Performance regression

I assume my amd cpu is a bottleneck, and I had expectations for announced 'performance improvements'

upper right graph is FPS
bottom window is MSI afterburner GPU load graph
I have 2-40 fps on dried lake while standing afk with avg gpu usage - 30%

The thread was moved.
I don't need tech support.
All I need is GPU utilization.

amazing patch.

CPU (~50%) & GPU (~30%) loads are still the same, but before the 2.5.2 patch i had 50-60 fps in my hideout. I've now 25-30.

I've just opened a map to see if the perf are really that bad, and they're. Waterways after killing a bunch of mobs (i've at least my fps divided my 2 if not more) :


Conf : Core 2 Quad Q9400 @2.67Ghz, ATI 7870 2Go, 8Go Ram, WIn7 x64.

Edit @Henry_GGG (Below) : Dxdiag sent by pm.
Edit² : I just tried Dx9Ex for science, i've flat 60 fps in my hideout. So smooth in maps, almost better than dx11 strangely atm (from before the current patch obviously). I'll stay in Dx9 Ex version for now i guess.

@Henry_GGG
Same issue here...the game is unplayable.
I'm tried dx9, dx9ex, dx11 without luck.
Before this patch I was able to play smoothly in dx11...now, as I cast 2-3 spells, or in burning maps for example, my fps drops to 1-2...
I can send you my dxdiag if needed.

My rig is:

Phenom II x6 1055t
AMD HD7950 3g
16gb ddr3

I am having the same issue with stuttering while using Dx11 after path 2.5.2. Sent my DxDiag info by PM.

Also someone had the theory that the problem is with Windows 7 users.

I am currently using Windows 7, are you guys as well?

Please fix this as Dx11 used to run so much better than Dx9.

I'd wonder if it's related to this;

• These gains only improve performance if you were previously bottlenecked by the speed of your CPU (rather than graphics card).

Bex mentioned this requiring Constant Buffer Offsets, which may not be supported by your system.

I'd guess that anyone else adversely affected by the "performance improvements" in the patch should also stop using DirectX 11 until GGG can deploy a fix for the issue. I'm curious if it's only / mostly Win7 users having this problem... if so, that would add some weight to the theory.

Windows 7 here, too.

Not even constant 60 fps while STANDING in my hideout atm.
And it contains nothing but my masters and crafting benches.

i5-2500K @ 4 Ghz
980 Ti OC

(playing in 4K but GPU utilisation in hideout is almost zero)

I posted about this issue with Windows 7 earlier.
