Huge FPS Drops and Stuttering

I feel sorry for you.
Since iGPUs are built into most CPUs, moderators who claim “It’s the iGPU’s fault!” seem to lack PC knowledge.(*There are exceptions like Intel’s F models.)

By the way, I believe the possibility that this malfunction was caused by load is extremely low.
One point is that the PC configurations reported in this thread (including mine…) have sufficient specs to play WT.
And the stuttering occurs in spikes—it doesn’t happen constantly—and even when monitoring GPU load, the situation doesn’t match up.

If the issue is caused by load, it should be reproducible using the replay, but it does not reproduce in the replay.
I also don’t use ray tracing to prioritize gameplay and play with restricted graphics settings, but even then, I still experience stutter when starting the game.
Therefore, I believe it is reasonable to assume that this update caused some kind of problem.

Sorry this got so long.

Not only the issue its bad as a whole but it got me killed countless times since the update dropped

The stutter at some specific time its an 100% death

When you connect the DGPU directly to the monitor instead of the motherboard and adjust your BIOS settings accordingly, the IGPU is entirely disabled. Under these conditions, the IGPU cannot achieve even 10-30 FPS. It seems the developers are not grasping this issue, which is concerning.

think they are running on 1 brain cell combined currently

For me it helped to clear the Nvidia Cache
Deleting NVIDIA Shader Cache files | NVIDIA

Followed the guide provided to me by Support and the issues honestly seem worse. Now they’re happening as soon as I restart the client, not even disappearing.

I grabbed a video of it (colors are washed out because I use HDR and captured with Nvidia).

this is the EXACT problem I’ve been having. Im really hoping the attention this thread is getting will make them actually do something.

Same, Started happening today when i updated Nvidia drivers and my amd drivers

This bug strongly reminds me of the crashes we used to get with old Nvidia graphics cards.
I don’t know if Gaijin’s dev team is even aware of this issue, but seeing no official announcement or fix after weeks makes it feel like a critical problem.
Maybe the current staff just can’t fix it anymore.
Cheers!

I’ve been advised to run with Anti Cheat disabled from the client. I won’t be able to test for a couple days, so if anyone is following and wants to try for themselves I wish you luck. I’ll keep my fingers crossed it helps me.

I have had some luck by uninstalling the latest AMD CPU Chipset, Going to do some more testing to see if it was a culprit

Any luck? I’m running 7.06.02.123 for my Chipset, but I’ve had that installed for a while. Before I ever began having issues. If so what’d you rollback to?

I got so sick of the lag i did a factory reset on my pc and now its performing good, I havent installed any special drivers besides Nvidia gpu ones

My issues got fixed after a released patch btw…so im out

I had a similar problem (my PC AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D • RTX 5080 GAMING OC 16GB • 64GB DDR5-6000 CL30,…). It helped me to turn off GPU acceleration on Steam (go to Steam > Settings > Interface and uncheck “Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views ,” then restart Steam). Alternatively, try turning it off in the browser and Discord as well.

I just turned it off for Discord, though I’m not sure that I’ve always had discord running when the game was. I do not use Steam to play though, I run it through the native client.

I was told to make a bug report and have done so.
