BF1 and 5 microstuttering

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

PC: 16 gb ram, gtx 1080, i7 6700k OC’d to 4.4 ghz.

So, the game microstutters a lot. Its not really that much of a gamebreaking, but its annyoing and it should not happend on such a PC. It is very noticeable on a big maps and when there is a lot of explosions etc…

I have read that it can be somehow connected to the fact that i am gaming on the newest windows 10 version. Anyone with the same problem?

What i tried: Playing with graphics settings, playing with drivers. I had the same problem in BF5. Other games work just fine.

Try the standby memory fix:

use Rammap and be happy

I tried both solutions, but nothing helped at all. The thing is, i have like 80-100 fps in this game, cpu usage is 60-70% on all cores, but the gpu on 1080p, never goes above 60% usage and it randomly drops to 18% for a second (and so does the fps). Thats the moment when the stutter occurs. Im thinking about reinstalling win 8. I have downlclocked my cpu to the standard ratio and its even worse now.

Turn up resolution scale in game to 125 (or even higher if you still need to put more load on the gpu). That should put more load on the gpu.

6

Try running your RAM @ default speeds (not XMP) DDR4-1866, DDR3-1333 @ 1.35V. It is possible for XMP profiles to not be %100 stable.

I don’t think that putting more load on the GPU would reduce microstuttering. If anything, it could contribute to it. Stuttering is complex and the fix isn’t simple. I’m having a bit myself and I have a pretty crazy rig.

Thanks for the tips, but nothing has worked for me. I have removed WIN 10, currently use WIN 8.1 and bf1 works flawlessly. My GPU usage is almost always above 90% and my fps got increased from average 70 to 125.

This is the worst advice i’ve ever seen in here! Dudes, never EVER, never EVER EVER do that, if you want to clear your standby memory do it manually, download RAMMAP and do it manually, don’t force your OS do this in every 5 minutes, because on exactly 5 minutes you will have stutters.

10

What’s wrong with it?
It just does the same thing than rammap but you don’t have to to it manually every 15min.

11

I use it and no longer have issues.
I don’t notice stutter when it’s clearing memory either

12

dunno if it helps any of you 1080 users, but I read somewhere that monitoring voltage of your cards with 3rd party software like afterburner can cause micro stutter.

13

yes turn off this setting inside of the msi afterburner monitoring tab " power " un check that , there had been tons of forum posts about it . some drivers its ok and some revisions it stuttery ish

14

I have the same experience. I started by setting the task to run every 30 minutes, but that still gave me stutters once in a while. Now I’m running the task every 15 minutes and have no stutters. I’ve never “felt” the task running while gaming.

15

Every 5 minutes here with no issues.

16

Would clearing standby memory be beneficial regardless of the amount of memory? I have 32 gig in my machine.

17

Check your free memory available while you’re playing.
I guess even if you have 32Gb it can reach 0 at some point.

18

This is getting out of hand.. The game literally takes up 99% of my standby mem within 10 minutes of clearing it…

I noticed that if I turned off afterburner no more studdering occurs. At least from what I saw. Maybe I might be wrong. Will test this out more.

Disable the power monitoring on afterburner.
