Low Fps on GTX 1080TI

[SilencerT]

Spec:
GTX 1080TI
I7 8700
32G ram with 3200Mhz
1440p with 144Hz monitor
I have norton 360, Msi Afterburner and Riva Turner on when the game is playing.
I've tried to remove the driver by using DDU, but the fps drops after I reinstall the newest driver, from 50-80 to a stable 40-50, both tested on European dead zone. The game is running on the highest setting with motion blur turned off. I've also tried fullscreen, windowed or V sync, none of them helped. Is there anyway I can fix this? The game is running 120-140 fps on Prey with highest setting(which is the only "big" game I have currently installed).

I'm running almost the exact same build, but with an i7 9700k. That's pretty much what I would expect from a 1080 Ti at 1440p after the lighting update. Even before BL I wouldn't have run D2 at 1440p on a 1080 Ti. It's a fairly old card now.

The first thing you'll want to try is disabling depth of field, chromatic aberration and film grain. That should buy you another 10 FPS or so without degrading visual quality. I actually prefer the way that looks. The image is more crisp. If you still aren't happy with performance, drop it down to 1080p. That should bring you up to 80-140 FPS depending on where you are and what's going on. A bit less if you enable those settings again.

It's also worth noting that EDZ will give you pretty much the lowest frame rates out of all locations because of the foliage. Trostland is a good place to test settings out because it will never drop much lower than whatever you're getting there.

I disabled depth of field, chromatic aberration and film grain, the fps remains the same, and why the fps droped after i reinstall the driver, it doesn't make sense.

If you were getting better performance on the old drivers then just revert. That sounds about right for those specs and settings in the EDZ to me though. Are you sure you weren't just getting 50-80 in other areas?

Although i do get higher fps at other places, but Trostland is where i found out that my fps went under 60, because i was doing lake of shadow. That's why i decided to remove the driver, but before that my fps rarely goes under 60 in Trostland.

I never get over 100 fps except when i'm at orbit.

Yeah, that sounds pretty normal... I get 120-140 FPS in most places but it drops down to 80-90 in places like EDZ. If you get 50-80 FPS in most places, 40-50 in EDZ sounds normal. Honestly, I'd recommend just playing in 1080p. The game will run much better and you'll get more out of the 144hz display.

One thing over all others. Uninstall Norton & just use Windows Defender alongside Malwarebytes

The problem is i tried 1080p but the fps is the same, is it because i'm in borderless window mode?

Is there anything wrong with norton? Cause I paid for 2 years...

Fullscreen generally runs better than any of the windowed modes, but I wouldn't expect a drastic difference. Try 1080p again. That should definitely make a noticeable difference...

Thanks, now I'm seriously think about getting a RTX 3080 when available...

It's a known issue that they say they are investigating. There is a thread on Bungie where you can post your set up etc. A 1080Ti should be able to max this game at 4k.

As far as if they will actually fix it, I still have doubts but they at least acknowledged it. The drop in performance was obviously unintended.

Ah I see, thank you！

turn down AA and film grain which will perk up the game speed

I did, not really making a difference tho.
