i have windows 10 64bit 860k AMD 4.2 16GB ram gtx 960 4GB it does not matter what I change in the settings.. LOW, ULTRA, resolution scale down to 50% 1080P down to 720P I have tried dx12 on and off I have tried vsync on and off I have turned off the HBAO tried TSS or whatever.. i have tried WINDOWS, BORDERLESS, I have turned OFF the memory restriction, and ON i get around 30FPS if Im in the menu i get great FPS LOL seriously.. it makes me think its the driver.. which is the BRAND NEW ONE cause nothing changes on the FPS only looks crappier and crappier the lower i drop stuff its basically UNPLAYABLE.. i cant even shoot someone with a machine gun.. it stutters and i lose EVERY FIRE FIGHT I can play BF4 PERFECT battlefront hardline WHAT IS UP!?!?!? it was the same way in the beta.. i thought.. ill drop $5 and see if i can play it now.. NOPE never have I been more frustrated and annoyed it seems everyone else im talking to in the servers are FINE no issues meanwhile I want to take a freaking hammer to my computer am I missing something? cause this is driving me crazy ---

Same boat here except i’m using a 290x from AMD, and 8 gigs of ram. It’s killing me too, can’t seem to find a fix for it. ---

May sound odd but it could relate to a Win 10/Xbox setting. Have a look here and see if this helps… [https://support.steampowered.com/kb\_article.php?ref=6239-DZCB-8600](https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6239-DZCB-8600) ---

i may wait till there is another update tot he gfx driver before i use all my time on the game.. just to see if a new driver made for bf1 helps.. i do have the newest driver.. but it says nothing about bf1 in it ---

tonight after work im going to try DDU and totally remove old drivers.. i normally choose CUSTOM when installing drivers and tell it to remove old drivers anyway.. but this time it didnt ask me to do that… it said it removed old drivers.. but I just read someone having the same problem.. game starts up and in the options screen, loadout.. it shows 150 fps soon as I spawn in.. it drops down to 20 - 30 fps.. ddu fixed the issue for them.. so I will try that and report back here.. tonight after work ---

**ShadowPlay or PlaysTV:** - It seems ShadowPlay has been causing huge FPS drops (reducing frames by like 50) for whatever reason. Make sure you have it disabled until Nvidia releases a driver update. I haven’t seen many problems from AMD users but this might also apply to Raptr/PlaysTV, so disable these. To see how to disable ShadowPlay see this video: [https://goo.gl/Q52UqW](https://goo.gl/Q52UqW) ---

you CPU is below min req . that’s probably the reason you get lower fps . BF1 has probably best graphics to date . your weak CPU block you GPU to max it power. unless you get better CPU I don’t expect you get better performance ---

I heard BF1 Is CPU intensive . so it bottleneck your GPU . your GPU isn’t working 100% to power the game. unless you change CPU don’t expect to get good FPS \> ---

Your old mobo & cpu are just not adequate for Battlefield in 2017. I wouldn’t suggest anything less than a high-end i5. Or wait until AMD releases Zen & Vega and build a new rig then. Until then, there is nothing you can do, your rig can’t handle the game. Make do. ---
