I am experiencing heavy FPS drops as of late. I am playing the game for a number of years, but this was never as extreme as it is now. I tried hundreds of things digged out of even more forum threads all over the internet rooting back to several years ago, but NOTHING does change a bit. Currently running on DX9. Did a clean uninstall of Graphics Drivers (DDU) and reinstalled the latest. I checked all drivers on the system and everything is up to date. I cleared the shader cache and used the repair tool (I am on Steam, so it is called differently, but it still there, I am sure you know).
I start off with easy 130+ FPS into a game going down to about 50+ once the game actually starts and once in a while it drops as low as 10-15, sometimes even below 10. Does not matter if there is action going on or not. Sometimes it happens while just walking the map all alone (even in Training grounds). This spoils the game completly, as it (obviously) always happens in moments where you do not need it.
I do not care for 100+ FPS. I would be more than happy with 40-50 if they are stable and those 5-10 seconds running with 10-20 FPS would not ruin any fight I had in weeks.
I have stopped ANY software running in parallel. Only things active are MWO, Lasso and TeamSpeak.

Please, do not bother telling me that my system is not capable of playing the game as it is for sure. I limited the processor cores to 0, 2, 4 and 6 with lasso, but that did not help a bit. Watching the load on the cores does show that they are not even fully used. What can be seen is anyway, that the usage of the cores goes up any time the frames drop. I used the user.cfg to tweak around... with no result. I have been fiddling with this for days now and I am really sick and tired of it.
Strange thing is that I get this in the training grounds with extrem low settings (no AA) while just standig still. After a while frames just drop and in taskmanager there is nothing to be seen that could cause it. I took care to close down anything not needed.
Any usefull ideas?
