Hello folks
Weirdest thing. I'm playing Witcher 3 with high stable fps until I fast travelled to Velen for the first time and the fps is like 10?! doesn't matter if low or ultra graphics settings, it's just 10~11 fps.
So I check my gpu usage and its like 40~50%. Even the CPU isn't being utilized. All GPU and CPU temps at ~60c. I go to another location (White Orchads) and the fps is stable again and the gpu is at 100% as it should be. Go back to Velen, fps is back at 10.
here is the GPU monitoring -> The usage is marked in both locations. You can see that at Velen the GPU is not being utilized and that's where fps is low. I go back to White Orchard and its back to normal.
Specs: GTX 1070, i7 6700, 16gb RAM (alienware laptop, never had performance or temp issues)
Updated all drivers. tried DDU. Power settings is at high. GPU performance is high in Nvidia control panel and optimized for Witcher 3 in program settings. Played around with graphics and processing settings and nothing changed.
I can't wrap my head around what could be causing this issue. I'm using photorealistic reshade btw.
Any help would be appreciated.
FIXED!: If anyone runs into this sorta thing, my problem was a mod called True Fires. Removed it and all was well again.
Specifically, the problem was with the dlc hdworks partch which explains why the problem started in Velen. It's when the DLC is loaded. You even get the DLC (thank you for your purchase) prompt when you first head into Velen.
Thank you all for the suggestions.
