Both dx11 and dx12 have framedrops and very bad performance. Did not have this issue before the patch,was just the normal freeze here and there in matches but now its pretty much unplayable. I will be updating my Nvidia drivers which are currently 416.94 to the latest to see if anything happens. If not, there are better games out there 🙂 ---

8700k @ 4.9 ghz, 2080Ti @ 3440x1440. The last patch, I more than exceeded the 100hz limit of my monitor in fps, Now, despite setting multiple settings on “High” rather than ultra and disabling ambient occlussion I’m only pulling 70-80 fps when looking at certain areas of a given map and experiencing hitches. Also downloaded the 417.71 drivers today, double checked my nv control panel profile. I’m going to check other titles with these drivers to see if I get similar results, but I’m thinking this is due to today’s battlefield V patch.. and needs to be fixed. Should state - I’m running dx11. I’m hoping DX12 will be better than what I’ve experienced of it so far by the time DLSS is implemented. Please fix devs.. I was happy with performance yesterday. not today. ---

I was actually telling my friends that too. I thought it’s me. Literally said “about 20 frames loss” . ---

IMO - it’s the BFV update. I just tested a couple other titles, and they still work fine with the latest nvidia drivers. Dice, you guys broke something. 😉 ---

Can confirm. Running with a 1070ti and a 4790K CPU, and my FPS tanks to around 40-50 FPS in busy areas. Roughly half of what it was yesterday. They definitely broke something. ---

didnt they edit the view-distance for foliage ? i m pretty sure if you now have foliage showing on fields far away and the fact that many maps make use of named fields, that this will be very likely the reason for the fps-loss. ---

whatever the cause, the performance hit is significant and unacceptable imo. From butter smooth gameplay to whatever i was experiencing today doesn’t equate to a positive feeling about today’s patch. ---

What is terrible about that (if true) is it is now like PUBG where people can turn down their settings for view distance and expose players using foliage etc for cover/stealth. That is utterly cheap IMO and ruins the experience and immersion of the game. ---

This has been how BFV has worked since launch. In the beginning I thought Twisted Steel was weird (got killed from weird places etc), but then I put undergrowth on low (from Ultra) and then I could suddenly see a lot more things clearly. Playing with undergrowth on ultra is a big mistake in this game. ---

From what I understood they did counteract this previously in BF5. If they reversed it that is a definite step backwards. ---

Same problem here as OP: perfromance decreased allot with this patch, cant hit the 144 fps anymore (always below 100 now) on my rtx 2080 ti. Gpu usage does not max out anymore which kinda explains the worse performance. Fix or revert this horrible patch, how can something impacting as this slip trough? ---

I haven’t had any FPS issues in this patch I averaged 176 FPS in 1440p with all ultra except post processing set to low. This was on Rotterdam it was the only map I played since today’s patch. [[email protected]](https://battlefieldforum.co/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection) 2080ti and 32gb 4000mhz ram Dx12 no ffr Definitely not saying there isn’t a problem I just haven’t had it yet but I have definitely had my fair share of stutters and high cpu usage but as of today and this patch no stutter yet. ---

Idk i just went and changed every advanced setting to low and gained no fps increases from it. Might try DDU later, but like I said previously - other titles are not experiencing negative effects from the new nvidia driver. Just BFV running screwy after today’s patch. ---

I no longer cap frames I let her eat as the only reason I capped frames was to lower cpu usage but it honestly didn’t help much. The thing I noticed with a 2080ti is you lower settings it seems to make the frames worse to a certain point. I would unlock frames and see what happens and turn it up to ultra settings to see if your usage and FPS come back My gpu runs 40 to 42 under water. I have yet to hear of a 2080ti under water fail I thinks it’s something to do with heat on the memory and without water cooling they get to hot but that’s my opinion. I sure hope mine don’t fail now lol I have had it since October and it’s a evga ultra xc [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/fps-drops-in-jan-15-patch/107723.md?page=2)
