Question for fellow PC players

Has anyone else noticed a significant drop in average framerate after this patch? I was at a constant 90 at 4k yesterday but now it barely stays above 60 fps at 1440p.

    Haven’t been able to play today yet. Probably will be on tonight and see.

    I play on a 60Hz, and have the framerate locked to 60fps.

    Usually my GPU takes around 30W on most maps, however now it needs 33-35W to achieve the rame 60fps.

    This update definetely is a huge tank to my performance.

    I have a decent PC and i get framedrops every time a survivor vaults. Every other patch they ######### up performance somehow.

    After reinstalling the game I saw my fps improve but it is still nowhere near the previous performance; I can now hit my 90 fps cap at 1440p but 4k is still a no go. I would assume this is really frustrating for people who don't have as powerful of a pc and I hope they fix it quick.

    I'm curious why would you want to run at 90 fps?

    Yep since last update. Although nothing game braking.

    I run at 90 fps because my monitor is 75hz overclocked to 90 hz. @jaredlxxiii
