So, I was just playing another round of BF4 when I suddenly had a massive FPS Drop to about 6FPS that stuck for several seconds before returning to normal. I could play for a good 10 - 15 seconds and then it happened again. Luckily, I was running MSI Afterburner, so I saw that right before the drop, my GPU Usage was dropping down to about 30%, then to +80% during the “stuttering” (almost freezing) and then to 0%. Not sure what caused all that. The games performance just seemed to drop after a while of playing. And no, graphics aren’t the cause. It worked fine a while ago even on higher settings. Now I’m running with everything on low and I still get shit like this. - GPU: R9 270X 4GB OC Edition (Stock Clock) - CPU: AMD FX-4300 (Stock Clock) - RAM: 16GB DDR3 Currently running the latest AMD Beta drivers. ---

Before anything else, go into Origin, look n your options, and turn off Enable Origin In Game. This is what was causing it for me (and a lot of other people). ---

I think that just really helped. Played a good amount of OP Clusterf- uhh, OP Metro and didn’t have any more of the FPS Drops. But still, is it normal that I get a GPU Usage of about 30 - 40% on low settings? ---

It’s a high-intensity game for your GPU. I’ve got a pretty decent rig and I’m usually running 60-80% at high, peaking near 100% leading to FPS drops in some situations (like the tower collapse on Shanghai). ---

Its CPU bound for me, and I have 2 270s 2gb ---

Dude, I never even get near 100%. The drops come when I’m running at around 30-40% of GPU load. Disabling Origin In-Game might’ve fixed that, tho.
