Wanted to post here because the only problem is with ATS. My graphics are fine in the day with a few spikes when loading large cities initially... But when I turn on parking or headlights, I get a drastic frame drop that makes it near unplayable. This is without graphics mods, and does the same with stock scs trucks as well as mods, and with no traffic around to jam my shit up. I don't want to lower my graphics to the point it look like Hard truck 2, but this is ridiculous. My PC, to my knowledge should be more than enough to handle this, right? I posted here because this has to be an ATS specific problem. I even have my settings on medium to low levels... I can't pull any more FPS out of this game with the headlights on.
AMD FX 6300 six core - should be well over requirements. AMD Radeon R7 200 series card - one step above my last one that ran Battlefield 3 just fine on mid-high settings which should be much more intensive than ATS... 4GB ram - Could it help to have more, I wonder? that's a fairly low number, but it doesn't appear it's all being used during gameplay.
Or is it just shitty coding from SCS?
AI headlights don't drop my rates at all. Only my own, so it can't just be the flares.
Can someone point me towards perhaps enjoying this game without spending money I don't have on PC parts aside from RAM?

The game is POORLY optimized. About the only thing you can do is lower the mirror settings as low as possible, you should see some fps gain from doing this. I've got a flare mod, that as soon as I turn on the lights, it drops my fps like 30 frames, and even without it, my fps still drops anywhere from 10-15 frames...and I'm on a 980 ti classified.

No, it`s not the game. Impossible. 5-10 fps drop yes, but not 30. CPU, GPU and RAM are just fine. Medium to high. GTX980ti seriously? No way. Probably drivers issue. If You still have original CD with drivers, try to reinstall.

While Nvidia drivers have been lacking lately to say the least, in this case, it's not the drivers. It's the game and more importantly, the mod I'm using. I can run Rise of the Tomb Raider on Ultra, on a 27" 1440p monitor and average 80+ fps. On the Division, with everything on high, I'm getting almost 100 fps. But with this light mod, I'm getting 20+ fps drop, in some cases more, but just ran a test with the T680: Not trying to argue, or hijack the thread, but ATS is poorly optimized, imo. There are many others out there, with the same or similar cards/setups that experience large frame drops as well.

As You proved, it`s not the game issue, but shitty light mod and shitty graphics card. Time to buy a new PC My master racer. How about FreightShakerXL `s case then? No shitty mods? Good graphics and still fps drops?! P.S. Where I can find that light mod? I wanna try it.

On much better and more demanding games, getting much better performance

Thanks for the responses. Glad I'm not alone in that. I turned off the secondary lights meaning the flares shining onto things, which is sad to see go, but I can manage 60fps now with lights on, with occasional spikes in the bigger cities. I figured it was probably SCS because all my drivers were installed from disk and are up to date, reinstalled etc. This is the first game I've seen such low frame rates on for years.
