Hi Guys,

Any of you experience frame drop when playing multiplayer?

There is a solution to address it by adding a config and disabling Hyper Threading.

The problem is I have a i5-4570 which does not have Hyper Threading and the issue still persists. Being a noob to BF is hard enough, not to mind trying to run around at as low as 8fps.

Any and all help is much appreciated.

FYI

Specs are:

Windows 7 64 Bit  
Intel i5-4570  
Gigabyte H87-HD3, ATX  
8GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9  
XFX DD RADEON 7970 925M 3GB D5 2x mDP HDMI DVI  
Samsung SSD 840 EVO Basic 120GB SATA 6Gb/s  
WD Green 1TB, SATA 6Gb/s (WD10EZRX)

You said you were a noob: does that mean you’ve only had this problem recently?

If the issue is periodic, dramatic frame drops on a system that should be more than capable of running the game. I went crazy trying to solve the same issue. Turns out it was Origin causing the problem. An origin update changed the default settings and turned on the option for “enable origin in game.”

Turn this option off, and it might solve your problem.

Thanks for the response, after further trawling last night I found that solution.

Thanks again

Well the 7970 is no little bitch graphics card. I have a 650ti boost and the only problems I ever had with low FPS was with the heat of my GPU. Radeon should come with some software to monitor the temperature of your GPU. I recently bought a liquid cooling system for my PC and it gave me an extra 20 frames in BF4 and most games. Specifically BF4 was down at 45-50 average and now it’s up to 60-70
