There are few visuals which are causing my game massive framerate loss from 80 fps to around 15-19 fps. It may have started after 11.1.7. The drastic fps loss is only noticed in 5-man instances or in raids.
Below are the list
of visuals which are the issue:
Mechagon Workshop: When rolling down after first boss.
Theatre of Pain: When teleporting from one platform to another in a ball-like model.
Theatre of Pain - Gorechop: Standing in silence pools around the room.
Theatre of Pain - Gorechop: Getting hooked.
Shadow Priest - Dispersion ability: When used in any scenario (idle, during pull).
***SOLUTIONS IVE TRIED But didn’t fix the issue:
Rolling back GPU driver to previous month’s version
Disabling all the addons
Stress test GPU, CPU - no errors found
Memory tests - no errors
Trying all sorts of graphic settings
Complete game reinstallation
Deep Clean PC
Applying Thermal paste to CPU
I’m running GTX 1660Ti GPU with gen 4 i5 processor and 16GM RAM. Very old setup but had no issue before recent patch updates.
