Unplayable due to fps drops.
I got a RTX 3060 and can play most games with no issue so what am i doing wrong here? Get 100+ fps at the start of a mission but when the shooting starts with several mechs it drops down to 10 fps stuttering like crazy or even to 0 freezing the screen for a few seconds. Turned of ray tracing and trying this performance mod but nothing seems to help.

Im running an rtx3060 aswell and had the same problems,i changed the draw distance to medium and put all the rest of the settings on high and have no problems now.

Same problem here.
RTX3070
Towards the end of the 1st mission framerate drops to 10 then it crashes because of "not enough video memory".
Everything is on high and ray tracing is off.

I've developed ta similar issue after purchasing the Rasalhague DLC yesterday. The game was fine prior to that and now is unplayable once it goes from walking simulator to combat simulator. I'm using an RTX3070 with an i5-8600. I see that the game is now maxxing out CPU and memory even when nothing else of significance is running.

Sounds like they have a leak to fix.

i looked up 4090 gameplay and its just badly optimized.

I fixed it. It was Anisotropic filtering that did it. Changed it to 2x instead of 16x and have 100+ fps constantly without any stutter.

im praying to the ominissiah in hope he blesses my GTX 1060 and gives it a few more years of life :)

Also have a 3060 and had issues with framerate. Had a mod for cockpit glass and once I turned that off went from choppy explosion slideshow to 100+ frames stable. Seems mods react violently to mild changes in graphics settings as well, some pc builds dont like the graphics pushed too high with performance mods while others dont care.

I have an RTX 2070 and it is now struggling. I used the optimizer and everything. I had zero issues prior to latest update. I did not try uninstalling all mods. Im not sure if that is causing issues or not.

That's really across the board. Any GPU. Don't think much attention went into optimizing this game.

Until two weeks ago, I was playing with the Radeon Pro 580 in my 2017 iMac, and getting perfectly serviceable frame rates at 1440p, with the graphics settings set to whatever MW5 thought was appropriate for my hardware. If you're seeing huge performance hits or instability with hardware so much better than that, I suspect you've either got the graphics settings turned up too high somewhere, or you're looking at a driver or a game corruption issue, either of which would best be solved by reinstalling the bits in question.

I say 'until two weeks ago', because that's when I finished my new gaming rig build, which has a 4070Ti, and with that I can literally run with absolutely everything cranked up all the way, and never see less than 60 FPS. (That's the limit of my monitor, so I run with V-Sync enabled.)

May I know if there are any solutions to this issue ?
I have experienced this same issue as well using RTX 2060.
Thank you

I have the feeling this game has issues with specific graphics cards, my 4060 runs the game fine, i've no clue what may be causing it, but to be honest the game lags very rarely (lots of effects/particles due to my mods) on my pc aswell, but not as bad as this.

As a last ditch attempt for anyone here still having issues after messing with in game settings, I recommend trying out this mod. I personally use it and it has made a difference for me.
