BF4 frame rate issues: i5 4670k at 100%; GTX 780 at ~50%.

dayfiftyfour · Jan 1, 2015

Hey!

I'm having some serious issues when playing BF4. My FPS is almost always below 60, and running a 144Hz monitor turns that into a serious problem, especially considering my settings being set to low. The game is running in fullscreen and with V-Sync turned on, if that helps you isolate the problem.

According to the task manager, my CPU is around 90+ % at all times. Obviously, this bottlenecks the GPU, making it run at ~50%, which ultimately makes my frame rate lower than it's supposed to be. The game has been running flawlessly up until my latest install. I went on a hiatus for a couple of months, but when the latest DLC was released I decided to install it again. I'm beginning to think it might have to do with the game, rather than my hardware, but considering most people with similar rigs can run it just fine it might be something else. I don't know.

Also, the game is installed on my Samsung EVO 840, running the latest update.

All drivers are up-to-date.

My rig:

8 GB RAM
i5 4670k
GTX 780
MSI PC-Mate z87-G41
Samsung EVO 840

As you said it's probably the game.90% is not the worst thing but it should be at 80% and the GPU at 100%.If you can,try some other games.If it doesn't do that, i am 99% sure it's the game

Hey, I have exactly the same issue and can't find a solution.

I have :

8GB RAM
I7 4770K
GTX 770 SC
ASROCK Z87 EXTREME 6
I also have the game installed on a samsung evo 840

I have a 144hz monitor and used to get 120+fps on med-low settings and I get roughly 60fps on any setting.
Very strange.

Have you found a fix yet?

i don't know if it causes lower fps but here is a thread about lag when playing games from ssd, check it out.www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/1378-73-games-windows-constantly also make sure vsync is off

That's interesting and all but have you fixed your frame rate issue? and If so how?
