Low FPS for no reason

[Demolishine]

Hello everyone,
I've been playing BG3 for over 100 hours without any framerate issues (except during big explosions). Today however, when I started the game right from the start menu, I have been exeperiencing between 7 and 10 FPS fixed and the GPU is fixed at 99-100% without any sense I would say.
To see if the problem was the GPU, I tested other games at the same settings without experiencing any lag or GPU spikes.
For context I have
i7-11800H
16GB of RAM
RTX 3060 6GB

So sad, I played since yesterday on latest version without any problems. Today by mistake I started the game with the laptop in battery mode instead of AC for like 2 minutes. Then I attached the power delivery but It got no changes over the performances and even after a reboot game got stuck like that.
The even more strange fact is that seems not to be a problem with the graphic card because Fallout 4 runs smoothly in high configs.
I’ll try a fresh reinstall as last solution before passing to a previous version

I'm on a mobile 3070 8g with ryzen 5800/ 32gb ram and last patches all improved performances a lot for me, try switching to vulkan or dx11 depending on which one you were using, maybe you'll get a better experience.

Try all of those as well:
-update/Reinstall gpu driver and a clean install with ddu
-Do the same with cpu
-check that your game is running on gpu and not cpu on nvidia panel, my game was originally running on my cpu by default, which is very impressive but not optimal obviously.
-Check if dlss is on and put it on performance
-Reducing your most consumming gpu settings like downgrading shadows
-Make sure you don't have too much texture detail for what your gpu can handle, 6gp is NOT good enough anymore for full texture quality especially at high resolutions above 1080p
- Check the integrity of the games files(right click on game on steam library then properties then verify)

You seem to have a laptop as well from your last comment, you want to start your game when plugged in, not on battery. That's your problem. Put your laptop on maximum performance, force the game to be on gpu on both windows graphic options and nvidia panel. You want to restart after that and then you launch the game, you don't want to switch mode and unplug it in the middle of the game running, your computer can not push as much performance on battery as it does plugged in, it's very important you keep that in mind.

Check your geforce experience settings, you probably have something on (like quiet mode ) that nerfs your performance to benefit your battery life.

You do not want that at all unless you're stuck on a train ride without power and want distraction.

Hope that helped

Solved by reinstalling NVIDIA drivers but somehow I’ve to do It at every startup. Good job Win 11 not doing even an update right

Nice
Yeah I stayed on win10 for this kind of things
