Hi. my specs are gtx 1070 i7 7700 16gb ram and i play on a smooth ssd. I use firestorm and i never had issues in the past. One year ago( always with the same specs) i noticed that right after a nvidia drivers update my perfomance was degraded like it felt somehow laggy and i was achieving less fps than normal, i reverted to previous graphic card drivers and it was all smooth again. now i stopped playing for like several months and i kind of got not used anymore to playing combat on sl but when i got back on fresh windows installation (with updated drivers , all of them) and fresh viewer install ( in my case firestorm) i found again this poor perfomance in my eyes, it just feels laggy, like when i look at avatars it could drop down from 100 to 30-40-50, it wasn't like this before and it bothers me during any kind of sl combat, it just doesn't feel smooth anymore. I have already tried all kind of settings in my viewer and i don't see any real improvement . i can't play on old graphic drivers because it would lock me out of othe games i do that won't even start with old graphic drivers.i have absolutely 0 issues in any other game that i play ( really demanding games for hardware) so i'm a bit lost about what the cause might be . Honestly you know what it feelsl like? like if my graphic card was running for second life at half of its power , you know when you play on a laptop and you unplug it and it goes on battery and it kinda becomes laggy? just like that. my sl profile on my nvidia panel is set to run with highest energy consumption anyway thanks for any suggestion
