Can't fix low fps on mhw iceborn

[Yatsufura]

Hello
I have played mhw with 50 - 60 fps with graphics medium - high. totally normal, after the installation of Iceborn i couldn't have more of 30fps.
The first problem was the 100% of my cpu, so i changed my cpu. Previously i had an i3 9100F, now i have an i7 9700KF. But I kept having the same problem, so i installed a mod: "Performance booster and plugin extender" this mod helped me fix the problem of using 100% of the cpu. But when I open the game I still cannot go beyond 30 fps. my fps is locked at 120.
I need to fix this :( someone knows how to fix it?

My spec are:

Gigabyte b365m ds3h
AMD RX 570 MSI 4GB
I7 9700KF 3.60 Ghz
8GB RAM 2666 Mhz
2TB Memory (without ssd)


the possible solutions where:
Re-install the game with the dlc, re-install the game without the dlc, change my cpu, change the graphic settings in many ways, I gave high priority to the game, install the mod that i mention, try updating my gpu drives, disable the real time protection of windows defender, minimize and maximize the game.

You should provide EVERY option details you are currently using.

Ambient occlusion: off
Screen space: off

Check in display options if your FPS is locked to 30.
Chdxk in Nvdia Penel as well.

You really came in to waste people's time instead of offering a solution?
That's pretty sad bruv

how about you try turning off your fps lock first, and then you can come back here if you have any other issues

If its stuck at 30 somethings causing it. Try a clean MH installation at 1080P.

You do not need to use mods to boost 'performance'.

I mean it's between 30 and 37 fps in Astera, if I go to the primeval forest I have between 10 and 15 fps, I already tried reinstalling with the dlc and without the dlc

The dlc itself shouldn't impact your performance in general, maybe some of the newer areas but not in general.

I see 2 problems with your hardware configuartion, 8gb of memory and only 4gb of video ram. Maybe that's throtteling your fps.

Your cpu is faster than mine so you shouldn't get 100% cpu usage, hinting at a direction that you got a bottleneck somewhere. My guess is that because of low mem it start's swapping memory to disk.

As for memory try starting steam without it's web client:
create a shortcut to your steam.exe and edit the shortcut by adding a parameter so it looks like this
D:\Steam\Steam.exe -no-browser
should give you some 100 extra mb of memory, if that helps you can shut down some of the bloatware windows usually runs in the background.

As for the mod you installed, pretty much no one of us knows what the mod really does and what problems do result out of it. Try running without it untill you fixed your problems in general.

An then there is the a chance that mhw is running on your cpu instead of your gpu.
So make sure hdmi is plugged into your gfx card instead on the hdmi port on your motherboard (not joking, happens to a lot of people).

It is something very strange what happens to me because I am currently playing Shadow of the tomb raider in high graphics and it runs at 60 to 70 fps. It only happens to me playing Mhw, but as I said, before installing the Iceborn update the game was running normally

You really can't compare one game to another because a lot of reasons.
Eg. mhw is a multiplayer game so it's core structure is completly different to singleplayer games.
I'm still going with that the dlc didn't change anything on the hardware usage, as that was a problem when the dlc originally came out and had a pre patch where they changed the base game to the new requirements. In other words, you've been playing on the IB exe already and installing the dlc just unlocked some maps and features.

It's most likely something with the graphics settings (ingame) as they can be set back to default when you install Iceborne.

Mhw is a singleplayer game, thats why you cant coop cutscenes

You can't co-op cutscenes because they didn't feel like doing it for the story cutscenes. There are multiple cutscenes in game that function in multiplayer including showing other players and are skippable.

Btw, are you playing on DX12?
If not, try it.
Otherwise, there must be serious bottleneck your CPU and GPU are experiencing.
Let me pull out my old settings for my old PC. Brb.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~^
This was for my old system from which I pushed 60FPS.

RAM: 16 GIG
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K @ 3.50GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660
OS: Windows 10

* Download Windows 10 (Optional)
This is coming from a man who ran Win 95, then Windows 7 since it's release. Unfortunately Windows 7 is not updated anymore, is dramatically slower, and doesn't support modern games well.
I've updated to Windows 10 and my game jumped from 28FPS to 52FPS without any issues. Luckily, W10 is similar to 7 and practically operates the same way. You can disable sharing information with Windows as you install it. You can get a key for $30 anywhere. You can also find the free legal version if you spend more time searching.

* Download Reshade
from reshade.me website, will make the game look pleasant PLUS take away A LOT OF STRESS from the CPU.
You are looking for Legacy setting for Colorfulness and SMAA.

Graphic Settings (for lower-med end PCs)
In this section you will find my graphic settings that I've studies, researched, ran FPS tests, and many of in-game settings are a liability if turned on.

Display Setting

DirectX 12 - OFF
Screen Mode - Borderless
FidelityFX - OFF
Frame Rate - 60
V-sync - OFF

Advanced Setting

Image: High
Texture: 1024
Ambient: Mid
Volume Rendering: OFF
Shadow: High (on low setting it drops FPS)
Capsule: OFF
Contact Shadows: OFF
AA: OFF
LOD: Mid
Max LOD: No Limit
Foliage: On
Subsurface: OFF
Screen Space: OFF
Anisotropic: Highest
Shadow: Mid (no visible diff between high/mid)
Snow: Mid
SH Diffuse: Mid
Motion: OFF (turn this motion sickness garbage off)
DOF: OFF
Vignette: OFF
Z-Prepass: On

With all these changes I played the game smooth and without any issues at around 52-60FPS.

This game likes threads and lots of it. Good if you can have a bit more cores/threads.
Memory - more than 12GB is probably better if you can afford it.
RX 570 is really a sub 1080P card so adjust settings to match like 'Prioritize Frame Rate over Resolution' '
