You may also try what Oppvaskmaskinen stated in the post below:
He was having similar issues as you, and also uses an Nvidia GPU.
Here's what he did:
"After a lot of testing an monitoring I did find one thing: Geforce auto adjusts performance (clock, fan speed, etc), which changes radically even during game play.
I went into NVIDIA Control Panel, and under manage 3D settings I set the option "Power Management" mode to "Max. Performance". Since then I am getting a stable and constant 60 fps (yeah im using the framerate limiter), on all maps."
Hope this helps.
Thanks 🙂

Yes, I have it set to 120. As far as in-game settings go, I’ve pretty much exhausted all possible options but unfortunately the problem hasn’t gone away.
@paperplane36 Have you tried to set Frame Limit to 60?
Hello again everyone,
I have finally been able to solve the problem.
Turns out the CPU clock drops came back even after the BF1 Easter Update, so I decided to install MSI Afterburner and record temperatures, voltages, and clock speeds during a regular play session to try and troubleshoot the problem further. By doing this, I found out that my in-game stuttering events coincided with the CPU dropping to EXACTLY 800 MHz clock speed. After doing some research on Alienware forums (I have an Alienware 17R4), I learned that this behavior is consistent with CPU throttling when CPU temperatures are too high. Lo and behold, MSI Afterburner also showed that my CPU was reaching a maximum temperature of 91 C right before it was being throttled down to 800 MHz each time.
I bought a cooling pad for the laptop and was able to drop my CPU temperature from 91 C to 80 C while playing BF1 online in Ultra settings. This in turn has stopped the CPU from throttling and has solved all of my stuttering and FPS problems.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in and provided support.
Best,
Sandro
