Well, I’ve got unchanged news, and, either just plain useless information, or, maybe something good…?
I did uninstall Zwift, and went through all appdata folders, and even registry, did the deepest cleaning of any software I’ve ever done…
No change on the workout blur effect, still definitely there, and definitely unchanged.
Frame drop issues; happened again.
I was doing Sweet Spot Ramps (50ish minutes), on the Makuri Harbor map, which actually ended up being pretty perfect for me with 3 laps to do some testing.
The bad news on the frame drop issue, is that it’s inconsistent in terms of location in Neokyo… so sadly no easy problem here.
The potential good news after reviewing, since I had task manager open and running, and was grabbing screenshots whenever the frame drops would happen.
Like I mentioned, my 3070 is pretty bored, and had noticed it being pretty low use.
When the frame drops occur, it looks like my CPU is actually transitioning to another core.
One core always seems to be at 100%, but the picture I’m going to put up here seems to show a different story, something is causing it to send another load off to another core/thread.
During that phase, it’s definitely making far less GPU calls, as of course, frames halve themselves, and looking at this task manager screenshot (and the very blurry workout effect), my GPU also shows that pretty significant load drop as well.
Unfortunately, like I said, it happened in 3 locations looking 3 different ways, so I’m going to assume it’s nothing to do with Neokyo itself graphically.
Last little addition; I have still ONLY done workouts, I have not done any free rides yet, which I will do that tomorrow night to see if there’s any unusual relation there.
Unfortunately I don’t have anything that actually is showing Zwift’s framerate, so I’ll make it a point next time to get something for that as well.
