I have gone through every "fix". Uninstalled the game, reinstalled, "repaired", adjusted graphics settings, adjusted video card settings, updated Windows. Even the new PTS demo is lagging.

@spencerfaerber hi Spencer,

Change plan settings (if running ryzen cpu ensure that it is set to ryzen balanced power plan)
expand pci express

I completed all of your recommendations and observed the FPS during gameplay.

 

200+ FPS during loadscreens

low 7FPS high 95 During Freeplay

After about 5 minutes of gameplay, FPS raged from 10-50 FPS, spending the most time around 15-30FPS

In Fort Tarsis FPS stayed around 15FPS as I ran around

 

Attached are my usages and temp

hi @spencerfaerber 

 

what preset / ingame graphic settings are you running on?

can you take a screenshot of them for me please?

And is your Anthem installation on the HDD or SSD?

 

there is an odditiy from the screenshots you shared in the last post, although your GPU has 6GB dedicated memory the system is using system ram instead for the most part, which is slow in comparison and also not on the GPU therefore "travelling" further with the data.

 

I believe there is a setting in your intel graphics panel for setting  the dedicated GPU as the only GPU, even if it increases your power usage it should at least instruct the machine to utilize the GTX 1060 to the fullest.

 

in addition to this, can you open NVIDIA control panel and set "Max prerendered frames" to 1, and take same screenshots again, in your case you have more CPU power to ulilize and doing this step will offload some of the load of preparing frames back to the CPU instead and decrease input lag seeing as you have a 120HZ.

 

and your DXdiag is showing not only the webhelper, origin and anthem crashing but also a inpagerror which is indicative of bad sector/ failure of HDD.

To check which it is please run a /chkdsk in cmd.

 

From Command Prompt
  1. Log into Windows 10.
  2. Press the Windows key to open the Start Menu.
  3. Select Search.
  4. Type-in cmd.
  5. Right-click on Command Prompt from the search results list.
  6. Click Run as administrator.
  7. Log in as an Administrator.
  8. When Command Prompt launches, type the command: chkdsk C: /f /r /x.

and a SFC scan to ensure the windows fles and system are intact.

 

Run the System File Checker Tool
  1. Login to Windows 10.
  2. Click the Search button on the bottom left, and type command prompt.
  3. When you see the Command Prompt program listed, Right-click it, then click Run as administrator. ...
  4. When the command prompt box comes up type the following then click Enter: sfc /scannow.

Please revert with your screenshots and findings, and lets take it from there.
