Windows 10 Windows 10 - Patch 1607 Dropped my frame rate in EverQuest

[JeremiahStillings]

I have an issue with FPS in Everquest after latest windows patch.

I have tried 2 Video cards over the past week with windows 10 version 1607 patch installed

Machine 1 Desktop

Windows 10 1607

AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7 3.10GHZ with the Onboard video disabled.
Per instance of memory used. 1.4 Gig

Ram 16 gig

Video Driver version: 372.90
Geforce 1060 GTX - Buff pile in pok - 10 FPS
Geforce 750 GTX - buff pile in pok - 8 FPS

Machine 2 – Laptop

Windows 10 1607

AMD A10-7300 Radeon R6 1.90GHZ

Driver version: 15.201.1101.0
Per instance of memory used. 1.4 Gig
Ram 8 Gig

ATI R6- Buff Pile in pok - 4 FPS



Machine 3 Desktop
windows 10 version 1511


AMD FX series 4300 3.8 GHZ with ATI 3000 built in video

Per instance of memory used. 1.2 Gig

Ram : 4 Gig

Driver version: ATI 8.970.100.9001
ATI 3000 built in video- Buff pile in pok- 20 FPS

While not great this is totally playable while my other machines are not.


Clearly the 1607 patch dorked something up, because a Geforce 1060 GTX is a way better card then a ATI 3000.
