hardware, which doesn't apply in your case, bad drivers, which might be fixable with the latest driver version or fixed with a driver cleanup using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller).

Extreme temperatures in CPU or GPU can lead to throttling which means lower performance until temperatures are under control, these could be caused by poor airflow, inadequate cooling or an improperly fitted cooler.

CoD runs a lot better for me on an SSD than it did when I had it installed on my HDD, and it runs better on my NVME SSD than it did on my Sata SSD, so if you have it installed on your 3TB HDD move it to your SSD.

Hopefully something in that list helps you, let me know if they do or don't, or if something I have said triggers you into taking action that does help, but either way, let us all know.

It might be something network related cause when I get into a game in the first video of the helicopters I get like 105ms then in game I get 10/20ms average. I usually play the games without any input latency or lag whatsoever so it might not be like you said. I could reinstall the game on the SSD as you said but I really think it's some kind of bug. I'll try also to keep monitoring the CPU/GPU temp, but I really doubt that it's the cause of it. I'll let you know what I've done

You don't have to reinstall, if you locate your game files using the Properties menu in Battlenet, you can copy the entire folder from there to your SSD, then use the option in Battlenet to locate game files, pick the location you copied them to and Battlenet will take care of the rest, just like this:

You're right! Imma do it right now! thanks
