I noticed a similar issue with framerate effectively capping at 37 when I upgraded to Win10 build 2004. I reverted back to 1903 and I immediately went back to 60fps.

How do I try and revert back? My apologies I am not very good with computers. Is there any way you can describe how I could do that?

getting drivers from your manufacturers website is a better idea then downgrading windows which you will most likely not be able to do

drivers you get from windows are not the same drivers from your manufacture
manufacture drivers will always be better

and what game you are playing meaning nothing to your gpu if you have manufacture drivers
i said rollback your drivers "assuming" you have them in the first place

software doesn't make your gpu better

I was hoping Skarne would come back and update this, as I too have a 5700XT that caps out at 33-34fps when playing P99. I tested out EQ2 and was able to run it on Extreme, getting more than 60FPS in certain areas. Busier areas tend to dip FPS but it proved to me that the card can handle more than 33fps.

I had built a new computer a few weeks ago, upgrading CPU from FX-8670 to Ry 9 and the GPU from an R9 390 to the 5700XT with new mobo/psu/m2. P99 would cap at 60FPS on the 390, no issues with P99 framerate there.

I tried WinEQ and messing with the foreground/background FPS Limiter. It solved the background issue where Alt-Tabbing out of the game would cause the game to run at 9-10fps in the background, with WinEQ, it will stay at 33-34FPS in the background. But it doesn't unlock the foreground FPS.

Attempted to lock the CPU Affinity to 1 core, didn't solve anything. Tried hard locking AMD Chill to 60FPS and enabled/disabled Anti-Lag, didn't solve anything. Game recognizes the card in the Advanced settings. Utilized manufacturer drivers for all parts. Did upgrade windows to the 2004 version, build 19041.508. Messing with alternate resolutions/Hz windowed/fullscreen. It will go up to 65FPS in the char select screen, but once into the game, its a solid 33FPS. I use GPU Tweak II to monitor FPS, but do not manually overclock any parts.

Holy crap. The Max Frame Work update to 60 worked from me! I was tired of the low FPS everywhere... I logged on my wife's computer who has a GTX 980 and it ran at 60fps non stop... then mine was 32. Changed this to 60 and BOOM! Thank you guys so much!

Silly question, but how one check at what FPS is P99 running?

Not too silly. With NVIDIA crap, you can do ALT + Z when opens the new GeForce Experience crap and enable the FPS counter that way.

I use RivaTuner and MSI Afterburner, personally.
