Sylen, the issue lies within the scope that i've already posted; my buddy that plays on the server is getting 70+ frames per second and only drops down to mid 50's while in the city , and he's using a 3070 stock with only 16gb of ram...

Fox... I totally forgot that when I built this computer, I did a small or moderate overclock on the RAM and CPU in the bios. Of course the bios downclocks the ram for compatibility purposes.. The ram is showing a DRAM frequency of 1600mhz in CpuZ... If I do recall correctly, that means my ram is running at 3200Mhz - which is what it is rate for. I overclocked my AMD Ryzen 7 5700G from stock 3.9GHZ to 4.4GHZ just by upping the multiplier in the bios.... Cpu has never crashed... updated windows, uninstalled GEFORCE EXPERIENCE made sure that Vsync isn't enabled in the nvidia control panel. Still running 30fps while in cities in 7dtd... i'm convinced the slow fps is due to the fact that i'm hosting my own server and playing at the same time with 2 other players... what else could it be?

- I disabled VSYNC, no difference. - my frame rate drops to 30 when i'm in cities mostly... my base is the most basic of a 8x8.. with nothing in it.. i just started the game, wiped old game, restarted client. - Can't update windows because it's a copy/pirated version because I refuse to pay for an operating system. - all reflections are off/ shadows are low. ssao disabled. bloom disabled. - i'll try uninstalling geforce game experience and put an exception on my antivirus.. My specs are: AMD Ryzen 7 5600 @4.2 GHZ 8 cores/16 threads. EVGA RTX 3080ti 32 GB Ram 2TB SSD I haven't overclocked ANYTHING. I tried going down to 1920x1080 settings, max everything - no change in FPS I tried 1920x1080 low settings - no change in FPS checked my GPU while running in MSI Afterburner - 65 degrees, not struggling at all. seems like my GPU can handle the 3840x2160 no problem - as the fps doesn't change no matter if I have the game run in 1080 or 2160! outside the city, game goes back up to 50+fps inside the city average 30FPS, sometimes 24-29FPS so I don't think the card is to blame here guys..... keep the suggestions coming... like I said before, I can run Hell Let Loose on ultra settings and the only problem with that is my GPU heats up to 90 degrees while running it, so I have to run my GPU fans on 100% when playing it... Playing 7DTD - my temps never go past 65 with 50% fan speed..

here is the logfile from last night https://filebin.net/jlszkhe10xht6hp6

we are both playing at 4k (3840x2160) and my friend is getting wayyy more fps then me... 4k is not the issue!

hey there, was on day 75, and noticed my FPS would drop to mid 20's when near my base.. Did an alt-tab and noticed that 7DTD was using 8gs of ram! Thought I had a memory leak (due to having the my client-based game sever run for many months) and decided to start a fresh game (random gen alpha 20 b6)... game started out fine, 60fps solid. I just downloaded the Geforce game experience game ready driver that came out 2 days ago, installed it and opted to use 'optimal settings for 7DTD through the Nvidia 3d settings... periodically, my FPS would drop to high 40's, low 50's. right on day 1. I alt-tabbed out and noticed that now the game was using 9GB of memory! more than before when I was on day 75 with much, much more stuff built. I turned off motion blur, SSAO, sun shafts, set shadows to medium, reflections to low, bloom to low, and everything else to 'ultra' Still same problem, 80% of the time full FPS of 60, occasionally it would drop to 48-52 with a little bit of stuttering. Now here's some variables, Hosted a client based server, and invited 2 friends to play with me, my wife, who is playing on her laptop (same house), and a friend who lives far away. (we live in Peru, he lives in Texas,) My friend in Texas is using a EVGA 3070, and says he has every setting maxed out, and he is consistently getting 74-75 fps (he is using a gaming monitor with 144hz, while i'm using a LED tv with a max refresh rate of 60hz). I asked him what his specs are, he has a similar processor AMD 7 series . he only has 16GB of ram, I have 32GB he has 3070, I have 3080ti my question is why is he able to run max settings with no problems and I have to lower mine? He has a crappier video card then me, and LESS ram... I paid $3000 US for my video card and it can't even run this 10 year old game on max settings? I play Hell Let Loose which has far superior graphics on max settings no problem! some thoughts: maybe because i'm running a server as well as playing on my dedicated machine and he isn't? maybe because i'm playing on a 50" TV and he is playing with a high end monitor?? I don't know what the variables are to make my frame rate drop so much.. all my drivers are up to date... what else could it be?
