[li]1/4/21 - Noticed that Nvidia had released a new driver about a month ago and decided to update everything[/li][li]Updated, rebooted, relaunched Cold War to get the shaders reinstalled[/li][li]Saw my frames drop from 144 fps down to 5-12 fps, and then ultimately the game crashed[/li][li]Launched Warzone/Modern Warfare, same thing.[/li][li]After multiple ‘Safe Mode’ launches of both games, the shaders finally finished installing[/li][li]Menus and images are not fully populating, simply moving the mouse cause the frames to dip completely[/li]
- [li]If you don’t navigate the menus, showing anywhere from 20-30 fps (Still incredibly low)[/li][li]Once you start clicking and moving the mouse, frames drop entirely until the game ultimately crashes[/li][/ul]
[li]Ran ‘Scan and Repair’ via Blizzard client on both game files, nothing was found[/li][li]Uninstalled and reinstalled both games, same frame drops and crashing[/li][li]Ran DDU and installed consecutive Nvidia drivers dating back to a year ago, and testing each time to see if any were successful, same results with each[/li][li]Completely tanked all graphic settings in both games to as low as you can go, same frame drops and eventual software crash [/li][li]Monitoring software shows 0% - 1% GPU usage when running Cold War / Warzone / Modern Warfare (GPU is set to default graphics processor for both games, inside and outside of the software)[/li][li]Running other games, 90%+ GPU usage, which leads me to believe this is specific to Blizzard/COD communicating with the GPU[/li][li]Checked forums, Nvidia support sites, Reddit, no one else is having this specific issue[/li][ul]
[li]Lots of people complained about losing frames but they were all losing maybe 10-20 fps, not all of the frames[/li][li]People recommended rolling back the drivers, which I detailed above with no success[/li][/ul]
[li]System: i5-9600K 3.7GHz / 16 GB RAM / MSi Twin Frozr 7 GEFORCE RTX 2070 Super[/li]
