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 ---

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)
