Recent frame rate drop on PC

I have been searching all over for an answer as to why my frame rate has dropped to unplayable levels and can only find a handful of other people who say it was maybe the last patch, but no fix. I have been away from the game for a while, so I don’t know exactly when it started, but I would really appreciate if anyone knew a fix for this and is willing to share.

i’ve had this since the PREVIOUS patch.
CPU: i7 3770K all cores unparked)
GPU: GTX 780
RAM: 16GB @ 1866
PSU: 750W (more than enough power)

i seem to have a problem only with FROSTBITE games (BF3, BF4). every other game works fine (Titanfall, Watch Dogs, even PvZGW since it’s a lighter frostbite game).

i’m getting LOW GPU utilization around 40-50%. my framerates are stayign around 30-40fps but drop to 20 sometimes. i had gotten the game to run at 120Hz before. even with lower settings on my GTX 660.

all drivers have been uninstalled, re-installed, clean installed, etc. i’m not sure what the problem is. I did change my SSDs around when i needed more space, but that only affects BF4 since all the other games are on a storage HDD.

so… help?

Have you got battlelog in map mode at all? Since the ‘fall’ patch having the map on a second screen in Chrome hits my frame rate hard (SLI970s getting 30-40fps hard). Using IE/FF instead fixes the issue.

No, I did read about that though.

I suspect it was the patch before as well. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have this issue, but I remember that it’s been a while.

How much RAM usage? I struggle with the memory leak quite often.

i just figured it out. the latest NVIDIA drivers crashed when i tried to install them. this happened with a few of the drivers released before.

I had installed a GTX 750 TI alongside the GTX 780 that i had laying around to run PHYSX for corresponding games. I just took it out today and battlefield ran like a dream. up to 120 fps. back to normal

not sure that’s going to be your problem, but might as well post it if anyone ever runs into the same thing

AMD over here, buddy. Thanks for the info, might help someone.

Is it already gone your low fps? Because I had stable 60 fps (or at least that what i think it is) but after a while not playing i got serious frame rate issues when playing conquest. After leaving that game i reinstalled my nvidia drivers and that was it really. I have a nvidia gtx 760 and an inter core i5 (don’t know which one)
