fps drops when horde spawns

[Lalo Salamanca]

Hello, I've a problem where my fps dips from 200 to 80 this appears in just few seconds, mostly when all of the zombies spawn straight on my face or there's alot of things going on the screen.
Things I've tried:
Lowering my graphics (fps don't change no matter if I use ultra or lowest)
Using V-Sync
Adding "-high" to my launch options
Turning off fullscreen optimalizations
Removing all addons.
Updated my drivers and windows.
My specifications:
GTX 1060, Ryzen 5 2600, 2x8 GB RAM.

I just want some help with this, you dont need to create here insult war.

The truth is that the community is disgusting, I hope they see the reports, if you have low fps go to a game optimization guide on YouTube, also download mods in the worshop that help with the fps, delete certain files and if you play versus there are also guides on how to play with modshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNKXiMTFk6U&pp=ygUXb3B0aW1pemUgZ3VpZGUgbDRkMiBmcHM%3D

Optimization guides and optimization mods are for weaker hardware.

OP only needs to configure his computer correctly, since he has a good one.
Make sure the correct GPU is assigned for l4d2.
Since it is an "old" game, the hardware didn't "think" the game would need more allocated resources.

P.S. - The other guy straight up deleted his comments. i would advise you to edit out the name calling

I only have 1 GPU, I don't really understand what do you mean by correct GPU

Do you have "NVIDIA Control Panel"? Go into it, make sure l4d2.exe is on the list and as "Use prefered GPU: GTX 1060".

p.s. - i just noticed your profile's description. i dislike your type of ideology, therefore i will not indulge you any further.
good luck and have fun.

Play without zombies. Jk =)
No, it doesn't. it happens to those who either have something badly configured or straight up bad computer hardware.

Nope. Look around on the forums and posts elsewhere, this happens for oddball reasons nobody I know of has yet been able to pinpoint.

It doesn't matter what rig you have, the game just interacts very poorly with certain drivers and/or hardware, even with fresh install vanilla setup. Large hordes are one of the things triggering this, and for some it gets even worse when you start firing your gun, apparently (as in, as far as we can tell) related to the TLS update that hacked in a choppy recoil animation for the firing sequence. I have it, it only happens on L4D1 maps in certain areas, only on versus mode, and that's with no mods installed and a clean, fresh game and system.

edit: and also, with iGPU disabled/enabled, different desktop environment, even a dedicated graphical desktop session solely for gaming.

At this point it's hard to say exactly what _does_ cause it, but it's easy to say that it's not due to configuration or hardware - because several of us have carefully ruled that out already.

This "upgrade ur pc / stop installing mods" response to people's problems is getting old and it doesn't help anyone figure out what's actually going awry.
