Unplayable FPS drops

I just upgraded my pc with new ram, cpu and that stuff

When playing Warthunder exactly what ypu describes happens to me too!

In game: after a while playing, the fps goes from 260- over 400 fps, then it. Drops right down to 80-50-40-20-10-5-2-0 fps… And everything freeze. Cant do anything not even exit to windows, then it suddenly works again, mabye a minute of intense lags then it is back to normal

This is ecpecially in air battles, a little less in ground battles

The strange thing is, this ONLY happens in Warthunder! Other games run just fine!!

I tried limiting the fps but the same issue happened…

There is just no other places to ask for advice on this matter… Many with the same issue but no answers :/

Another data point – the same happens to me with a fairly new system. I do use Radeon Chill to keep my normal FPS at or around 120, but 5-10 minutes into my first game of the session my FPS will drop and sound will start glitching. This usually resolves after around a minute, but it’s consistent in that it happens every time I open the client. Any games after the first of the session will not have this problem.

I’ve deleted my cache for the game, verified game files, DDU’d and reinstalled my graphics drivers, nothing seems to help.

System specs:
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
64 GB RAM
Radeon 7900 XTX
NVMe main and secondary drives
Windows 11

I have the same issue since “Kings of Battle” update. Normally i play on high graphic settings with sufficient fps, now the game drops down to 5 fps so often, that i reduced my settings to low. My game now looks like from the 90s but i still have these massive fps drops. This is not playable for me. I never had this problem in my 10 years of War Thunder

Happens to almost everyone in a round at almost the same time. Going from 140 down to 15-30 for 2-3 seconds. Playing with mates and all of us experience it within 10-30 seconds from when the first one gets the stutter. Been happening for the past week, some small update messed something up recently. Asking if anyone else is getting it in game chat will return several approvals. Never experienced such stutters in WT before.

AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 I’m using 180-220 fps, suddenly it drops to 15-30 fps for 2-3 seconds.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.11.1

There was no such problem a week ago, I didn’t even see below 180 fps

yeah me to i have had 300-400 fps but now i have 200-340 fps and fps drops in battles note that this time between these two is around 4 months and a computer that have monthly check ups should not run the game that poorly even with minimum or low medium high max or movie the same lag spike happens not any diffrence in avg fps between the settings

People are saying they’re going down to 15fps but mine seems to completely freeze for maybe 1-2 seconds and come back fine. Seems to happen once per game; every game. Started happening in the past few days.

r9 7950x; 3080 Ti; 32Gb RAM

Edit: Actually, it’s happening exactly 4 minutes into the game, at 21:00 game time.
