I have recently had some frustrating issues with Odyssey, Origins and Syndicate all have a similiar annoying issue of floating around 45 fps barely changing regardless of what settings I alter it to. I have a Ryzen 5900x x570 Asus board paired with a 6700xt and quite frankly I should be able to play these titles comfortably over 60fps and it's infuriating that I cannot seem to resolve this. I have tried updating BIOS, clean driver installation, tightening RAM timings etc. To put this into context I have no issues with any other games even the much maligned Cyberpunk is buttery smooth on this system but these games are stuck on 40 odd fps even dropping resolution. Is there something I am missing here? I am not sure if it's a game update that caused it but I would assume it is not as Syndicate is also affected. It may correlate with switching to the Ubisoft Connect launcher but i'm not entirely sure what is causing it but it is frustrating. Has anyone else had this issue?
Is that a Gigabyte graphics card by any chance? I heard some of them have a BIOS issue that locks the clock to only 500 MHz in some games and there is a BIOS update for it that should fix the problem .... It's definitely something to do with your graphics card because I got better performance with a 2600 and 5700 XT and even better performance after I upgraded to a 3700x and a 2080 Super
Incidentally I found a workaround with DVXK that gave me great performance. It's a bit stuttery till it builds the DVXK file but well worth looking into as a backup. I don't need it now as recent GPU update has solved my issue turns out the 6700 XT was having some issues with older games until they released the new driver.
Oh for cripes sakes .... AMD did the same thing with the 5700 ..... It was Feb. 2020 before I found a stable set of drivers and then by March they mucked up the recording so I was stuck with the February drivers until I was forced to upgrade for HZD and even then I had to figure out how to get recording to work on my own because AMD support was no help at all .... Never did get my USB microphone for voice over to work without causing stuttering to the audio in the video which you wouldn't find out about until after you processed the video
I'm a big fan of AMD CPUs and have held 1003 shares of AMD stock since 2009 but it'll be a long time before I buy another one of their graphics cards after the experience I had with the 5700
Really helpful thread. Especially really helping each others. I was also facing the fps issues but with the help of ubisoft forums problem is fixed. As I am newbie, So in my introduction I am a welding expert by profession. Thanks,
I was fortunate enough to get the 5700xt around about Black Friday there so the drivers were well tuned by then but I heard some horror stories about it. I am hoping now they're aiming to compete at the top end with Nvidia that driver support will be much more efficient this time. I haven't done any recording on either card but I will keep that in mind can totally understand your frustration the price you pay for the hardware especially at the moment the least you expect is it is capable of the basic functions it's designed for,
I would recommend sticking with that driver until you have a good reason to change like buying a just released game that actually needs new drivers ...... For instance right now I have a hybrid watercooled RTX 2080 Super and I'm still running the Game Ready Drivers (Dec. 9) for Cyberpunk 2077 because they just work ..... If it ain't broke then don't try to fix it .... I did upgrade GeForce Experience but mainly because there was a bug in the recording encoder that caused everything uploaded to YouTube to be too dark because the video would have the wrong header information and I upgraded again because they updated the noise reduction which will allow me to stream games using my speakers without feedback instead of using headphones which I hate using but I'm still using the 460.79 drivers
