[SOLVED] 26 FPS CONSTANT, HIGH END PC & BUGGY AUDIO

[Nova]

Anyone have any ideas on what I should do? I've got a 2080 Super, i7 7700 and 16GB DDR4 RAM, ever since the game was in Open Beta, I've had issues with frames, I've played this game since launch sub 30 FPS, and I haven't been able to EVER reach anything above 60, forget 30 at this point. FPS stays constant no matter what settings, and I mean no matter what, fullscreen, windowed, borderless, max, low, vsync.
I've also had an issue going along with this where the game would EARRAPE me flat out when I load into the garage, the phone sound is extremely loud, and then I'd get spoken to in 500% volume and I scream and throw my headphones off because it is so ♥♥♥♥ing loud.

I've tried resetting my BIOS, multiple restarts, closing everything except the game, reinstalling, admin, scaling, swapped GPU's, overclocking, ipconfig flush DNS (don't ask, EA support had me do this ???), driver updates, compatibility mode, different sceens, resolutions, affinity, priority, user.cfg.. Pretty much everything.

Need For Speed Payback runs perfectly fine though.

WOOOOOOOW!!! Same problem. i7-3770K, GTX 1080, 16Gb DDR3 2133mhz, HDD. In Payback and Need For Speed ​​it's OK

I just started to get this in multiplayer only.. Also engine popping too loud during play. Garage... aaarrrgghhh.. too loud.. solo mode.. all OK. during this the gpu spikes to 100%

I found the issue, so apparently you have to clear your Origin caches..

%ProgramData%Electronic Arts/EA Desktop
(WINDOWS + R, run the address and delete everything inside of it)

%AppData%
(run)

Go back, so your address RN should be whatever your local is, AppData > Roaming
Click AppData, backing up a folder.

Open Local

Delete EADesktop and EALauncher in it's entirety

MAKE SURE YOU RESTART, you actually have to restart for this to work.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
I only have folders in ProgramData and Local: Electronic Arts/EA Services, folder License. I deleted everything, rebooted the computer. Unfortunately, it didn't help. I don't have an EA Desktop folder in folder Electronic Arts in ProgramData :(

its your cpu;'s overheating if you look it uses almost 100% cpu usage

take ur overclock off and you will see fps gain.

I have had no overclock on my CPU and I had 100% usage, I actually upgraded to an R7 3800XT and still have similar usage, with okay temps on the 212 Black cooler with an overclock to 4.4Ghz which about 4 of the 8 cores actually seem to hit.

But you have the exact same issue as me huh? That's really weird if our solutions would be different then

Yes, I also wrote here about my problem.

I was advised to check the computer for viruses (I already checked it, no), reinstall the NVIDIA drivers (did it too), and clear the Origin cache. Unfortunately, didn't help again.
I'm going to back up my SSD this weekend with Acronis TrueImage, and clean Windows 10 and Need for Speed Heat, and try to run. If the picture is the same, I will recover from the backup, if 60FPS, then I will reinstall the programs on clean Windows 10.
Maybe my i7-3770K is not dragging the game.
Ivy Bridge ... a very old generation ...

[KatyonaKateyka]

Backed up my SSD with Acronis True Image, and cleaned up Windows 10, Steam, Origin, NVIDIA drivers.
I tried to play Heat and got 100FPS without VSync. So the reason is software, my i7-3770K is still dragging.
I will roll back to the backup, uninstall Origin via Revo Uninstaller, remove various third-party software that hangs in startup and set up other experiments, including with the complete uninstallation of NVIDIA drivers.

And also removal of Origin via Revo Uninstaller with the removal of leftovers (cache) and re-automatic installation by Steam from the Need for Speed ​​Heat folders.

In addition, these possibly optional actions were made, which did not affect anything.
1. Kaspersky Anti-Virus was reinstalled.
2. All Microsoft Visual C ++ redistributable components were removed and only those that came with the NVIDIA, Origin drivers and the game itself were installed.

Now 100FPS without VSync, with 60 enabled, like my monitor.
