I recently updated my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics driver and suddenly my fps was below 40 where before it was always 50-60. Now, this wasnt the only game that I had noticed a weird lag issue for me... playing Fortnite, my fps was CRAP and normally I stayed at 60 (my settings in game was for 60fps). I knew it had to be the update on the graphics diver.
So, in TLOPO, I was triple checking that I had V-sync turned off.
Tested things with Custom Display settings, Anti-aliasing and Filtering under the Advanced settings for Display.
Then I started looking around for things in the control panel for NVIDIA.
First off, the GeForce Expierence will NOT recognize TLOPO, so you can't log in there and change settings for the game. Therefore, I had to open the NVIDIA Control Panel itself.
To find this on PC, in the search bar type Control Panel, and then open.
Select Hardware and Sound.
Select NVIDIA Control Panel.
A new window will open looking something like this:
Under 3D Settings, Click on Manage 3D Settings, and you'll see this:
On the right side, select Program Settings tab. Look for TLOPO. If you do not see it, click on Add and look for it listed there:
Click the Add Selected Program button at the bottom of that window. It will close and now you can customize the settings for that game for your NVIDIA driver.
Here is what I've changed on mine so far and I suggest that you do the same to get the max FPS you can for your device:
Max Frame Rate, select On (Use Global Setting is auto selected) and change the FPS bar to whatever level you want. I have mine maxed out.
Scroll down for the next changes...
OpenGL rendering GPU, change to YOUR graphics card listed there (Use Global setting is always auto selected).
Vertical sync (yes this is V-sync just like the option in game, and no need for it here either), select Off (Use Global setting is always auto selected).
WhisperMode... THIS is what was causing me to stay under 40fps on all games, which caused me a lot of lag..... Not happy with this option with the NVIDIA driver update.... It should be set to 40fps, CHANGE THIS. As you can see, I maxed mine out.
WhisperMode description:
I just wish that I could max this out as far as the Max Frame Rate.
Do not forget to click apply to all the changes you've made. Play around with your settings and adjust them however you like. If you play other games on PC as well and they are being affected by these issues, you may want to apply similar changes to those games.
After my changes, I have over 100 fps at the avatar chooser screen, just under 60 fps standing on an island, over 30 fps on the busy Tortuga, and I NEVER drop below 20 while fighting among a lot of people. I still have to mess around with my settings and test other things out.
Good luck. Post any info on what you've changed. I hope this helps. Keep in mind you have to have a NVIDIA graphics card to use this step-by-step.
