DOOM 2016 Random Lag FREQUENT

[Dr. Fronkensteen]

After like a several minutes of playing the game, if I respawn or start a new level, the game just slows the **** down to like 15 FPS! FOR NO REASON! I temporarily fixed this by verifying the game cache and now IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN! So ******* fed up with this

PC specs and graphics settings you are trying to run it at.

I don't think my specs has anything to do with it because this wasn't a problem until like two months ago. I got the game around July. Changing around the video/graphical settings doesn't change anything.

As a professional tech support. I ask the Specs and some details about the problem before even starting to help troubleshoot. It's good to know i won't be wasting my time in case you have a toaster. That's why i ask first.

It's a bit complicated to say because my brother installed a different graphics card into my computer after we got it. It initially had a 1GB Intel(R) graphics card, but the new one is a 2GB graphics card. Not sure what type though (might be NVidia). I got the new one specifically for Doom, and as I said it ran very well for the first few months and then the random drops in FPS started occuring around late September I think, (I got the game in July as I said) anyway, My Installed Memory (RAM) is 12.0 GB, System Type = 64-bit operating system, x64 based processor. It also says Processor = Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.71 GHz

I get the feeling you do not build your own machines that often, so if you would please press (window key + r) it will open a small prompt on the bottom left of your screen, in that type in "dxdiag", it will take a moment to run. Click the save button which will save a text file, copy the contents of the text file in to this thread. The most personal information it will contain is your pc name so unless you named it something stupid you will be all right. Other important information would be the output from a berkly analysis but I doubt you want to share that much, so post any security tools you currently have like firewalls, anti-virus, adware blockers etc. Did you update your operating system any time around when the problems started occuring? Did you update any firmware? Did you go to websites that probably gave you a virus? Outside if system specs is it specific levels, is it multiplayer, singleplayer, or both? I know certein hell levels toast low spec machines. What graphics mode are you running the game in? etc etc, there are literally hundreds of questions, the more solid information the better.

This is problem with graphic card with 2GB RAM. Add me on Steam. Maybe fixed this problem.

I use Malewarebytes Anti-Maleware for anti maleware. I haven't touched it since I got the computer in January and I do my best to avoid anything that could give me a virus. Windows 10 did an automatic update at one point in August which I believe is around the time the problem began to occur. I don't play Doom's multiplayer very much, but lately I've been getting framedrops when playing some of my maps in SnapMap which is very recent. This wasn't a problem before a few weeks ago I'd say. I should mention that at one point around September I lowered a lot of graphics options and this seemed to help for a time before the problem came back. It's better when I set the screen resolution to the lowest possible (I think 1280 by 600 or something like that) but setting it to the highest (1600 by 900) is a nightmare.

The solution in that thread seemed to be using OpenGL, but that's what I already use. I tried switching to Vulkan, and the game would crash to desktop frequently after I did that. And I was dipping down to as low as 15 FPS... I'll look at some solutions in the replies to that post though. Could find something there.

No, I am talking about my workaround mentioned in that thread.
