Low Fps on high end pc

[The_Great_Sephiroth]

Oh, so that explains it. I kept cutting cores on the 6950X once, doing what was suggested here a year ago, and it only dropped my framerate. Now I know why, thanks. Hope the AMD guys can get a fix. The game looks phenomenal in 1440p with everything maxed out. I just sent Jugginator some screenshots. I am VERY pleased with the work The Pimps and company have been doing. Now give me some zombies doing Thriller and I'll be one happy dude.

I've been having issues with A20 as well (playing on 1440p). 7dtd never ran particularly well, but frame rates were more stable in previous releases (at least for me). The FPS drops from ~120 to 70 and sometimes even goes down to 30. I've noticed that the FPS drops are related to bigger zombie groups (horde night being the worst offender). I can usually tell when the game spawns in a walking horde during the day because the lag starts. Maybe something got changed for the worse with zombie pathing?

edit: There's also ridiculous lag while opening the inventory sometimes which I believe is linked to the game saving stuff. At least the console messages indicated it.

edit2: I can provide logs but I can't seem to upload them here (yet?)

I doubt it's my system, but here it is for context:

Core i7-8700K  @4.2

RTX 2080Ti

32GB RAM

Win10

everything on SSDs...

Don't feel bad, I am running your same exact setup. My 8700k is pushed to 5ghz all core and the 2080ti is +125 clock and +800 mem. It is stable and can play anything on the highest settings in 1440, but I have the same lag spikes you have. I can press tab sometimes and it will hiccup for half a second and even the music skips in that time. I have to turn off the lights in the killbox on hoard night just to get to 60ish FPS. I am not knocking the game or developers at all, but I figured a game this "old" and a setup this "new" I could consistently keep 60fps on ultra. World of Tanks on ultra is pushing over 200fps minimum, but that is all I can really compare it to somewhat apples to apples.
