Forza Horizon 3 fps drops after some time

[Hugo Orlando]

Hello, I bought this game yesterday and when I start playing fps are 60-70 and after some minutes playing it drops to about 30-26. I have a gtx 980 i7 4790k and 16gb ram. Thanks.

Is it happening all the time, or in some specific areas/levels?

 

[Hugo Orlando]

It happens always when I have already played some minutes. It can be 2 minutes 30 or 1 hour. My cpu temp is at max 55C and my gpu 62 at max.

 

[Hugo Orlando]

It is the only game where I experience that.

The last time it took 2 minutes to drop from 94 to 26

On which Windows do you play?
The game seems to be badly optimized, especially for GTX 970, and GTX 980—Just typed FH3 and a whole lot of 'FPS DROP!!! PLZ HELP!!!' posts started to hit my face.

Are you sure that your gpu is at 100% performance ( check with msi afterburner)
and this could be a settings issue , you need to tweak them up to optimal .

I have already tweaked those settings and it is still the same. I play on windows 10. I have msaa off and i have tried vsync on and off and nothing changes.

Have you tried disabling/removing Xbox App?

Have you tried disabling/removing Xbox App?

Just tried it and after getting into photo mode and going back to gameplay mode it dropped from 60 to 26. So it did not help.

What do you suggest?

 

[Gahl1k]

Have you done the 'performance patch'?

 

[Hugo Orlando]

Have you done the 'performance patch'?

It is up to date, I dont know what else to do :/

I have to restart the game everytime this happens.

I know how frustrating that could be. Well, let's see if this might work:

1- Launch the game, and press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, then select Task Manager;
2- Right-click on the game, and select Go to details;
3- Right-click on the game, and select Set Priority, then select Low, after that right-click the game again, and select Set Affinity;
4- Uncheck CPU0, close Task Manager, then return to the game.

Nope, It is still the same. Any other ideas, please?

Do you have Dynamic settings on?

 

[Hugo Orlando]

Do you have Dynamic settings on?

No, the game turned it off automatically to tweak advanced video settings.

Try to enable it manually. Some people mentioned it helped greatly, although it would make some places graphically worse than others.

Ok, I will keep you updated.

Sorry, but it did not help. When the fps drops to 25 It will stay at that number forever unless I restart the game. Any other idea?

I honestly don't know. Well, I suggest doing the primitive solutions like re-seating your GPU, and wiping your GPU drivers using DDU, then installing the latest driver, and launching the game as administrator.

One more question: Have you noticed anything unusual in your Task Manager (something like high CPU usage, or a specific core)?

Yes, when i closed the game i noticed that one core went to 100% and the others were at normal usage. I do not think that re-seating my gpu would help, since this is the only game where i experencie the permanently fps drop. I have reinstalled the drivers with DDU and nothing.

Which core is that? Try unchecking it in affinity settings of the game in Task Manager.
