Low FPS in editor on high end PC

Hello!

I have a very strange problem, I have low fps in editor on a high end PC. But the thing is, if I tab out for about 5 sec and then back into the unreal engine I have stable 120FPS, until I like adjust a static mesh or change in the lighting settings for example.

Usually when I wanna show my work to friends, I do this workaround (Press play, tab out 5sec and then in) and can go around in my world with 120fps… but I want 120 stable fps all the time, not just wanna do this workaround so I can show off my work in good fps.
I wanna be in the editor and have over atleast 60FPS. I’ve been editing in 20-40FPS for 2 months now.

Specs:

CPU: 8700k 3.7ghz

GPU: 1080ti

RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz

Other:

M2 SSD 500GB

And yes, I’ve tried to reinstall.

Yeah, i notice this too on my 1070, this was after the latest nvidia driver down load, nothing else major was running, it was just the one instance of unreal. it would go back to normal after a second then back down. Might just roll to the Microsoft drivers if it continues. (the one that windows will install if it cant find anything else)

Hello Sanderat,

Try disabling the nvidia overlay in geforce experience.

Hope that helps!

I’ve had this issue for months and disabled the overlay as you said and it now works flawlessly! You are an absolute lifesaver!
