Unexpected Slowdowns After 15 Minutes: High Settings on Powerful Setup
I don't have any crash issues. However, I experience slowdowns and stuttering without apparent reason after about 15 minutes of gameplay, with the graphics set to high quality, not ultra. The specifications of my operating system are: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU (tested at 4.2 GHz, temperatures are around 70°C and at 5.2 GHz, about 88°C, and the same issue appears in the same time frame) - 32.0 GB RAM - Windows 11 Pro - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super (temperature stays steady around 70°C). Since this is not an overheating issue and I am aware that the graphics card has only 8GB of dedicated memory, I have ray tracing turned off and graphic settings set to high, not ultra. I wonder why I’m encountering this problem after such a short amount of gameplay.
Hi, I tried working a bit on overclocking the GPU without pushing it too far, but with no success. However, I solved the issue by using the automatic adjustment setting in the NVIDIA app (System > Performance > Tag set to "Automatic Adjustment"). I avoided using the graphic optimization to prevent potential conflicts between apps.
To be honest, the "Automatic Adjustment" tag doesn't seem to show any visible changes in the stats when monitoring the GPU under load, compared to when the tag is not active. However, if I remove the tag, the problem returns. In any case, the issue was resolved through the NVIDIA app. (FOR NOW)
