I don’t see why this is such an issue. I get around 30-60 frames per second, with frequent drops below 30. Is this some cursed combination of CPU and GPU? ---

The cpu is below minimum requirements. The last few updates to the game has made it harder to run the game on older i5’s. EA did warn about this. My advice is to overclock it as far as you safely can. ---

I never had an issue on my 4670k and recently upgraded to i5 8400 and now i have constant stuttering on most maps. The game is unplayable now in its current state for me. I am going to upgrade my firewall to see if that is the problem. I don’t see what else could be causing such stuttering all of a sudden. I have the same stuttering in BF4 and that has also become unplayable all of a sudden, even though I have played 1000 hours in it with no issues using the same hardware, except the CPU and motherboard I recently purchased. ---

4c/4t CPU’s have a hard time handling the game, simple as that. I moved from a i5 3570k to a ryzen 2600 recently. Pairing it with a GTX 970 I now play on ultra settings instead high and still have a lot smoother experience with minimum FPS never going below 80 while previously I got to as low as 20. ---

I’ve always had two sticks on previous setups but with the price of RAM it just destroyed me to have to spend that much on stupid RAM. As I had 2x4gb previously I thought 8gb of ram was enough. But I guess you are right, I will buy another stick of RAM and see if it helps. ---

Do any of you people know how to PC? I mean seriously,Is everyone stuck in some kind of “stupidity” vortex where logic and brains simply don’t exist? I’m using a 6600k/970 in 1440p/high settings (stable 60+fps) and have no issues with BF1,or any other game for that matter. But then again I know how to optimize my own rig…Maybe some of you should do the same. ---

You dont know anything. Why should we even ‘‘optimize’’ thing while the hardware is already optimized for the game? Why do we must always search for things to be able to turn a game properly? I mean i have a i5 7600K + RX 480 + 16GB DDR4 + SSD250 + MSI Z270 Tomahawk. What else do i need to run this crappy game properly? I mean with V-sync on everything is smooth but as soon as i turn V-sync on everything turns in to a messy spike lag. ---
