Huge fps drops after vol6

When the game vol 5.1 is installed on the PC, it gets 150 fps in 2k native ultra settings, but now it gets 110 fps. I neither updated the driver nor made any changes to the system. There is a direct 40 fps drop. Has this happened to anyone? ??

Hi @2smokeTM

Can we try the following and check for any changes?

Clear EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)

No, I didn't make any changes, all my other games play as before without any problems. The game, which had 190 fps in the garage without the update, dropped to 155 fps in the garage immediately after the update. While it was around 150 outside, it dropped to 110 and even 80 in some places. I just updated via Steam and it took about 5-6 minutes, while I waited without doing anything. Then I opened the game and this is it. Please don't give the same answers like a robot.

I tried all things like app recovery and clear cache, clear shader cache.

With 5.1 on, I could even listen to music with Steam turned on in the background without any problems. While CPU usage was around 30% in 5.1, it is now around 94% even when nothing is running in the background. and the only thing I do is update the game in 5-6 minutes.

@2smokeTM Apparently there is another cache folder in the Documents\Need For Speed(TM) Unbound

I already deleted it, even the entire folder, thinking maybe there was a change in the settings. It didn't do any good. Then I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it thinking maybe it would be better than the update. I guess I can't explain the situation fully. My problem is not instantaneous fps drops or stuttering. While I was sitting idle in the garage after the game first started and finished the shader cache compilation, the 190 fps I used to get is now around 155, and the 150-160 fps I got outside is now around 110 and even drops to 80. I don't experience any lag or freezing anyway. In short, I can barely get the same fps on medium that I get on ultra when I have 5.1.
