Low FPS after update

[BeefPeenActual]

I was running the game at over 100 fps before the update, and no matter what I do the frame rate drops to 20. I've set everything to the lowest possible settings and it still drops to 20. I'm running a 4080 FTW. Any advice?

When was the last time you played the game? During the subsequent elapsed time, has your PC had a forced GPU driver update from GeForce Experience? With KCD1, I noticed that my FPS rate would get tanked after a forced Nvidia GPU driver update and some times even with a Windows update.

Well it's some weird problem with your system, I think we can rule out the game being too demanding because I'm getting 40 fps with a potato (GTX 950 2Gb on lowest settings).
You should be crushing it.
Sounds almost like you're not even using your GPU, have you by any chance got it running on CPU integrated graphics?
Sounds mad but 20 fps on lowest settings?

No you're not. EVGA stopped making GPU's after the 30 series.

Funnily enough, my GTX 950 is an EVGA FTW model.

That's adorable, but OP lied about their rig

1. Check your card internal menu make sure your settings are set to what you like.

2. Make sure a NVIDA’s drivers are up to date.

3. Turn off NVIDA GeForce capture UI it causes horrible issues.

4. Try cleaning out old files using Disk Clean. Sometimes old windows update files can mess with games (very unlikely the issue)

5. If you’re using AMD for a processor there have been huge issues with performance due to the update with AMD. Check processor speed try slowing it down if overclocked.

6. Check task manager while running game and use the full view to see what’s causing the GPU or CPU to spike.

7. Check RAM if your drops are caused by turning left and right fast. Most games use visual rendering and keep data for fast load on RAM it may be leaking memory.

If none of the above have done anything to fix your issue try googling your specific issue. Make sure you do a trial and error to get the cause lowered down to specific actions.

Check the FPS Limit settings, mine occasionally drop to 40FPS for whatever reason.

When I start the game and continue from where Left off, i'm getting 60 fps as normal. If I die and reload a saved game my FPS drops to 30! Only happened since the last update.. the Hardcore one? Everything was fine before the update! I have changed no settings.
