Re: Need for speed payback stuttering

@H1brid Keyword is Optimization if it's a Driver/Game Issue.

I only have small lags here and there not that often and mostly on two exact spots on one it drops to arround  48fps all the time,besides those two spots i have no problems.

i7 6700k, 16gb @3000mhz, 1070, ssds win 10 win+drivers fully updated.

there are many reasons that could cause a game to lagg, which in best you all check at least once.

- closing all programs which aren't nessesary for system/hardware to run even try disabling antivirus temporarely.

- if the lag occurs online check your internet connection speed, ping, packet loss, lan instead of wlan

- check your temperatures while in game after 10-60minutes (maybe thermal throtteling)

- update drivers

- check the other ideas people gave like limiting the cpu cores for the game via task manager 

the weird thing is some seem have lag some have them less even while all of them seem to have a high enough powered pc.

if everybody would have so much lags it would most likely be a programming issue, i played one game which would also lagg on a supercomputer because of bad programming.

I believe it's due to optimizations. I run Witcher 3 with everything maxxed without a hitch.

I don't have big dips, but when I do have them it's usually in a rather critical moment, like a curve with some oncoming traffic or other similar stuff; dropping from 60fps (vsync) to say 15 for a fraction of a second, going back to 30 and so on. Basically enough to make you crash.

I tried many things, I only got the core limitation stuff to work on, but I do believe this is something that needs to be addressed by EA. We apply workarounds to improve our experience, but the product should be polished to provide an optimal experience without requiring users (sometimes with no tweaking experience) to intervene.
