Resolving Lost Ark Frame Drops
PvP combat in Lost Ark was unplayable due to severe stuttering. I tried rolling back the driver, but it killed the visual effects. I used GamePP Frame Time Analyzer to spot the issue with driver 472.12. I updated to 473.11. Frame generation time converged to 7-9ms via RivaTuner. GPU temp stabilized at 65-70℃. Shader compilation took 20 minutes per System Log. This update completely fixed the performance bottleneck for me.
