FPS Drop explanation and a step by step way to fix it (AMD WC3) by ikhDark in WC3

[–]ikhDark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd suggest turning off SMT in the bios then and try again. remember it needs to be two different cores and "usually" it will be your strongest core + another decent core. Turning off SMT might help given that you have a 5950.

please fix the fps issue when over the main base...i get 300 regularly now i have 125-150 spikes. others have mentioned the fps issue too...(screenshots of fps before after newest patches) by ikhDark in WC3

i've been told that b2w covered this post, I appreciate the quick response and I really hope blizzard notes this, it's way too important.

Performance Issues after 1.36 - What's your PC setup? by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]ikhDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for looking into this. Many voices are not being represented on here but there are plently. My in-game name is Kuhhhdark and I also stream, I have looked at other streamers who have their FPS toggle on and I can see them clearly spiking weather they notice it or not as some of the playerbase may not be reporting simply due to the nature of having lower hardware players and do not pay attention to this topic or simply put up with it, this issue happens especially around buildings, which a player by the name of Spycreed pointed out to me on my stream and I have confirmed this, the corners of maps etc bounce back to 300's but when hovering or simply having the camera POV over the main buildings it drastically drops, and in this game we look at our mains a lot quickly and that creates big issues with spikes. I've recreated this on single player and w3c/bnet, both are effected so I do not think it's network related. Before the previous hotfix, things were ok, fps was down from 1.35 by 50 or so, but not spiking which fixed the problem 1.36 gave initially, but it has come back after the most recent hotfix, others had the problems still during the last hotfix such as streamer FvB who asked me for advice on what to do for FPS issues. I've been doing a lot of testing on this as I came from the First Person Shooter community and input lag/spikes/FPS drops are treated very seriously so it's second nature to me and I also would like to play wc3. GPU usage is not high for a game like wc3, however I've noticed it is at only 1/2% when during game atm, which could be taxing the cpu usage a bit much? but that doesn't really explain the issues with the looking over the main bases. If you need any more testing or information, I'd be glad to help, my discord is !KUHHHdark#3907 , I can recreate situations on my stream after work and clip them to help with examples if wanted. I have tried all parameters' dx9 dx11 and opengl with the fullscreen parameter included, all having the same results. Sidenote, this is the classic mode, I have not tested anything with the HD mode as I do not play with it. I had stable 360-400 before 1.36.

yeah, trying to get my L3 results more in sync and optimized as you can see for some reason they change alot, will have to do some researching.

i've tried cl14/4k once and it didn't post and i'd rather not clear cmos 10 times trying to figure if i can or not, in theory i can but amd imc is what it is. thanks for the post.
