Re: fps drop

Probably a CPU overheating issue causing the fps drops. If textures are set to medium or low then GPU memory shouldn't be maxing out.

I would try turning the CPU fan speed to 100% to get temperatures down.

Is there 2 sticks of RAM in the laptop or 1 stick? Needs 2 identical sticks for dual channel memory which doubles RAM bandwidth.

    this is not temp problem I check it many times, CPU usage is 100%, maybe set ultra details? before i check on medium and the samy fps drop ( from high to med)

    @OskooI_007 aslo playing before kingdom come develinece in very high details with no problem and temps was higher.

    Most CPUs downclock frequency as the temperature increases. Do you see the CPU frequency going down as the temperature goes up?

    Battlefield is a very CPU intensive game. If CPU is 100% it's maxed out.

    I don't know is that truth but battlefield auto detect cores but not threads maybe game need auto deteck thread too

  • sometimes game not load right, in end screen players are "logo bf42 loading" textures like 360p

  • I see i have adaptive sync VESA from intel on, can you tell me its shoud be on? i will try play on off (testing)

    Laptop should be using the Nvidia 3060 graphics card not the Intel graphics card.

    @Matiz753 In bios ya could set memory for the intergrated intel gpu to a minimum, so youre 3060 gpu will take over !
    Youre integrated intel gpu is not enough for BF2042 !!

    Check manaul or google for it how to change intergrated gpu memory , maybe there is an some of a kind MUX switch or something similair !
    This is to switch between Intel Gpu and 3060 Gpu!

    Cheers

    @Rokebo73  Good point. There might be a 'Discrete gpu' bios setting which might increase performance a little at the cost of increased power consumption draining the battery faster.


    I think it's probably a CPU bottleneck causing frame drops.

    It's easy to test this using MSI Afterburner on-screen overlay while playing 2042. If gpu usage drops below 90% during fps drops then it's a CPU bottleneck.

  • no, in this notebook bios don't have mux or set memory, bf use 3060 card bro

  • ther is no option to incrase it i think only advanced IT guy will do this

  • and game sometimes not load enough, wired textures ect, when leaving match soliders not load and game do not back to main menu need alt f4 and its from game engine not me
