Battlefield 4: Getting huge FPS drops.

jconnelly025 · Nov 13, 2014

I have been having a lot of problems lately with battlefield 4 running. I keep getting these huge drops in FPS during multiplayer gameplay. I will normally have anywhere from 90-120fps with all settings on ultra but suddenly it will drop to 20-30 fps or lower for just a second or so. This will keep happening over and over throughout a match making it unplayable. I didn't start getting these problems till recently. The only changes I made were putting windows 8.1 on but I wanna say these problems are more recent than that. I have tried messing with the settings but that doesn't seem to be any help at all. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks!

try 1 gpu only (just to test), see if it happens still

Ran with one GPU and same problem. I tried disabling all direct x 11 related stuff with same issues. I tried with settings on low and same thing. I even stood still without moving mouse staring at wall to keep frames consistent but it would still drop from 140 down to around 30 every few seconds. I didnt notice any change in temp, gpu usage, memory usage, or gpu clock/mem clock when these drops would happen. I dont have these problems with any other game. I should add I am running my rig on a 800w power supply. I've downloaded bf4 settings editor but dont know what settings to change. Any help with this would be nice.

Hi, I am having the exact same problem as you, running on a single GTX 660 (Driver: 347.09). I have all settings on low (for maximum performance) and I get about 150-170 fps on average, but every now and then I get these annoying fps drops and this drops my fps down to 10-30 fps, which makes it completely unplayable and frustrating. All my temps are normal when this is happening (doesn't exceed 65C). I am guessing this has something to do with nvidias latest drivers... Have you managed to solve this?

try using older drivers. have had issues with nvidia drivers before (latest at that time), where soldiers in bf3 turned purple

Try turning off SLI a common fix to get your fps back up.
