Hello! After playing shadowlands for a while now. I have noticed my fps jumping up and down a lot And i wonder if its just me, or if everyone else experience this.
First of all! I would like to mention that its mostly in Bastion i notice it and uh, less in others. It does not drop below 90 fps which is fine. But you kinda notice it when it goes between 144 and 90 here and there. Just seems like a big jump in frames and it appears to be random???
Spec: 32gb Ram
intel® Core™ i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz
RTX 2080 super
144hz monitor.
My gpu temps is at 53-60 And my cpu is about 49-54 . ingame ofc
got Latest windows and nvidia drivers installed.
Tried with addons on and off.
Graphics quality is at 7 (custom) With nothing above high. And some on good.
Vsync off and no Ray tracing enabled. my ingame fps is capped at 144.
Might be a weird thing to worry about since my fps is not terrible and i can play the game. But i wonder if it could / should run at a more… consistent(?) fps.
My english not great. So i hope whoever reads this understands what i’m trying to say
I have 3070 and 5900X and at 3440x1440 mode 7 it holds the FPS well, although I have 75Hz screen. While benchmarking most of the time it was around 200 FPS with few spots around 90-100.
I see. Maybe its not so strange after all. I can play just fine so i’m not too worried. Just curious 
Thanks for the reply
Hi Bigkeg,
I must ask what version of windows are you running specifically the build?
As well as what version nvidia driver are you running.
As I recently too upgraded to a rtx 3070.
But I am having endless crashes error#132.
So I would be keen to know about your experience you are having.
Thanks
That’s memory related. What RAM config do you have and on what motherboard with which CPU?
I mean it could be a possibility but it only happens in w0w and the only thing that has changed is the GPU.
In answering your question thou
2x 8gb DDR 4 2400mhz Corsair Vengeance
Gigabyte Z170 Gaming EU 3
i7 6700K
Thanks in advance.
Faster framerate could have pushed other parts of the game allowing the bug to manifest (other timers). You could try setting lower XMP profile or disabling it for a test, then also check for BIOS updates. 2400MHz is super unlikely to cause problems though.
I’m using latest versions, including bigger patches of Windows. Error 132 is quite “common” in WoW - can happen with some older Ryzens when RAM is pushed to high or when some motherboard vendor software tries memory or system OC/optimization. If you have such apps also disable/remove them.
Hi Bigkeg,
Thanks for getting back to me. I am running the latest bios.
After your suggestion I popped in some new “spare” ram I had 2x 8gb sticks. With no xmp.
And just had a crash. So I think its safe to say its not the ram. Not running any over clocked software.
I have set the game to run with vsync on to cap fps at 60. And I will say that it has improved the experience but still getting the crash.
This is the error btw if you might know:
Exception: ACCESS_VIOLATION
The instruction at “0x00007ffda1a84f74” referenced memory at “0xffffffffffffffff”.
The memory could not be “read”.
Thou below that something keeps pointing towards “d3d12.dll”
I do question if its maybe the card or drivers. Going to try with no add ons and see if the issue persists.
You can run a “memtest” application to check if the system handles the RAM correctly. You can leave it over night as such tests are endless and basically you check if after longer periods of time it did not encounter any errors. If that doesn’t show anything then it can be more WoW related.
If Nvidia or Microsoft made a regression in their code (that shows up only on specific hardware combinations) then they will have to fix it which shouldn’t take to long.
