Yesterday I started getting pretty severe FPS drops, down to as low as 5 sometimes, despite UPS staying in the 50-60 range. The F4 debugging info shows that a lot of the frame time is being spent in 'Wait For Update'. I've not made any software or hardware changes at all. A friend who also plays on this multiplayer server has no issues at all. What could cause something like this to suddenly start happening?

This is a denvercoder69 moment because I'm in the same situation and find this post top of the results.

I have this issue as well. Just started to have pretty high FPS drops with "wait for update"

In multiplayer, the game will run multiple updates between rendering, if it starts falling behind the server.
