Can anyone help me with strange Division 2 fps drops on Vega 56 please?

[$ilent]

Hi all

Having a strange issue on Divison 2 with my current setup:

I7 2600k at 4.5ghz
Vega 56 at 1600/950mhz
Windows 7 64
16gb ddr3 1600mhz
1440p 70hz monitor
Amd driver 19.1.1

Basically what happens is I'll start off ok at 70fps then I'll start free roaming and with nothing happening in game my fps will drop to 25. It keeps going up and down but I've noticed fps is at its worst when a mission is large open space or free roam.

I'm running d2 on ultra and I've tried dropping resolution scale, AA and tried running with vsync off and on. I have kept freesync on throughout.

I did try the latest 19.3.2 amd "division 2 ready" drivers but my game won't even start with this driver it just crashes on load screen every time.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Can you monitor and check your cpu utilisation during these fps drops?

Well I run msi afterburner at the same time and both cpu and gpu utilisation is good both hitting high amounts.

I will do a proper test tomorrow though and record what is happening. I don't think the dreaded 100% cpu bug is there though.

Check CPU usage, might be your 2600k showing signs of age?

Doesn't seem likely seems to be a software issue. Why would the game run intensive scenes well then when in stood on the spot in free roam fps drops

Hmm you seem to know the answer, I guess there's no need for this thread then!
