Hi I have the same Problem with a FPS drop since the Patch. GTX 1080 @ high Settings before Patch 120-140 , after 100-120.. GPU runs only at 70-90% .. Turn back to 417.35 didnt help. Damn.. ---

You folks need to take into consideration that the resolution you play at has a big effect on performance. And I’m sorry.. prior to this patch I was getting much higher fps/buttter smooth gameplay at 3440x1440 than I am with today’s patch. That’s not windows. that’s Dice going full with this update. If you’re running at 1080P or 2560x1440 I’m not surprised you’re still achieving 144fps, as you were likely already exceeding the 200fps cap if not using v-sync before the patch even using a gpu way less powerful than my 2080Ti. My FPS is like half what it was before the most recent update, and no amount of settings changes seems to make a difference. This isn’t a windows thing. It’s a patch that should’ve never made it to release. I’m talking prior to this update, my fps NEVER dipped below my 100hz refresh rate. With mostly ultra settings. Today that’s just untrue. The only two changes to my system, are the BFV update, and the latest nvidia drivers. The fact that any other game run on my system behaves exactly as it did with 417.35 kind of rules out a driver issue. Leaving only the BFV patch as the cause of a decrease in performance in BFV. ---

I do feel the drops just lowered my settings but not that good. In December I started to use DX12 cause it was better in performance than DX11 (no kidding), but right now with both I have drops. Config: i5 7600k @ 4.5Ghz 2x8 GB Ram - Dual Channel GTX 1070 - No overclock Sometimes raising the resolution scale to 125%, gives power for the GPU usage and I would recommend to use ProcessHacker and clear standby memory at the begining of a round. Helps a lot. BTW: New killcam is just an alpha thing, I can not beleive DICE thought that would work well. It reminds me for an early alpha gameplay where the reviving had the same kind of issues, it is right now not really smooth. Hope they will fix it in late January. ---

I would like to add that after updating BF5 last night I also suffered a major performance impact. Config: i7 9700k @ 5.1GHz 16 GB RAM @ 3200 MHz Gigabyte RTX 2070 Gaming OC @ 2000 MHz Running the game @ 1440p, ultra settings with Ray-tracing @ medium I would get the odd FPS drop bellow 60 FPS on more demanding maps when I had an explosion beside me or a plane crashed etc., but this was rare and I averaged above 60 FPS. Since the Jan 15 patch the game became unplayable on Rotterdam or Devastation with plenty of frame freezes, not just FPS drops. The game often shudders and I even loose sound for a second or two while the game is catching up (using HDMI sound through vid card). ---

I did stumble across something different - seems the nvidia driver update messed up my fan curves. They were running at one set speed and the only way to fix that was to reset them to default and reconfigure them again. This eliminated the hitching i described in a previous post. Still, even after having sorted that out. with the current version of BFV I’m seeing random drops in framerate that I was not getting prior to this update, that again do not seem to effected by changing settings in game. lowering mesh quality increased the random spikes from 50fps to like 70 fps.. but that’s still a huge drop from where I was 2 days ago, where I never dropped below 100fps, and probably would have exceeded that number if I were to disable v-sync. The fps drops seem random and brief. I was HOPEFUL that fixing my fan curves would take me back to the performance I was happy with prior to the BFV update, but not the case. Still - if you were running custom fan curves prior to the latest nvidia driver release, you should check them. ---

Damn this doesnt look good. I run an i7 1080ti 16 gigs ram and havent had a chance to try new update but now im scared to. Was getting 130 to 180 in 1440 and nothing will me off more if I see frames lower.. I get OCD about that. Maybe dice can chime in in if theres enough noise. I’ve already spent so much time in tweaking the game to run well.. ---

Playing on 1080p, ultra on DX11 with vsync off and future frame rendering turned on (I lose about 30fps with it off) Was getting 80 - 100fps average on all multiplayer maps, now dropping into the 60 - 70’s sometimes ---

CTE needs to be put in quick there is no need to keep issuing these garbage patches. They need to fix the performance issues and major bugs first and then worry about adding new content. I know that without new content the game want last bit at this point it want last with all the performance issues either. ---
