Install Evga Precision X if you don't have it already. Click "Voltage" and enable K-Boost. Basically what it does is make your video card(s) run at 100% all of the time. Even in 2-D mode on the desktop. For some reason, enabling it keeps me at a constant 60fps where at times I would be dipping into 30-40fps. Let me know if this works for you as it's working spectacularly for me.

Optional: If you're running a 750TI 760 770 780 780Ti 970 980 you can overclock to my settings with ease. Raise your offsets to 200/300 and hit apply. It's a very high overclock but the cards I listed should be able to do it with ease.

Note: This will probably reduce the life of your video card(s) as the cards are running at 100% all of the time. Best to disable it after a gaming session.

Testing.

Edit: Did not work for me I am afraid.

Make sure you double check clock speeds after enabling it to make sure it's working. Sometimes it will not work and you'll have to disable then enable.

Its all useless) trouble not in gpu...Trouble in bad optimisation...U know it, and i know...and everybody know... about the bird. B-b-b-bird bird bird it is a word b-b-b-b-bird bird bird it is a word!...

armament your 780ti at stock everything wont even breath hard in mwo on very high settings atleast it shouldnt. cpu is a whole other story, but you have more then adequate cpu.... Dark from your post in other forms try and OC your cpu a little further it will help, and put particles to low.

Didn't notice my 780 to go dipping.
Though I use evga's tools to overwrite my oc targets on the GTX and the refresh rate on my LCD to something higher.

But if it's particles that's causing the slowdown(steam when overheating, smoke from LRM's) then that's a bug in coding somehow they introduced a while ago.
Particles is also more a cpu hog, well in theory.
This game runs fine on my i5 at 4Ghz, and 780, with everything cranked up. Except particles.

I can confirm slowdown on overheating smoke, and lrm smoke, HUGE SLOWDOWN. im on a i5 3570k OC to 4.1 and my Nvidia 750TI. Started happening a few patches back when they said they offloaded the smoke and stuff clientside from serverside. I wish for a fix somehow or a tweak to turn down particle rendering.

Keep in mind that the FPS is more CPU bound than GPU bound in MWO. I'm running a 770 and get upwards of 120 fps (CPU is older processor... i7-4820K running stock @ 3.6 gHz). 120 fps makes my card run hotter than I like so I have vsynch enabled to hold it to 60 fps. Dropped the temp on my card about 35 deg F. and had no detrimental visual affect.

EDIT: This is on MWO HIGH setting, one level below max.

the fix for me was to turn particles to low in advanced settings ingame.

Sometime the FPS drop happens if you tab out to go into a browser. The card still thinks you are in 2d mode so GPU use drops to 50%. Running in windowed mode helps prevent this I also find that it happens less on mozilla then IE.
