Hi all,

I've built a new PC with my GPU being the Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 Gaming.
Installed BF4, Ultra settings, all ran nice and smooth at 70-80 fps.

Suddenly today i wanted to play again, and i've been getting a low 20 fps at best.
Only change i can tell i did was install the new Witcher 3 drivers.
Tried rolling back to prev. drivers, but still working slow.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Did you mess with any of the settings? See what happens when you run it on high

Doubt its a dust buildup as its new (as in 3 weeks new).
As far as other components

MOBO: Asus Rampage V Extreme
CPU: Intel I7 5930k
RAM: G. Skill 4x4 GB @ 3000 (XMP profile)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 Gaming Edition
PSU: Antec HCP 850w
OS: Win 8.1

As far as temps go, GPU max temp is 63c.

Every other game i've tried (Witcher 3, D3, and even some benchmarks) work just as they used to, only BF4 seems to have taken a hit somehow. I figured its either the drivers, or maybe some BF4 patch fuckup? \:
