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.

so i have dxvk (direct x to vulkan translator)
in the login menu i have 180 fps (186 fps) in the character select i have 90 fps (93 fps) in the game world i have 60 fps (62 fps) i hope you see the pattern first thing i would do is go to your eqgame comparability and remove the comparability for what ever windows version you have it set to next check your dxdiag for problems next check your gpu manager program and add what ever profile you need for eq to be managed by the game not your program as the game is built to have an in game frame limiter remove your limit to 60 fps and just let it run its normal speed or fps problem should go away | ||

Appreciate you tryin to help xiax.
I took your suggestions and turned compatibility mode off for eqgame.exe. Just unchecked the box and did so for all users as well. I ran dxdiag from an Admin terminal and it reported no issues. I went into the Radeon software and set everything back to default globally and removed eqgame as a game that I could adjust settings for. Any option that allowed 'unless application specifies' I turned on. I noticed dxvk can work on windows. So, I downloaded it and followed instructions via readme, writeups and youtube. WinEQ2 did not like D3D9.dll and prompted me to remove it, but would boot the game anyway. Client would crash after logging in and hitting 'Play Everquest'. WinEQ2 would also complain about not having an entry point in one of the dlls, boot anyway, and crash after hitting 'Play Everquest'. This happened on both the x32 and x64 versions of the files. Running the game without WinEQ2 and just clicking it from the directory would error out about an entry point also. dgVoodoo2 would give similar issues. However, when entering the game with dgVoodoo2 running, text would appear as blocks and textures would be 1 solid color. All the while still running at 33FPS

so wineq2 and dxvk dont work since wineq2 needs directx to respond back with status messages
dgVoodoo2 needs a fresh install of the game since you are mixing directx and opengl dxvk replaces directx so both cant be installed at the same time the other replacement is wined3d | ||

uninstall your drivers from the device manager and reboot
then install your manufacture's driver's, probably in safe mode reboot with your windows you got some kinda of limiter for what ever reason running sounds like your drivers were never fixed | ||

Thank you! I had the same problem. I took a break for a couple of months and when starting the client I had low fps. That setting brought me back into business. I had to update my nvidia drivers because my old version didnt have the "set max fps" setting. Works!

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!
