Game FPS not increasing even while downgrading Graphics.

[Silent&Deadly]

So I was having weird FPS drops completely randomly, I only wanted a smoother experience, so instead of having Beautiful settings 60 FPS I thought "I'll just put it at simple and hopefully it gets better". However it didn't. The FPS stayed the same, around 60-80 FPS, and the FPS drops still occurred.
Some friends I play with complain about the same, others don't, but fun fact: Those that complain, complain at the same time. There is the rare exception where one feels a drop and others don't or vice-versa, but at least 60% of the times we do have simultaneous FPS drops.

My specs are as follows:
GP: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600k CPU @ 3.50GHz
Ram: 16GB 2400 MHz
Storage: Samsung SSD 750 EVO 500GB

I should mention even in Beautiful the game runs perfectly fine in 60 FPS constant BUT the FPS drops are there, completely random, nothing to do with terrains, players or buildings (I think?).

Has anyone ever suffered from the same or something similar in this and the last wipe?

You should go in the in-game options and lower some options like rendering distance and all that. It's definitely not all about the pre-set quality chosen when you start the game.

It depends on the scene you are rendering.

if you look at the sky, there is a lot less rendering and the FPS goes high.

go look at a grassy area with lots of trees & rocks & it slows down.
you say it is "totally random" but that is unlikely, what you see is not what is going on, if you ever get into admin mode and fly about the map, there is a SHED load of shit under the ground that has to be "removed" from the view.

Other things .. as simple as the guards in the bandit camp are WAY over engineered, they wear masks, but behind the masks they have lips teeth & tongue that all get rendered then removed.
I would think that there needs to be work on the models to simplify what is not needed BEFORE being passed down the render chain.

But do not think that just because you have a "fast" processor, that it shows the game is the problem, I happily run rust that is hardware that is almost 15 years years out of date.... if only I could fix my shitty PCIE 1.0 maybe i could hit >80FPS, i can hit >50FPS on only a 2.5GT/S

Also the mother board plays a LARGE part in the speed, I would also think maybe trying the game off an internal hard drive not SSD. SSD are NOT always what you think they are.

SSD are GREAT for unchanged reads and caching, but shite when it comes to data that is being written a lot.... ESP... once they have been used a while.

It's all as low as possible, hit around 90 FPS, still have the drops.
