Suggestion:
Leave the GTX 760 at it’s base clock and see what your CPU utilization turns up after a few matches.
I know you said you use emptystandby task. But between rounds check RamMap and see Standby (Light Blue Color), Modified (Green) and Zeroed (Light, Light, Blue)
show less then 200K? That will tell you that emptystandby is working. If not just use RamMap to Empty Standby, Empty Modified and Empty Priority @5hadyBrady

You can take a screenshot by either pressing the print-screen key. Or typing Snipit in the search bar.
The Snipit Tool will allow you to highlight only the parts you want to show. Just select New. The whole screen with turn white. Use your left mouse button and use the cursor to “cover” what you want to select in your pic. A popups screen will appear when done. Once you are done reviewing it click on the floppy drive icon. Save it to the desktop for easy access. Then give it a name. You can upload it here:

If you don’t have your own place to upload it. Lets see if this can be addressed.

Reset your audio and video. Exit out of BF1 and Origin. Restart Origin and BF1. Set things up like you had it before.
See if that helps.

It didn’t help.

I think I fixed 90% of drops with some (or all) of these:

1. Turned off full screen optimizations in BF1.exe.
2. Turned off GameMode - https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/770jw0/game_mode_1709/ - (aeroblaster posts) in regedit (there is no way to turn it off in settings after Fall Creators Update).
3. Turned on thread optimization in Nvidia panel.
4. Turned off SuperFetch service and prevented it from auto turning on after 1 day.
5. Same with DiagTrack.
6. Downloaded EmptyStandbyList and looped it in Task Manager - https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1004600/geforce-drivers/all-games-stuttering-with-fps-drops-since-windows-10-creators-update/post/5235141/#5235141 - so Standby Memory clears every 5 min.

And boom, most of the time FPS is stable, even when there are a lot of explosions and falling buildings near me. No any stuttering. I only had 1 fps drop to 45-50 on that French map with papver flowers and large bridge on C flag (I don’t remember the name).

If you place your main pagefile on a mechanical drive and let windows manage that pagefile on that mechanical driver the standby issue is eliminated.

And sure enough even though standby memory is “full” looking it caused me 0 issue in BF1.

I suggest the above if you have a pagefile set to manual or no pagefile at all. Because both can induce the standby memory bug.

I didn’t see any gamebarpresencewriter.exe in task manager, I alt tabbed multiple times, to check it. I think regedit method to switch Game Mode off works.
But I googled and found this - https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758845953 - if someone still has this process on while playing and can’t make it disappear.

Is performance still good? Yes and no On vanilla (not sure if all of them) and French (the same) maps I have drops to 40 and even to 30 (!) sometimes. I don’t know if I should try to change sth (1 and 3), wait for next Creators Update or just play with these drops.

I noticed that on some servers performance is better and on some - worse. Can players with 150ms+ make server and FPS unstable for me? Extr Offset occasionally spikes to 40-100ms even if other values are fine. I have 500 Mb/s (62,5 MB/s) fiber optic and I have no problems in other games. My ping is ~22-30ms.

Are you on FCU? I don’t believe it happens on earlier version of win10?
If you don’t get that coming up then good for you. I have to admit it wasn’t there until recently so it’s fairly new.

In addition to SneakyGunman’s great tweaks, I would like to point out two Windows 10 services that should be disabled for better gaming experience. These are XTU Service (Intel Xtreme Tunning Utility) and OneSync Service. Once I had these disabled I started having much smoother gameplay.

Another thing worth mention is disabling Task Manager scheduled tasks. There are probably 50-60 of these tasks pre-scheduled under Windows 10 system. Most are useless. I have disabled about 90%. Disabling these tasks should leave more CPU cycles for gaming.

I really appreciate that bit of info you provided. You made me give a second look at all the schedules in task scheduler.

I just find it ridiculous that in order to play Battlefield 1 we have to become a computer genius.
I’m stuck with an AMD A-10 6800k and Radeon rx480 4gb, 16gb ddr3
Not a great system for this game but the game played pretty good when it first came out. I actually played it with my settings on ultra. Now it’s unplayable. 15-20 fps with settings on low.
I try every now and then to play but I’ve all but given up.
I understand I’m most likely bottlenecking but why could I play earlier but not now?
