Hello, when I first played FH4 and I had my settings automatically adjusted by the game it ran fine, I don’t recall about how much CPU usage was going on during the game but my GPU usage was about 65%. Now, nothing has changed, but my CPU usage is about 60%-80% and I’ve seen it hit 100% and my GPU is also at 100%. I have no idea what has caused these sudden performance drops. Here’s where it gets really weird: Even when I put my graphics settings on the lowest of the low, the numbers don’t change and they’re just as high. I was wondering if anyone else was encountering this issue or if it could be a bug with the game or even a driver issue. I’ve been going through multiple drivers (new ones) to see if it affected anything. (The new NVIDIA drivers already have enough problems themselves.)
I have weird performance issues too. It’s very hard to explain because it’s completely random. It seems that the global performance is decided at game lauch.
When everything is fine, the game starts and run at constant 60 FPS, MSAA 2x, VSync on, FXAA . The game can run during hours and keeps a solid 60 FPS, with 75%-100% GPU usage.
Sometimes I start the game and it’s stuck at 30 FPS, 100% GPU usage. It will stay at 30 FPS whatever happens. Other times I start the game and it’s stuck at 25 FPS. On rare occasions I had constant 45 FPS.
When this happens, I have to close the game and restart it, and cross the fingers to have it run at 60 FPS. Sometimes I have to restart the game 5 times until I get 60 FPS.
You can see when the game is loading (after the title screen) that the small rotating circle on the right corner is always at 60 FPS. Then this circle slows down a little bit just before you enter the welcome screen. It’s the exact moment where the game keeps 60 FPS or enter the 30FPS ou 25 FPS mode.
I have made a lot of tests, with computer restarts and checking the running process … I keep having problems.
Forza Motorsport 7 runs always fine in its last versions, constant 60 FPS. FH3 didnt have this issues, but had poorer general performance. My other games (non UWP) run fine.
