I already had bad and unstable performance but this patch made things even worse.Way more frame drops even when nothing is actually happening.I ran Battlefield 1 on ultra with solid 60 FPS under any circumstance in Conquest mode.I5-6600 Gtx 1060 6 GB 16 GB ram at 2133 mhz…And before someone says I’m below recommended settings,yeah I know but Battlefield 1 ran smooth as butter on the same system. ---

8700k @ 5ghz and a 1080 FTW I’ve always played low settings on DX12 no FFR. Had 140-180 constant FPS since launch day. As of today get drops to 100 fps and lots of stuttering. On new nVidia drivers also. ---

From patch notes: PC Specific Improvements Increased the density of the fields on Arras when playing on lower settings, to not give a visual advantage to those playing on low-spec PCs. ---

Ever ran Quake 3 at 1500 fps and checked temps? May not help minimal frames but I have never seen it drop below 144fps . It also keeps my gpu usage higher and that seems to help with the high cpu usage and stutter. ---

I don’t care what the patch notes say, most the patch notes are a big lie. I’ve actually played the game. I’ve actually seen it’s the same. You post EA patch notes like it proof? Seriously?

Must be allot when you are not affected by this patch xD Your GPU is running at 100% usage? Raising the cap to 200 did not change anything as expected: 110 frames, feels like its capped exactly to that value somehow. I am on all ultra btw as pre patch too.

What boggles me is all the current issues with BF5 is what plagued BF4. It’s like they all have short term memories and forget they previously implemented the kill cam, spawn invulnerability, blurred vision when being hit so you couldn’t continue to aim and snipe, fixed prone issues, corrected ammo crates sinking into the ground, etc. Why do we have to go through these lame growing pains AGAIN!? ---

This always happens with DICE, they update their game and break performance that was pretty good. Just in time for that special RTX promotion!!! ---

I just went to the game to play a map at it seems that I have the same performance average as I had before today’s update , I updated the new Nvidia drivers and the game update and it seems to run normal if not more smoother at least for this map not sure after a few hours playing if that will change or not …to early to say it btw I game at 4k with my Asus Rog RTX2080 strix OC , on a I7 8700k @5ghz with 16gb ram 3000mhz with a 970 EVO NVMe SSD ![]() ]([https://postimg.cc/68x0skGd](https://postimg.cc/68x0skGd)) ---

You guys with stuttering should set a task with emptystandbylist to clear standby memory every 5 mins. It clears up stuttering. The stuttering is mainly Windows, not the game. ---

Let’s face it this game performs so different for everyone I mean there’s people like myself with really high end systems that have stutter and high cpu usage and then there people with barley minimum spec that have no stutter and normal cpu usage. The game is a cluster F\*\*k IMO and I have honestly quit worrying about it my computer runs every benchmark and stress test flawlessly. I wouldn’t worry about this game folks it will be dead and gone in 6 months. I know everyone wants a smooth experience but I just don’t think it’s possible to have most of the time. I am honestly thinking all these issues could be server side related I play earlier today and had no stutter whatsoever and played a few hours ago and had it 2 to 4 times a match seems like the more people that are playing the worse the performance is. ---

I can confirm FPS drops since patch too. FPS sometimes drop below 50 FPS, average FPS reduced by 15 to 20 at least. Rotterdam is unplayable again, like it was with my old GPU. In the Update notes it says: “PC Specific Improvements • Increased the density of the fields on Arras when playing on lower settings, to not give a visual advantage to those playing on low-spec PCs.” But from what is saw the last matches, it looks like the increased it an all maps. As far as I remember Panzersturm had way less detailed vegetation on LOW settings. Every map I played on since the patch looked a lot better then I remembered from the day before. Just Aerodrome seemed to be unaffected but there is not much graphics on the ground to be increased. I bet they wanted to increase it just for Arras but made the LOW settings be at least medium settings on all maps. ---

Well I can definitely agree that their looks to be way more vegetation on every map even though I haven’t seen any FPS issues on my end. ---

But the DXR needs to be imrpoved, when I enable it (set to ultra), my fps goes down to 55-80 which is not smooth to play with these settings.
