Hi, so I'm running battlefield 4 on an i7 3930K @3.2Ghz, 2 GTX 770s in SLI, at 1920x1080. I'm running the game at the ultra preset. I average around 119-110 FPS. Sometimes I can play fine for a couple of minutes, sometimes it happens every couple of seconds, that my framerate plunges from 100+ to 10FPS, sometimes as low as 1! I have the newest drivers from NVIDIA (331.65). I've tried lowering the settings to auto. Nothing works, I'm losing my mind, the game is unplayable! All help will be appreciated, thanks so much!

There are all kinds of known performance issues with the game right now. It will probably take a game patch to resolve them all because your rig should be more than capable of running at your settings.

32bit or 64bit os?

BF4 loves 64bit and performance is completely different going by other peoples experiences between the two.

With a rig like that would assume you would have 64bit though.

Try disabling sli and see if you get any drastic fps dips. Possibly and most likely bugs, as MD1987 says.

Yes, nearly everyone is having a multitude of issues with the game right now. Sound glitches, textures, crashing, uneven performance. I'm sure DICE is aware and are working to fix it. They have already rolled out several server updates since launch which has dramatically improved stability. Now we wait for client updates!
 
Just temporarily try using 1 GPU only (I know with allot of the newer games (I am actually just talking about Rome Total War 2)) the game has almost twice as many bugs if you are using SLI, CF (Crossfire).

I am not sure if this is compatibility issues and if they didn't really test it before launch but just try it and see man.

Then in a week or 2 plop the other 1 back in. (week or 2 depending on next few patches)

It looks like you are experiencing the ubiquitous memory leak bug. You can run in 32 bit mode to extend gameplay for a while, but eventually it too will flood the non-paged memory pool.

All you can do is wait for a patch like everyone else. Oh, and don't fall for any one of the dozens of user claimed bandaids offered as a fix; they are delusional.

My old 965BE HD6970 runs fine on 64 bit until.......it runs out of memory.
