Terrible Frame Rate on Windows 10

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

Any suggestions on how to either lower the priority of or eliminate entirely the Anti-malware service? Doesn't seem to be tied to Windows Defender. I disabled that but it's still there, eating up precious resources.

Hi everyone

 

Apologies for going dark for the last few days, laptop suddenly started turning off without any shut-down sequence (Said it encountered unexpected fatal error or something)

No idea if this is related or not; i took it to some PC guys on my university campus and it seems to be working now, but they didn't give me any info on what they did or what might have been wrong with it.

 

I'll get around to catching up on these suggestions shortly

It would be nice to figure this out, I run an i7-5820K with 16GB ddr4 ram and 2 GTX 980 4GB in sli. This problem has nothing to do with hard drive read/write or cpu processing, it is how this game uses RAM, or more specifically how it isn't using it. My game runs great at 4k resolution for a few hours until ram used is at about 8 gb. Then the fps drops to 3-5. Windows shows 100% cached/used and 0 free memory. So anyone know what's the deal?

EDIT added:

Btw Arma 2 had similar problems, but instead of frames dropping to unplayable the models would all go blocky looking like OFP and game would play smooth and look like junk. I built this new PC just for Arma3 but I guess 16GB ram isn't enough. . How much ram you want Arma??!! Maybe 64GB will do the trick, or 128?

Oh I think it's the same problem.  Check out @Chevy90's Youtube video. Blocky and lots of objects disappearing.

 

Think I'm going to delete my player.cfg and start a new one as someone else suggested in another thread. Just trying anything these days.

 

--EDIT--

Deleted my player.cfg and made a new one. No joy on the memory implosion.

Yeah I'll try that, could be a good idea to do since the Apex update an old profile may cause issues.

Just a stab in the dark but have you tried with SLI disabled? Running W7 with 16GB, a single GTX980 and don't have that problem.

Another FPS impacting aspect of Windows 10 is the GameDVR functionality, and it's enabled by default with the Anniversary Update.
