Severe frame drops and lag (3440x1440, i9-9900K OC, RTX 3080 Ti) – Not consistent, but unbearable
Hello there,
I’ve been playing PUBG since launch and never had performance this bad. Lately, I’m getting severe frame drops—from a steady 130 FPS down to 30-40 FPS—along with noticeable game lag.
What i find weird is that, my CPU (i9-9900K OC) is only at 40-55% load @60°C, and my GPU (RTX 3080 Ti, slight OC) is at 60-80% load @70°C (1000W corsair PSU). I’m running everything on High/Ultra, fullscreen, no V-Sync, no in-game FPS limit (only 60 FPS in menus) at 3440x1440.
The issues aren’t constant—they come and go—but when they hit, the game is unplayable. I’ve got 32GB RAM, so that shouldn’t be the bottleneck. This is on my main rig, and I’ve never seen it this bad before.
Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is this a known issue, or am I missing something obvious? Any help or insights would be appreciated.
