Huge FPS drops with high end PC

Hey, so I have  a huge Problem. I can´t get a stable framerate while playing. It will be above 100 and then suddendly drop to 0. My PC Hardware should run Bf2 easily on Ultra Settings which is even the recommended setting by Nvidia Geforce Experience. I have 32gb RAM, i78700k and a 1080ti...

If you guys have any solutions, please tell me.

    @EA_David This is getting super weird. I played with my Performance Monitor and Taskmanager running on 3 different Maps and Gamemodes. I had no real lag just a few minor FPS drops. And as it seems the issue might be that the Game is somehow NOT installed on my M.2 but rather on my 5 Year old HDD. On the Monitor you could see a huge dropoff in the output of the HDD whenever i occured a FPS drop. I will re-install it onto my M.2 and report back after i tested the game-stability.

  • Downgrading to 388.31 Nvidia driver helped me to stabilize my frametimes a little bit. But there are still huge spikes in the frametimes (while fps > 100), when you start on a new map. GPU utilization then drops to 70-90% after the first spawn and the frametimes goes nuts while the frame per seconds are still > 100 fps. After the 2nd spawn it gets playable.

    @Flakstar I'm curious, how's your HDD's load when this is happening? Do you happen to have an SSD that you can install the game to (I know that's a big ask and it's ok if you don't want to use the space) to see if this effects the early-match issues.

    I can confirm this behaviour!
    Framerate drops at the beginning of each round!
    My system:
    i7 6700K OC@4.7GHZ
    64GB RAM @2500MHz
    GTX 1080 OC@2.1GHZ
    and my drive is a samsung 950pro.
    so there should not be loading issues related to the hardware!


    But I can completely imagine, that this game is so badly programmed and optimized, that it can only load without stuttering from a ramdisk.
    Scratch that, RAM-disks would still be to slow!
    This game needs all its assets in CPU CACHE to load smoothly from! what a shame!!

  • @Flakstar Yea that was the one i used when I first installed the game. I even reinstalled the driver like a month ago, but then the FPS-Rate was as unstable as it is now.

    @EA_David I have the game installed on my Samsung M.2 SSD and Maps load in less than 5 Seconds so that shouldn´t be an issue for me. Also heat is not a Problem as well. I will run the Recourcemonitor right now and be back in 45 minutes.
