FPS DROPS
you guys really need to fix the FPS Drops. This game Frames are more inconsistent than my sex life. it'll be like 180 down the hallway then I ADS and bam 70 frames yay. Even worse when their 2 demolishers with flamers. Id rather have lower overall FPS but have it be consistent than whats currently happening with fluctuations all over the place from 200-70 in any given situation. It gets worse when you equip sights on your guns hilariously enough. I hope this is a priority whether you need to work with Nvidia/AMD to get drivers out or what but its pretty jarring and asking few friends they seem to notice the same thing once I pointed it out so its not just me.

These 3 settings make a big FPS difference.

I only get dips down to 120fps during ADS @ 1440p w/rtx3070 now.

Don't play on a potato? Game runs smooth for 99% of us, loads super fast. have had zero issues and I'm on 2 gen old hardware.

Seems you don't know how to optimise your PC. You don't unlock framerate like that. Set it to a fixed limit, you know like your refresh rate. Your problem lies in how your configuring the game and no doubt, your entire PC. But hey if you want your GPU to overheat because you have unlimited framerate then go for it. FYI That's probably the problem - your GPU is downclocking because it's overheating at 200fps LOL

and here is idiot #1
Says the guy trying to play with unlocked framerate expecting 200fps? You don't seem to understand how hardware works. You should go to console instead. No need for insults. If you have a brain, use it and come back at me with an intelligent response. You'll just get banned for responding with insults. But if that's the best insult you've got, I doubt you have much of any validity to say.

And, read the whole comment.

Recon class's PUPS is a big FPS tanker on my system for some reason.
It's pretty much the only thing in the game that does that for me.
I assume it's either the laser scanning effect or the model itself but I think it's the former.

yeah no idea you dont notice it until you start paying attention but you'll go from like 180 FPS to 70 sometimes when ADSing in fights. Makes gunplay feel like ♥♥♥♥. especially on a 240hz. Got other people noticing it now too with similar setups 3060,3070,3070ti and my 3080 friend gets dips too. I just want them to make less dips. You can't even lock frames to 120 because it doesn't fix the dipping itlll sit at 120 then just dip to 60-70 in fights. Thats not normal and is clearly an optimization issue with the FOV changing

Literally watching a stream right now where its happening to them 160 frames. even a light gunfight starts boom 90 FPS.

Guess the PS5 is a potato as well? Cause it is also getting frame drops. If you wanna act out, that's fine, but the forums aren't a place to do it.

you always get idiots like this lol just ignore him. He doesnt even know what hes saying everything he ran his mouth off is objectively wrong in the first place. Its like talking to a bug. I feel bad for him too because he thinks unlocking your FPS overheats your GPU lmao. I'd hate to see how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ his setup is with dumb comments like that.

yeah im on a 160hz 1440p asus rog screen with gsync, evga 3080 ftw3 , oc'd 9700k installed on nvme/m.2 drive with 32gb ram ect and getting anywhere 160-67 fps lol gsync helps alot because it's usually in the 110-160 area, but you're not alone im really sensitive to minor flucuations of fps so it can be abit immersion breaking =/

Some of the special effects might need another optimization pass I reckon.
It certainly does not look good enough to cause this on high end systems.

I think its an FOV thing. I notice it gets way worse with scopes added to my guns which zooms you in even more. Hopefully they fix this issue because Ive been thru quite a few streams so far and its happening to everyone whether they notice it or not but I'm very sensitive to minor fluctuations like JAME is so it really bothers the ♥♥♥♥ out of me and even FPS capping it to 60 just to see you still get frame dips of like 20-30%. Its deff not a good looking game I mean I would consider this about on par if not slightly worse than world war z in terms of graphic fidelity ( WWZ has way more ♥♥♥♥ on screen ) and that game on vulkan will run at like 200 FPS at all times. Even B4B beta I was getting like 300+ FPS consistently smooth. So its just this horde game isn't optimized well.

change the resolution mode to fullscreen and dont forget to click "apply graphics changes" below the resolution selector.

Oh for sure it's also caused by the FoV.
Which would lead me to believe it's actually an issue with LoD swapping or something. With models, lighting and effects in general.
Some effects seem to be an unreasonable drain alot more than others outside of that in general though.
