Re: PC Battlefield 5 High CPU usage, Low GPU usage

Just bought the game(Apr 7 2020) and it runs like crap still. What's the deal?

I built my system specifically tailored for gaming.

Specs:

CPU: i7 9700k  /  4.8 Ghz 1.25v (Stable) / Corsair H150i Pro for cooling

GPU: 2080 ti FTW3 Ultra Hybrid / 1350 Mhz clock / 7500 Mhz memory (Stable)

MOBO: Aorus Master z390 / F11-C Bios update

RAM: 16 GB Trident Z RGB / 3200 Mhz / 14-14-34 / XMP Enabled

PSU: 1000w EVGA Gold +

MONITOR: Acer Predator 144op 144hz Gsync

Running all updated drivers including windows. I don't run antivirus software other than regular checks (once a month). 

If peripherals matter, these are running their respected software

MAT: Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma

Keyboard: Corsair K-70

Mouse: Steelseries Rival 500

I always use DDU for every gpu driver install including audio at times.

Most settings in BIOS are set as default other than basic optimizations and overclocking (nothing ridiculous)

Only one single game I can't run is Modern Warfare 2019 because of unknown reasons. Crashes before even starting up. Go figure, another EA title.

At least I can play BFV but CPU at 90-100% usage and arguably the second best GPU on the market that money can buy for gaming is barely being used. So I'm getting this unbearable micro stutters that's hard to physically see but by gum can you feel it.  

I have no issues with any other game, this includes BF1. BF1 runs absolutely beautiful at average 100fps or more with everything cranked to the max. DX12.

However, the ONLY fix I managed to conjure up:

Cranking up the resolution to 130 which dropped the cpu usage by at least 15%, but I'm trading the micro stutters for 60 or below fps which is just as unplayable for me.

I've tried looking around but most google searches have no 'definite fix' and are outdated to when the game came out.

Am I being led to believe the game is still not fixed to this day? It sure as heck ain't my system.

Crippling a system by turning everything off and tweaking things is not a solution to me and are an ultimate waste of time with the exception of very low budget pc's which is understandable.

I only bought the game for CAD $30. So at least it's a terrible loss like Modern Warfare 2019 is for me. (80 bucks and wasn't allowed a refund oof)

    @reppy07 I'm getting close to 120 fps stable. I'll try to upload the settings' screenshot, do you have an email account?

    It should be stable with high Fps. If you overclocked, remove your overclock and retest. There are many cases where overclock has the opposite effect.

    Also check ur ping time to the server and I await your reply.

    Ok. Will test without OC on CPU after work. Will update for sure.

    Ok, overclocking wasn't the issue, some obscure setting was definitely causing the issue, couldn't pin point what it was. I set the clock speeds to stock and was still getting odd stuttering issues.

    So I used the gamer OC profile that gigabyte has and that so far has fixed the issue. With everything maxed and resolution scale at 100 and 1440p, I'm getting roughly 70 fps fps even in intensive scenes and averaging between 90 and 110 fps. and don't feel the stuttering issue. So my only assumption is some obscure setting was affecting it. OC profile seems to have set everything just right and sets the clocks to 4.7 so I'm happy.

    Just wanted to update.

    Update 2: Ok, I figured out my personal issue for the micro stutters. In Nvidia control panel, I set the PhysX setting to the GPU instead of Auto and 100% butter smooth in game. Overclocked the PC back to 4.8 and set all my settings to what they were and still butter smooth. This is in DX12 as well. Only thing annoying with DX12 is the grass flickering at times. Ugh. lol

    Yeah taking everything back to default settings is usually the first step.

    Is there any fix yet?

    My 1070Ti sits on 60% in all cases possibly, FFR On or off, DX12 or DX11...

    Have you tried my current suggestion? If you have an Nvidia gpu, try going into Nvidia control panel and set the physx setting to the 'gpu' instead of 'auto' or 'cpu'.

    To this day, I still don't have the stuttering issues since I randomly tried that. Weird.
