When I first downloaded Payday 2 I had an amazing frame rate on ultra, but now I have been only getting 15 frames per second no matter what settings.
I also have the latest drivers.

Specs
i5 2400
R9 270x
4GB 1600 RAM
 
Solution


I think I found a solution. It looks like the game may be locking the framerate to 15fps. Read this thread HERE Post #174 and onwards especially.

Please download HWmonitor HERE, install and open. Then run the game for a bit, exit out and post a screenshot of the HWMonitor app.

I changed nothing I just got after playing different game, then suddenly my frame rate was staying low every time I played the game.

If you restart the computer and only open payday does it still stay at 15fps?

Have any other games shown this type of slowdown?

No, only Payday 2. I have been running Battlefield 3, Battlefield Hardline, Borderlands 2, and Tomb Raider at good settings.

I have not been getting 15 fps but ever since the last update on some maps my frame rate is choppy especially on a white xmas. I am wondering why this is as I have an R9 290X that runs battlefield 4 at above 60fps on ultra
