FPS cyclical drawdowns (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)

maybe something with RAM

attacking_beaver
During the game, did you check the temperature and workload of the video card with the processor? Maybe overheating is going on and therefore the jumps are like that.
And what about RAM, do other games or high-capacity applications have freezes?

I'll ask a stupid question, what kind of power supply do you have? It's just that the 760 and 970 have a different power consumption, the card may not be enough, but it will work at the same time (40 percent)

The 970th compared to the 760th has 25 watts less energy consumption, 145 versus 170.

It looks like there is not enough RAM and the game will be swapped to disk. Check if there are any malware eating RAM hanging in the background, and test the operative itself. As an option, the read / write speed of the screw on which the swap file hangs has dropped dramatically, so it's worth checking it too.

Install MSI afterburner, During subsidence, look at the workload of the video card (graph), if it jumps, you will not do anything. For some (for me) at this moment it crashes altogether. I also noticed that if you press Alt + Enter (already in the game), the fps rises by 10-ok.

Come on? It depends on which ones, the author did not name a specific brand

here is 760 for 170 watts

but 970 for almost 250 watts

I'll get better, I compared the MSI brand, since I myself use only their cards, for more than five years now and so far without any complaints.

145 and 170.

Don Juan,
I don’t deny that it’s so, I’ll just repeat that the author did not name exactly which model he replaced with which one, but as you can see, problems due to power supply can be

Duck and I do not argue with you)

MSI graphics card was ASUS. In other games, everything is fine, there are no freezes, no crashes, no freezes.

tested MSI afterburner. during subsidence there is a failure in the graph of the GPU load and the GPU core frequency. the temperature is even, not more than 65 degrees.

ps and one more thing, there are no drawdowns in windowed mode. but since there the FPS is much lower than in the full screen, it is not pleasant to play.

for the sake of interest, I measured the time after which drawdowns occur, exactly every minute.

Okay, I realized, hardly anyone will help because the problem is too incomprehensible. I myself have tried a lot of things - zero sense. the question is different: what is the difference between the windowed mode and the full-screen mode from the point of view of resource use, because there are no such sagging in windowed mode. maybe if you find out what the cardinal difference is and the reason will be clarified.

We did not try to deliver the maximum performance in the video driver.

tried it. as for the settings, I've probably already tried all the combinations

solved the problem. since the decision turned out to be unexpected, it is unlikely that it will help anyone, but still I will write. I had the unhackme program in my tray, recently I was cleaning the computer from the mail agent and other bugs, and so this program just constantly started up along with the axis. and every minute of the campaign she spent a scan due to which drawdowns occurred, but only in the witcher.
