Graphic fps drop

[badger]

Few months ago i never had this kind of problems, but after few patches this started to happen.

Every 1 minute when i see this message in my console (ctrl-f8):

Widget 'minimap_altview' not found
Widget 'minimap_altview' not found
Server Status: Map(caldavar) Timestamp(888700) Active Clients(1) Disconnects(0) Entities(3957) Snapshots(21522) Phase(6) Match Time(00:13:00)


graphic FPS drops to 20fps, and then on another minute marker goes back to normal fps:

Widget 'minimap_altview' not found
Widget 'minimap_altview' not found
Server Status: Map(caldavar) Timestamp(948700) Active Clients(1) Disconnects(0) Entities(3964) Snapshots(21886) Phase(6) Match Time(00:14:00)

This happens every minute and i can't play because of that.

I got all of my settings on lowest possible, that doesn't help even though i ran my game on mid 2 months ago, same machine.

To find out what happens when fps drops/goes back up I started practice game and instantly on that fps change i open up my console and see that messages that i posted up there.

Help please in resolving this problem.


edit:

CPU useage is around 40% all the time for the game, no peaks, no Antivirus software running, SSD disk

Same thing happening on fresh install without any changes like addons.

Note: thing when i know when it happens is screen flickers like it refreshes a frame and it changes fps

My Graphic Card Specs

Now i see what the problem is, my GPU core, memory and shader goes down, maybe because of overheating!?? its 90 C temperature, and it shouldnt throttle if you ask me.

Is there a hidden option to turn off that throttle?

[badger]

What changed in graphics from latest patches? Before, I could normally play this game without stuttering...

[badger]

Ok, can someone break my monologue.... really, this support sucks pretty much....

90C is really high for most GPU. However, you might want to check the specs for your video card to be sure.

Go into your nvidia control panel to view/change the settings. You can access it either through the control panel or right-clicking your desktop.

However, I'm leaning on that it's probably poor ventilation on your computer. Open up the casing and vacuum it out.

[badger]

I vacuumed it out before, 0 dust remains inside. Without playing temp is 70 C.

Check that you are not throttling your system (CPU, GPU, bios, ...).

Also check all of your capacitor's on your board for bulges/leaks:

I dont throttle, it's definitely auto-throttle. Nothing there in drivers or OS to turn off that throttle.

My mainboard is fine.

I know i'm shooting blanks here, but i need an answer to a question: "What did S2 change in graphic lately so my machine cannot run hon without overheating?"

Well, the problem is obviously your GPU running hot. You are going to want to get a cooling solution. Cards running hot can be caused by several things.
1. Dust in the CPU
2. Inadequate cooling
3. Faulty card

You may want to invest in a cooling pad for your laptop. The card you have is known for running hot and it being a mobility model probably adds to the fact that it doesn't get adequate cooling.

The message your are getting in your console.log is a server message. You usually wouldn't see it, but when running a server (practice game) it will post in your console.log

Thanks on complete post there.

The question still stands:

"What did S2 change in graphic lately so my machine cannot run hon without overheating?"

I honestly doubt we changed anything that caused you graphics card to suddenly start overheating. To be completely honest, it's probably just a coincidence. Especially seeing as you are the only person to come up with overheating issues since the last 2 patches.
