Okay. I do the clean boot thing anyways. I know it is normal but I'm talking about 60 fps to 5 fps. Like really bad lag spikes.

Have you tried different settings on your vsync? You should not be dropping to 5 fps. Mine stays 58-60 all the time but im not the norm. you should between 40-60. I play on adaptive vsync rather than on it works better for me.

sorry I though you were the other person with Nvida. I see you have AMD .Does AMD have different settings you can try on vsync

Ok I just read in a few places that some report the 14.xx drivers are problematic with the 280x and suggest 13.xx drivers
Q
Try rolling back and after done still try one clean boot test again third party apps are the next common reason for card issues

Amd doesn't have vsync in CCC that works. I use Radeonpro for that. I can try using dynamic vsync and report that.

Okay. Im going to try this. I noticed on my old card that the omega drivers caused some performance issues. I'll try the old ones.

I updated the drivers to 15.xx and changed the vsync to dynamic in radeonpro. I get much smoother framerate.

Glad you got it working! Enjoy your game :D

Thanks! I'm glad that it was suggested to do these things.

You will probably never get 100% smooth.. but close lol, Enjoy your game :)

It isn't 100 percent but it is really close.

that's good :)

15 drivers are out? glad to hear they are helping if you dont get the performance you want we can review settings i recently changed my standard settings for better performance for 4 and didit take a hit with three it

I know i'm mad late on this post but I got an i7 7700k processor, 850 evo ssd gtx 1070 card and a gsync 144hz 1440p monitor I got nraas Mc mod, overwatch and register mod in my game it's been like 10mins why am I still at the start of where the screen is black with the little cursor of the mouse is still spinning what is wrong with my game any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I have a helpful possible fix for you. Check out the Manual Version section on this document I created: https://goo.gl/tsfkM2

Hi, I know I'm late but I'm desperate.

Hi, I've never posted before but I'm thinking so much my brain hurts. If anyone of you could help me it would mean a lot.
I just bought a Razer Blade 15'' Advanced 2019.

SPECS:

144Hz
16GB RAM
516 GB ssd
NIVIDA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q
Intel Core i7-8750H

Basically I've got an awesome laptop but can't play the sims 3 as good as I should be able to. I've tried a bunch of games that runs extremely smoothly but the sims 3 just won't work as well as it should. I installed the base game and all of my expansion packs and stuff packs (I have all of them) and the game worked perfectly with no lag at all. I put some CC in my mods folder and now I drop frames more than I should. It's not that I need to clean out my game since it is just two days old.

I also want to add my FPS can drop to 5-17 when scrolling wround or zooming out. I know my game could give more FPS since it reaches to 140 when I'm still.

Also my loading screens and saving takes forever compared to a girl on youtube/twitch with worse Specs and a lot more GB of CC

I gave it more RAM and my boyfriend is going to help me get the game to find my graphics card tomorrow. I've lowered the options to medium on almost everything but I can play every other game on the highest setting. I always start my game with NIVIDA cortex.

Could someone help me out?
