This is method how i have solved my problem with game, now i dont have none of title issues, my FPS in games are 95-100FPS with no drops, CPU Usage: 70-85% and GPU Usage: 80-95%, this could be fix to others as well with same rig i have. I have recorded prove video with mobile phone so to not loss none frame. . i7 6700K (oc 4.7) 16Gb DDR4 RAM 2133 (if your ram is faster then 2133 then downclock it to 2133, if you are on DDR3 make it 1600, this is only if you have RAM issues) GTX 980Ti SLI (game running in DX11) Game is installed on SSD EVGA P1 1600W 3440x1440 100Hz G-sync (game running on ultra settings, Anti-aliasing OFF, with high settings gameplay can be even better) . **Make User.cfg file add below settings and save it to game directory** **Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8 (check your CPU how much threads it have and replace it with 8, if you have more then 8 threads then make it “8” cause if you add 16 game will not startup)** **PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1** **RenderDevice.VSyncEnable 0** **RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 2 (you can play around with this in range of 0-4 values and see which is the best for you, for me is 2)** **GameTime.MaxVariableFps 99.94 (if your monitor is 60Hz then add 59.94, if your monitor is 120Hz and you can match FPS with that, then add 119.94, and for 144 143.94)** **.** **DISABLE Windows update (win10)** **.** DISABLE GAME DVR on WINDOWS 10 **by disabling this you will increase 10-20% of FPS in all your games** **If you dont use XBOX app on your windows then do following:** **1. Click the search button** **2. Search for “PowerShell”** **3. Right click on Windows Powershell, then click “Run as administrator”** **4. Paste this in: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage** **5. Wait about 30 seconds** **6. Done!** **.** **If you use Xbox app on your windows then just disable DVR only:** **Go to Xbox app → Settings → Disable Game DVR.** **or you can disable it via registry as well:** **1. Navigate to HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR.** **2. Change the AppCaptureEnabled DWORD value to 0 to turn it off.)** **.** **For Nvidia users, DISABLE SHADOWPLAY! (or in some case uninstalling Nvidia Experience may give better results)** **.** **Disable any Overlays if you are using, including Origin in-game overlay** **.** **Unpark CPU cores with [Manage Parked CPU Utility](http://www.coderbag.com/programming-c/disable-cpu-core-parking-utility)** **.** **RAM MEMORY INFO.

Only thing that puzzles me is your global Vsync setting is on. So it should be overriding the game setting of Off you set in your ini. My guess is your running with Vsync on. But no low frame warning in the game when you go under 100 fps. Might be because of Gsync. What happens if you set your GameTime.MaxVariableFps to 200 . will it put out more then 100 fps ? ---

What happens if you set your GameTime.MaxVariableFps to 200 . will it put out more then 100 fps ? i get your point, the reason why i have Vsync on in Nvidia control panel is cause of G-Sync, Nvidia said if you want G-sync to work u have to have that option ON, that means, G-sync will overwrite vsync with g-sync technology, BUT game engine vsync has to be OFF, and yes if i have gsync disabled i have more then 100fps but i have some screen tearing so thats why am using it ---

Nothing worked for me, I tried everything but I still get 20-25 FPS, before the patch it was 80+ FPS :@. And BTW, I couldn’t uninstall the Xbox application because it’s a pasrt of the system. ---

If you have 1600 Mhz RAM, time to upgrade or OC them to 2000 mHz or 2133 if you can and watch the magic!!! ---

overclocking ram doesn’t give you any increase in gaming. the increase in latency from ram overclocking takes away any benefit you would get. I would say get the max ram speed that is officially supported by your cpu but get the ram that has the lowest latency at that speed. ---

I just did the craziest thing, I looked up the timing latency of 2133 and 2400 RAMS, Im still testing but my 1600 mHz ram is able to OC to 2133 speeds using the same timers ---
