Re: [PC] Ongoing investigation - poor performance, crashes, resource allocation.

Oh well, to get back on track, even though I couldn't find what was using that much RAM, I've managed to eliminate the problem by pretty much shutting everything down, now DAI runs with ~2GB RAM allocated to it while the whole PC runs about at 50-55% which is seems correct. Now another thing that bugged me was the disperancy on the CPU usage when compared with the task manager and in-game graphs.
While running the game around 10-15 FPS I noticed that task manager was showing only ~30% CPU usage on DAI which did not seem correct so, I opened the in-game graphs by perfoverlay.drawgraph 1 and saw that while I had those horrendous FPS values both the CPU and the GPU were running at 80% which was clearly different than that of task manager.
@And after that, I opened the Intel TurboMonitor to see whether the CPU was running at Turbo speed which is @3.2GHz and to my surprise it was not running on turbo. So somethings are either off with my computer and/or the game. And only way to decide which one is at fault seems to be getting confirmation from the Techs Everything is working as intended, carry on you miserable PC players. So I pretty much give up trying to 'fix' this. If anyone can find a reasonable fix I'm all ears tho.
No worries, you didn't. 😉
In your bios, in the settings do you have it set to power saving mode, normal mode, or turbo mode?
If you have that set to turbo mode, when the system requires it (due to load) the computer will automatically
overclock your cpu and/or ram to give it a litle bit more processing power.
Or it will start at overclocked frequencies, every time you start up your system.
(Different boards from different manufacturers will handle this differently).
If you have it set to turbo mode, set it to normal mode.
It will probably slow your system down some, and take longer to load things,
but it "should" make it a little more stable, though slower than what you are used to.
(at least for this game)
When you want to play something else, just change the settings back to where you normally have them.
In the bios, in the operating system, and nvidia or amd control panel, and whichever OC software you are using.
