I've started playing Battlefield 4 with my GF recently.
She's using my previous PC :
e8400 @ 3,0GHz (the value Gigabyte mobo won't even boot at 3.1GHz) 8Go DDR3 (don't remember the speed but it's value ram) HD6870 Standard 500Go HDD Windows 8.1
It's definitly aging but BF4 plays really fine on it even with medium/high settings producing 40-60 frame per sec. (fps) which is more than enough for my GF.
However, the game start stuttering after a few minutes and after some time it's simply unplayable with the gamefps fluctuating all over the place with an average of about 15-20 fps.
I would simply upgrade her PC if it wasn't of the fact the the game runs REALLY well for a few minutes... And it runs many other games like Left 4 Dead 2 at max settings without any issues.
I tried putting all graphical options to the minimum, reformating and changing Windows (she had windows 7 before), disabling many BIOS options that downclocks the CPU, checking the GPU and CPU temps to make sure nothing is "throttling", dumping the page file, running the game in both 32 bits and 64 bits, setting a FPS limit, closing every other program in the background. NOTHING made a difference.
So please! If anyone have an idea on what could be causing this performance detorioration in BF4, I would be extremely grateful.
