System Specs: - Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7 - CPU: i7 6700k - GPU: MSI 2070 super - RAM: 16 gigs DDR4 - Storage: 500 gig SSD - OS: Windows 10 So for a while now I have averaged under 144 fps, and normally I would be okay with this if my system was doing the best it could, but that ain't the case chief. At the beginning of season of dawn there was a bug that caused PC graphics settings to reset every time the game started, and after I would change my settings I would notice that my fps would change all that much compared to the highest settings. I looked in MSI afterburner and it turns out that both my CPU and GPU don't go over ~60% usage in game. What I have tried in order to fix it: - checking that I have enough RAM (Destiny 2 doesn't use more than 40% of my RAM) - checking temps (CPU and GPU don't typically ever go above 50 degrees C even under load) - changing my power settings to high performance (I was already doing this before discovering the problem, but hey it doesn't hurt to check) - selecting "prefer maximum performance" in the nvidia control panel (I was already doing this as well) - undocking my CPU cores w/ CPU core parking manager (This made the CPU usage ~5% higher. Honestly I'm not sure it actually did anything) - reinstalling/updating drivers (this obviously didn't work bc I'm here rn) - updating windows (I keep windows up to date, so this isn't the issue. However, it is possible that the current version of windows is contributing to the problem) I can't figure out how to fix this issue. Another important note is that it is a problem exclusive to Destiny 2. I checked a few other games such as r6, Minecraft w/ shaders, and The Witcher 3 with unlocked fps and my CPU or GPU would max out to get the best fps. Furthermore, I ran MSI Kombuster and my GPU had no problem maxing out. At this point I'm pretty confident that Destiny 2 has a problem with its engine or something in its code that throttles the GPU & CPU at high fps. If you find a solution to this, please help; this is driving me crazy.
