Hey guys,
I really need some help understanding this performance issue.
I recently upgraded my system and I’m running Throne and Liberty at 1080p, but I’m still getting only 40–50 FPS, and during fights the FPS drops hard with heavy stuttering and input delay — like frame spikes, not network lag.
Here’s my full setup:
• CPU: Intel i9-14900K (Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler)
• GPU: MSI RTX 5070 (newly installed, updated drivers)
• Motherboard: MSI B760P
• RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5
• PSU: 1000W Be Quiet!
• Storage: Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD
• Monitor: 1080p 144Hz AOC
• OS: Windows 11 (fully updated)
Average usage while gaming:
• CPU: 50–65%
• GPU: 60–70%
• Temps: CPU around 80–85°C (peaks to 90), GPU 75–85°C (Hotspot <100°C)
• Nothing running in the background (no browser, Discord overlay off, etc.)
I’ve already:
• Installed the latest NVIDIA Game Ready Driver
• Set the power plan to High Performance
• Disabled background apps
• Tried different graphic settings (no big difference between Low and High)
Still, I’m seeing massive FPS drops and stuttering whenever I enter combat or move the camera fast.
Any ideas? Could this be related to the CPU power limits, driver instability (5070 is new), or something else like game optimization?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions 🙏 and i posto photo of settings ingame as well.


Why am I getting only 40–50 FPS and huge stutters in fights in Throne and Liberty with a high-end setup?
