Sims 4 Massive FPS Drops
I have had issues with the game randomly dropping to 15-20 fps for extended periods of time, sometimes nearly 30 minutes which makes playing difficult. I have lowered resolution and graphics settings...
I have a laptop with dual GPU, and NVIDIA control panel, as I've mentioned above, doesn't affect the game.
I am not sure what Intel control panel would do, I don't use Intel graphics for gaming.
@rostsit Unless your laptop has a MUX switch, which it probably doesn't, all the graphics data gets passed through the Intel graphics chip before being displayed on-screen. So limiting fps in the Intel control panel can help here even when the Nvidia card is doing all of the initial graphics processing.
@puzzlezaddictback from vacation at last and I was able to test this. It seems to be working. Kinda. I have to test this for a longer period. What's I'm sure about is that Intel limit works, no tearing. FPS drops still occurs, but only short ones, I guess this is normal. No prolonged drops detected so far. Thank you.
