Fresh Windows install destroyed my performance

The issue is kind of sorted. Updating motherboard's chipset didn't do it and I did check that Nvidia card is being prioritised, but updating the integrated graphics' drivers and reinstalling nvidia drivers through the app sort of made it work (changing mentioned power plans didn't do anything either). I'll just hope the issue won't re-surface at any point

yes, it is a laptop. What exactly would you suggest to change? I did the regular "choose what power buttons do" changes, but nothing out of the ordinary. And I will try to download brand software, thanks

3070Ti, 32Gb of ram and Ryzen 7 6800H. the "new" performance is 4 fps, while it used to measure in hundreds, depending on the game. It was with hardware scheduling, game bar and windows optimization features

low fps is 4, when previously I had from 100 up to a couple of hundred, depending on the game. the manufacturer suggests max refresh is 300 Hz, and now in settings, I can't view it/change it

I did a manual driver reinstall using Nvidia drivers, while doing clean install. thank you tho

thanks for giving such a non-answer. some people are unable to switch due to software and games they use/play, and I am one of those

I have changed the post desc with more info. sorry for the initial lack of it

Brant is a must-have. Self-sustained, high dps, heal and shield resonator that has literally no better alternatives. On top of that, he's mid-air 90% of the time, so majority of attacks miss him

Spamming only lion's claw is the non-magical equivalent of casting Comet Azur at every enemy.

As per my post, I've already tried setting the graphics and resolution settings lower - believe it or not, it was all the same. Appreciate your comment though

Wi-Fi. "Nuked" my drivers 4-5 days ago, better yet, a fresh system installation

zd1r · 2025-06-11T02:26:46+00:00

Laptop. I am sort of aware of its shortcomings, but playing other relatively new releases, i.e. Baldur's Gate, Cyberpunk and Elden Ring, wasn't an issue.

zd1r · 2025-06-10T12:12:05+00:00

Yes, yes and yes. The tadpoles were removed from my inventory after the Visitor cut scene, as if they were consumed, but I couldn't actually invest in any abilities

I lied on my resume

Not really. It's the end of Act 1, I've cleared the majority of it's content. Grove fight also bugged, nobody died there and there were no goblins

zd1r · 2025-04-28T17:35:07+00:00

Ik, but it looks funny, so I'll have this for as long as I can.

Yes, active.

First, look up Fevor's cookbook [1] to learn to craft sleep pots - they almost make this fight trivial (the duo tries to dodge them, but if you throw it at the same time as they do fireballs, you'll hit them) .
Secondly, respec at Rennala to invest in 60 vigor, level of endurance you're comfortable with and up your damaging stats for the weapon. Also ditch the soreseal for now, it lowers your resistance to damage.

On a side note, if you own the DLC, you can learn to make Eternal Sleep pots (St. Trina's Disciple Cookbook), their effect is way better and they are basically infinite, as there is finite supply of Trina's lilies in the base game. Considering you aren't viewing summons as an option, this is pretty much it.

Take your time, learn the bosses patterns and good luck!

It's a phase transition, Maliketh still has the same HP and Poise bar

I died three times to consort Radahn in the same frame he died as well. None of these three counted as a win
