Low CPU FPS? What?

So today I got out of work early and I’ve been messing around with BF2042 trying to figure out why it’s not working well on my PC. 

So I turned on the overlay for FPS 

3 out of the 4 stayed green. But the CPU stayed red. It said I was getting 18-26 FPS in my CPU. 

I haven’t changed anything on my PC other than upgrading my video driver to the current one. I tried to roll it back but it still didn’t help. 


I have an i5 10040F

RTX 2060

32 GBs of Ram. 

what the hell is CPU FPS and how can I fix it? The game was running fine two weeks ago. I thought my video card might be busting but even Cyber Punk ran really well.

    @GrizzGolf you got some launchers and other software running in the background
    UBI SOFT , STEAM , EA APP , ROCK STAR and maybe a lot more you should not run when its not needed for better performance (lower cpu % and temp, lower gpu % and temp !!!)
    Cleanboot and run only the game platform thats needed to run BF2042 and test again 😉

    @GrizzGolfwhat are the settings in the game? What are the processor frequencies and its load in the game?

    I have everything set to low and off.   How do I find out the frequencies and load times?

    you can download Realtemp for temp monitoring and clocks

    For your CPU use the RealtempGT.exe as otherwise it will only monitor 4 processor cores...

    You have to push on settings  ---> tick Log File ---> log file will saved be in the Realtemp folder

    Hi @GrizzGolf, yeah the game maxing out the CPU would be result to low FPS.

    As @Rokebo73, reduce the amount of programs running in the background.

    So I reduced it and did the clean boot. Game is running much better now. Still having some rough spots during 128 gameplay but 64 conquest its running like a dream. It feels so good to be back playing. Thank you everyone!!!!
