It is the game that is broken, not my configuration. Even went through some of the less idiotic suggestions online from various threads and they did exactly zero to improve the situation. * No shader cache => Nope * Shader cache, but deleted before running => Nope * 500 hz polling rate on mouse instead of 1000 hz => Nope (This was a major issue in an earlier patch I recall) * Vsync on/off, FPS Limit, etc, in game => Nope * Vsync on/off, FPS Limit on Nvidia control panel => Nope * Windowed mode => Nope * Fullscreen mode => Nope * Windowed Fullscreen => Nope * Windowed Borderless => Nope * Details Max => Nope * Details min => Nope * Rendering at 100% => Nope * Rendering at 25% => Nope, same -blam!-ing framerate as at 100% * XBOX Overlay ON => Nope * XBOX Overlay OFF => Nope * XBOX GameDVR and all that shit on => Nope * XBOX GameDVR disabled, as it should be => Nope * Game mode = > -blam!- that. * Registry setting for the Win10 Fullscreen "fake" mode => Set it to exclusive => Nope * LowLatencyMode in configuration settings at 0, 1, 2 = Nope * LowLatency (all variations) in Nvidia CP => Nope * GPU Power configuration changes => Nope * Probably a bunch of other shit that didn't do anything either. What I can see is that when the game is in idiot mode, it only runs my hardware at maybe 30-50%. When its at 141 where it should be, its higher. What _randomly_ seems to work is to alt-tab a few times and the fps count goes back to what it normally should be at, for a time - anyway.
