Significant Frame rate degradation over several minutes

[KORH Jeff 20]

Not here to complain.  Really just trying to confirm if something is a known issue or not following the "XBox" release this week.

I need to update my hardware profile, but FYI I have an 11,500 processor and a 3070 RTX.  32Gig Ram.  

Since the release, I seem to take off fine but within minutes I get some choppiness and then a few more minutes of taking off, I literally get down to under 5-10 frames a second.  Not sure what is happening.  I've updated to the hotfix, I removed everything from the community folder before the XBox patch and the hotfix patch, etc.  My only real intent here is to see if anyone can confirm if others are having this issue and / or if this is a known issue.  I can't find reference to it here nor on the forums.  

Hoping for some validation or confirmation it's a just me issue. haha..

Thanks in advance.

Nope, don't have that issue at all on my end, even before the hotfix.

Not for me and haven’t seen any reports elsewhere like this. Although the latest hot patch mentions a memory leak for some, so…

Have you checked what other processes are doing? Sounds like something could be starting up in the background.

I have a 3070 and 32gb ram also.  Nothing like that for me either.  I do find that capping FPS at 30 works well though.

It is not a general problem, so source of this problem is on your computer. This is a typical behaviour, when computer has problem with cooling. From start it works good, but in few minutes CPU or GPU reach its temperature limit and FW decrease its power for damage prevention. So it is necessary check CPU and GPU cooler and case airflow too.

If you get the issue again, try turning off Live Traffic and see if it goes away. Was a known and recently reproducible solution to that issue.

Is this with the latest hotfix?

It's supposed to fix a memory leak. Which kind of sounds like what you're experiencing.

I had the issue 4 times in a row with live traffic.  Did what you suggested and issue appears to be resolved.  THANK YOU

I wonder if this is a recurring issue every time I try live traffic or if shutting it off resets it somehow?  I will try as I really like the live traffic idea and have the specs (I believe) certainly to support having live traffic on.  Anyway, thanks so much.

Yes even after the hotfix.
