Title: Major FPS drop with R53
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? no
Details: I have now plaid enough with this release to be certain that with my specs, my FPS in combat situations is significantly lower than it used to be. I have noticed this in several scenes, at least forest sieges, Lost Vale and Superstition Canyon. When playing alone in forest sieges/lost vale I used to be steadily above 60, usually 80-100, but I am now dropping to 50s and occasionally even 40s. (In superstition I even saw FPS drop down to ~25, which is unplayableto me)

This is happening to me even though none of my PCs resources use (RAM, CPU, GPU, disk read/write) is above 60%.

Steps to Reproduce:
User Specs:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz (8) System RAM: 32698
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU RAM: 8086

Area: POT_forest_metropolis_01_template/Novia Market
Area Display Name: Novia Market
Loc: (71.4, 38.0, 234.5)

I agree on this bug report, I am also having issues with performance.

 

@Chris Yes I am. Just did a test run in a forest siege and I'm hovering around exactly the numbers I stated. Mid-combat mostly 50s, sometimes 60+. And once dropped to the 40s.

Superstition is definitely the worst. But I'm still seeing a noticeable change in sieges as well, which used to be steadily above 70.

I know I'm being a big snob about this, but it's only because all of the awesome performance progress you guys have been making that I got used to never noticing any changes in performance and now I do again. Temporarily I assume

 

Im experiencing the same issue. My fps has been great for several releases but im experiencing the hitching that i used to have from months ago.

 

I've noticed the hitching in zones with no elementals (Nightshade Pass).

 

You're forgetting Xavara the Fire Pillar (for the fire elemental summon quest).

PS - I noticed sluggish performance there last night also.

 

You're right. I was no where near her but true, she was in that zone. Forgot about ole' Xavara.

 

Dunno what happened with this latest update, but I went from around 30+ fps and playable to pretty much a slideshow with barely any input response even for menus loading on even the overworld.

edit: Nix this seemed to be a driver issue that I fixed.
