Terrible FPS dips League of Legends RTX 2080

[r_dettling]

So, as the title says. I play league from time to time with the wife and recently I noticed my fps dropping from 400+ to 90+ and everywhere in between. I've tried to cap my FPS at 120, helps with jerkiness of the ups and downs but it does not stay locked there. It'll go all the way down to 80+. I've reinstalled drivers, reinstalled the game and even did a reinstall of Windows... why not.

What is the full system set up?

What is the full system set up?

i5-8600K + RTX 2080, 960 EVO, 16 GB DDR4 2666, EVGA 850watt G3

I do not notice this in any other game. I played the buggy Anthem Demo and my frames were solid.

It could be caused by server lag or game optimisation if its not happening in any other games.

"Low FPS and lag sometimes show up at the same time, complicating things. For example, if you’re playing a massively multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG) and your character is standing in a major city with hundreds of other characters running around on your screen, you may experience both low FPS and lag. The lag occurs because the server is struggling to keep up and slowing down with so much happening in one place at once, while the low FPS is a result of your computer struggling to draw all those characters on your screen at once.

In this case, low FPS and lag have the same cause – more people than the game can handle in one place at the same time – which may confuse some gamers into thinking they’re the same thing. But they’re not – the large number of players is causing both performance problems on your computer (low FPS) and network issues (lag)."

So basically nothing I can do about it.

No, its not right, you shouldnt be getting that. Does it happen in any other games?

 

[r_dettling]

Nope. I can run Destiny 2 at 144fps maxed out and stable. I could run Anthem at a stable 144fps and BFV 5 stable at 60fps with Raytracing at Ultra.

Alright, try disabling vsync and fps cap in league.

Go into Nvidia control panel and force league of legends on the program profile to use maximum performance. I suspect its just going into a lower power state due to the low usage league of legends has.

same thing happened with my rtx 2080 in league of legends in team fights maybe the fps would go under 10. I just updated windows and the bios of the motherboard and this fixed it. Also i was able to play heavy and new titles with no problem.
