Doom running at 10-12 fps on a more than capable machine

I recently purchased an MSI gs63vr 7rf stealth pro. 7th gen I7, Nvidia Geforce gtx 1060 6gb, 16gb ram. Any other game plays fine and i've seen plenty of others with the same machine getting at least 60fps. When I first installed it, it ran 60+fps, now it only runs at 10-12fps no matter low or high graphic settings. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the geforce drivers multiple times including updating to todays release. I've also tried reinstalling doom multiple times, manually deleting any leftover files before reinstalling as well. Other games and benchmarks do not seem to be affected.

I've seen others with this issue as well but no clear answer. I would think at least moving the video settings from Ultra down to low would increase the fps but it remains the same.

 

You should probably uninstall Geforce Experience if you have it installed, and reinstall the standalone Geforce driver. You could also give it a shot and uninstall the Dragon Center and all its sub-apps, bloatware as well like Norton

I should have also stated that I did a clean reinstall of windows 10 as soon as I got it. But I did reinstall geforce experience and dragon center as I find a few of the things on DC useful and thought that the geforce app helped optimize games. I don't understand why it played fine the first time. I did try to enable/disable vsync along with various other graphic settings. Even tried the DC overclock option but nothing changed the fps. It doesn't appear to be a gpu issue. It's odd that none of the graphical changes move the fps one way or the other in the least.

Does the geforce experience hinder performance?

 

Sounds like it's running on the Intel GPU instead of Nvidia?

 

I thought the same thing but the laptop power icon changes color when it's using the nvidia gpu or the onboard gpu and it indicated it was using the nvidia. I also selected the option to force it to use the nvidia. But it still acts like it's using the onboard it's strange. It would explain why the fps doesn't change even after changing settings.

 

GFE could sometimes interfere and tweak settings like "battery boost" (yes, sometimes it can even do it on DC power), which obviously ruins the fps no matter what in-game details you set.
Could it be a broken driver? Try installing an earlier version and see if anything changes.
I don't want to end up saying the GPU is broken

The last thing I'd do is roll Windows 10 back to the mlst stable version (usually the one that came with the laptop). I've heard the latest update is acting a bit funny on kaby lake high performance systems.

Thankfully, I know the GPU isn't broken by being able to play all other games at max setting and running 3dmark benchmarks with no problems. I've tried reinstalling the driver many times and updated it today. I will try uninstalling GFE and see if that helps things.

 

Are you running Doom in Vulkan or OpenGL? Try switching to the other API if you haven't.

 

I have tried Vulkan and OpenGL but I had thought that Vulkan was for less capable cpus

 

Well I went into GFE and turned off the overlay option and i'm back at 60fps on ultra settings.

 

Ahh, I was right about mentionning GFE before everything else. Glad it was resolved!

Appreciate the help! I wouldn't have thought it was a random setting like that that would bring the game down to its knees so badly

 

lesson: don't install GFE!

 

It's possible you were recording for capturing last-x seconds of video?

 

just a idea here I have been out of the pc seen for a bit just getting back in to it but .maybe try reinstalling direct X ?
