Performance Issues

[MiamiOverlord]

Having sudden, unexplained performance issues after booting the game up post-reset today. I was playing early this morning as usual, and then started the game just recently to find a constant low frame-rate no matter how many times I restart. No settings have changed between this morning and now. Nothing has changed to explain this sudden FPS drop when previously the game operated completely fine.

My GeForce Control Panel settings have Destiny 2 defaulting to running on my GeForce card, so it's not an issue with it swapping to the lower graphics card. The rest of the GeForce settings are as follows:

Image Sharpening - Off
Anisotropic Filtering - Application Controlled
Antialiasing (FXAA) - Off
Antialiasing (Gamma Correction) - On
Antialiasing (Mode) - Application Controlled
Antialiasing (Transparency) - Off
CUDA, GPUs - All
Max Frame Rate - Off
Max Q Dynamic Boost - On
Multiframe Sampled AA (MFAA) - Off
OpenGL rendering GPU - AutoSelect
Power Management Mode - Adaptive
Shader Cache - On
Texture Filtering (Anisotropic Sample Optimization) - Off
Texture Filtering (Negative LOD Bias) - Allow
Texture Filtering (Quality) - Quality
Texture Filtering (Trilinear Optimization) - On
Threaded Optimization - Auto
Triple Buffering - Off
VSync - On

As mentioned before, these are my NVIDIA settings from BEFORE AND AFTER these issues arose. Nothing changed, and yet my FPS is suddenly worse for no explained reason. Here are my specs in case anybody is curious.

Laptop - Zephryus M GU502GV (ROG)
Processor - Intel(R) Core (TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz
Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
Wireless Card - Intel(R) Wireless- AC 9560 160 MHz
Storage - 953 GB, Optane+954GBSSD
Memory - 16GB

BUnGo does not officially support for laptops. So I am afraid they won't care to help you.

You could try and:

- Open Task Manager.
- Right-click Destiny 2
- Set priority to High.

You can also use a program called 'Process Hacker' to save the priority for future uses.

This really helps if you are not able to invest in better hardware.

EDIT: Process Hacker is basically a more-in-depth Task Manager with much more options.

I mean, as far as hardware goes, there is absolutely no reason my laptop should be tanking like this when nothing has changed. I have 300+ hours on Destiny 2 with the aforementioned settings on an RTX 2060, with 60 FPS or above consistently. Temperatures are the same, nothing has changed, but FPS is dropped.

Might be your 2.6 CPU tbh.

Again, has never caused issues previously. I see no reason why the 2.6 CPU would be the cause of the problem when 300+ hours have been played on it with no issue beforehand. This just started like someone flipped an invisible switch.

PROBLEM SOLVED. Thank you all for input regardless.

What was the fix? I am curious to know since I have bad FPS after the move to Steam.

For one reason or another, NVIDIA's 'global settings' were overriding the ones I set for Destiny. Make sure you have your optimization slider set to Performance and make sure to specify Destiny is using your high end card.

Hey, just good to hear you got it to work.
