Running i7 4790k with 980ti and 16 gigs of ram had the game on origin premier from early release most settings were on high and had no issues, frames were steady. Now since the last update can barely get two rounds of conquest done before frames drop to a point the game is unplayable, I. Going to try a fresh win install as I’m due one and see if that sorts it…such a shame the game when it works is so satisfying ---

Dude, I have an i9-9900K @5Ghz, a RTX2080Ti and 16GB RAM with 3200Mhz. You know what my CPU Usage is? The Game is using 70-85% from the CPU! It´s ridicoulus… Yeah, you have to build a good PC. But that Game is poorly optimized. ---

Overclocked i7-6800k to 4.2ghz with an OC GTX1080 here, and what I have noticed is that CPU 11 is always at or close to 100% usage while the others are fine with overall CPU usage of around 40-85%. This behavior causes some weird stuttering both in DX11 and DX12. I have played around with many in game setting without any positive result. The only solution I have found is to disable CPU11 affinity (cpu10 in task manager), and the game runs silky smooth. My fps stays above 110 fps at 1440p with lighting and post process on medium, and the rest mixed of ultra and high. I have noticed this CPU behavior in BF 1 and 4 as well, but BF4 is not affected by any stuttering. So i dont know if this is specific to my system, and/or there is poor optimization in the game engine to use 12 threads. I have tried to turn Hyperthreading off but it does not make the game run any better, I still have to disable one CPU to get a smooth game. And no other program is running in the back ground except for MSI afterburner. ---

This happens only with Battlefield games as far as I have seen so far. when i m not doing anything my cpu usage stays below 1% I have been monitoring task manager during game play and didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. ---

Who told you that nonsense? 1440p and upwards is mostly gpu limited. Lets say at 1080p low you get 90fps. So your cpu must prepare those 90fps for your gpu to render it. At 4k you got 40 fps. The cpu needs to calculate half of what it does at 1080p, because your gpu can’t render it faster anyway. ---

You can’t really compare console vs pc. Yes, they share similar x86 cpus and gpus, but that’s where it stops. Consoles can be optimized deeply, because all consoles from the same type share the exact same hardware. On pc you got thousands off possible combinations, hard to make all run even. Low level apis like vulkan, dx12 should close that gap a bit, but it’s simply more cost sensitive to use dx11, the api you know for years… ---

Hey, After some searching i found a guy talking about a solution (Win10 only) first see what windows version you have by using “winver” in “Execute” (Win+R) If you are still in winver 1803 you need to update to 1809 (october update) For myself after updating to 1809 i had no more stuttering and less framedrops. Hope it’ll help you. ---
