[quote]Lag spikes: from what you wrote, that sounds like your Shader Cache keeps compiling, which shouldn't happen after the very first time you launch the game after a driver update/change.[/quote] It's not the same kind of lag spikes. Even if I have been in the same area for an hour, there will be a lag spike when I cast a super or there are enemies shooting at me. [quote]Graphical glitches: black lines across the screen (like also black points or patches) may indicate VRAM overclock or overheating; is the video card clocked default?[/quote] As I said, I haven't experienced any graphical glitches since those 2 and I am almost 100% sure it was the AMD driver acting up. The card is not overclocked and the hottest temp it's ever reached is 81℃ (and that was during a benchmark). [quote]The Wind Impulse off glitch has been around since WQ, I suggest you leave the option on instead of turning off shadows, the performance impact is negligible after all.[/quote] I don't turn it off for the performance boost. I just don't like the effect. But I guess I have to live with it now. [quote]Steam, Xbox for PC or Epic?[/quote] Steam and Epic Games [quote]When the game is running, what's the percentage of GPU usage? Temps?[/quote] GPU usage is about 60% average and temps don't go above 65℃ on Low Settings (lag spikes still present) On max settings the usage is at around 85-99% and the temps stay the same. What really confuses me is the fact that the GPU only draws anywhere from 70-140W of power even though it should be drawing around 220W. And not only that, but the power draw kept fluctioating (basically in sync with the lag spikes) while I was in a Crucible match but in Orbit it's stable. [quote]Disabled ULPS in the registry?[/quote] Just did. Gonna see if anything changes. Edit: Forgot to mention that the FPS difference between max settings and everything set to the minimum is basically none. They are almost identical. Edit 2: Disabling ULPS did nothing
