hi i have updated all my stufss and theres not more for me to update! my harddisk is a new one !

So is it amd problem? i used to use nvidia and this is the first time im using amd!

Personal experience so don't quote me. Some games just seem to have slight issues with amd gpu.

 

[Allanlee82]

did you install any asus program like gamefirst?
disable/uninstall them and try
recently i had very bad latency with diablo 3, it was due to this gamefirst program by asus, after i disable it, become very smooth

 

[herman1314]

Is the raptr app active? I remember having lag issues with my hd 7950(r9 280) on dead island when that stupid app is active.

You can try playing with the 380 but turn on task manager, see if got any background programs running and eating alot of your resources

Very stupid qns.. your cable got pluck into correct port or not?
Maybe you connected to onboard card instead.

Ya lo check hdmi got plug wrong ma, then if it's plug correctly, check your mobo bios make sure the graphic settings is using your GPu not cpu on board graphics. My msi mobo somehow by default is on board graphics then encounter same problem as you.

 

[gaoxing84]

haha I on gtx 970 sli.
also got FPS drop. suddenly lag.
on v-sync also like that
right after the dota 2 latest updates.

but right now I have RAM issue, running on 1 stick 8gb but that shouldn't be the case.
going to RMA my ram this Thursday, update here if I still experience any lag

my specs >

Does that happen only to your dota or other games as well?

 

[El Metronome]

this happens to me too. my non-expert opinion is that its just a dota 2 thing. although I won't know for sure since I don't have a spare GPU or Nvidia card to test out with.

im using r9 290x, but running on 144hz monitor with vsync off. my frame rate is consistently 100-120, but sometimes it will drop to 60-90fps, even outside of big teamfights. Heck, sometimes its just a static screen cause of the buggy directed cam mode in spectator mode, and the fps drops to 70+. no idea why too.

i have been told my gpu is overkill for dota 2 but somehow i have never been able to achieve a stable 120fps at max settings. but since my frame rate is quite high its not v disruptive to my gameplay bah.

all fps is from the 'display network information' setting in dota 2 client, btw.

 

[Goodshot]

But no matter how high the fps is , dota2 graphic still look like a 1995 game

for stability v sync should be on. also amd software allows locking the framerate if tat game doesn't already have tat option.

i wonder if u really compare a game from 1995 to dota 2, cus i bet u wun say that on dota 2 max settings

 

[Humster]

Hmmm.. it sounds like the gpu throttle itself down to save power or reduce heat.

Are you using a third PT OC program?

Well a little experiment wouldn't kill, try settling your fan speed to about 70%.

And chk your Frame Rate Target Control. Found under Graphics --> Global settlings --> Global graphics.

 

[royfrosty]

Im guessing AMD Powertune takes place.

But it is also quite hard to happen.

1. AMD powertune is like a throttling technology. There is target temperature, target clocked speed, and power consumption to met.

If TS is pushing the card then it could be the case.

Cause 380 is barely hot to begin with. Tonga based gpus are fine under 6X-70 tops.

So i suspect settings might be the cause of it.

 

[Phen8210]

TS i got a solution for you to try out.. try USE DDU to clear all your past and current VGA driver, then reinstall for ur 380.

Also you can try put -high in set launch options for dota2 in steam.

 

[Magickiller9]

try launch another game and see if it's doing so.

cs go is also not that smooth
