Re: Really Poor Performance Issues - Top Spec PC (over £8k setup) - ~20fps

@RipGroove99 I'm glad atleast its running good for you.

But someone here with a 1080ti said he can't touch 60fps on LOW! 1080ti is an amazing card. I don't get it.

I'm pretty sure DICE thinks everyone has a RTX card. The performance shows.

During a pandemic AND chip shortage! Whew.

I knew my 1080ti's days were numbered when Red Dead Redemption 2 came out as it really struggled with that. With the shear scale of BF2042 it definitely needs some serious GPU horsepower to run well and look good.
I'd like to think that a 1080ti paired with a suitable CPU for all the physics in 2042 would run at 60+ FPS at 2560x1440 at Med-High graphics settings. Of course most BF games have a period of optimization after launch so I'm certain performance will get better after a few game updates.

I'm getting a locked 80fps with all low settings and 50% dynamic resolution scaling, which comes out to 1080p resolution. You can see that in the green text at the top of screenshot.
None of my CPU cores are maxed out. If your frame rate doesn't go up when you reduce resolution then it's probably a CPU or DDR4 RAM bottleneck. Like maybe only running single channel RAM or perhaps not all CPU cores being utilized. Or bad RAM timings/frequency settings.
Also try running in Full Screen mode and the hidden setting in Windows 10 called 'Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling' also helps.
Posting a screenshot like this would go a long way towards troubleshooting issues. Such as why someone with a GTX 1060 video card is getting higher and more stable frame rates than some using with a RTX 3090.
Hint: It's probably not the video card causing the low frames, it's probably the CPU maxing out on one of it's cores.

This is interesting, and likely correct. It's usually a CPU problem when changing settings doesn't offer any change at all.

@TheFireOfTitan I have a 3090 RTX OC not 1080. Turns out to be mostly related to poor processor optimisation in the code. When specialist CPU settings such as Core cache ratio multiplier is greatly affecting the graphics performance of this game but doesn’t affect any other games then it points to something wrong with their optimisation. Still not getting the 100FPS+ that I would expect to have with a 3090 RTX but I guess I'll have to keep tweaking CPU settings whilst waiting for them to release a patch that optimises the game engine. I've ruled out the issues being a result of overclocking, if I restore CPU and Memory settings to factory default, the FPS and Mouse Latency/LAG issues get even worse. Tweaking specialist COU settings is helping to improve performance, but I really shouldn't have to. And, why do these CPU settings only affect Battlefield and none of my other games???
