Poor Performance - FPS Suttering/Lag etc
Hiya, I've seen some other threads on this but was told to ask for help here by EA's service help themselves so that the community management could see it? I have a gaming laptop which I believe mee...

Performance definitely improved when I initially created more space on the SSD it was installed on, but even after re-installing on an empty SSD the issue persists.
How long did the shader compiling take?
Did you tried to delete and rebuild the shader cache?
(Both, game and driver)
First time I loaded the game, over an hour. Now takes a minute or two each time, and when I re-installed it took maybe 5-10 mins.
I don't think I've tried that separately, unless that would have happened when I uninstalled and then reinstalled the game?
First set a cache limit to 5gb in nvidia cpanel. Right after that delete the existing cache from %appdata% - sorry I don't know exact path (different video card here). Clearing cache can be also done by using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and install fresh new drivers. That will force the game to recompile the shaders and if you set a decent limit in cpanel instead of leaving the driver to manage the space (which happens to fail on different divers/games). On your machine the total shader rebuild should take only 2-3 min and the verify at the game start not more than a few seconds.
The driver cache is under "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache"
The Games shader cache is in the games folder: "Dragon Age The Veilguard\shader_cache\"
Increasing the shader cache in the driver to at least 5GB as @sweetpoison0011 suggested is also a good idea.Thanks for the precise path @holger1405
@Pikaremo Remember, give the cache size a value, don't let the driver on dynamic or automatic.
Also, as a side note, you can clear what is in the folder c:\Users\sername\AppData\Local\D3DSCache\.
On same side note, use smart sync or something similar to gain: v-sync on when the FPS exceed the display refresh rate and v-sync automatically off then FPS falls below refresh rate. I think for nvidia would be "adaptive" or "fast" (the description is vague and I can't be sure which one does a better job)
