Performance Issues
I have a RTX 3070 and intel i711700 and game runs like crap. When I played early access open beta I had 140 FPS, I now have 60-80 FPS on lowest graphics... fix ASAP!
Forum Discussion
In spite of many complains about optimization I got for some reason a descent performance even on 4K with DLSS on Performance, I got around 90-100 FPS with a 3080. That is before the Update #2. I mean, it was still far from very good, with many hiccups, stuttering and similar stuff.
But after Update #2 it just got worse for me. Now I am having from 60-80, sometimes it drops even lower around 50.
I have the feeling the graphics presets don't do much, having it from Low to Ultra, it only gives me ~15 FPS difference, which is nothing...
They have to optimize this ASAP. Collaborate with NVIDIA and get out the next display driver and/or optimize it internally.
The game is very CPU bound as well, having my GPU usage around 50-80% which is not ideal at all...
This is disappointing. I hope this will be fixed ASAP.
They are aware and are working on it which they recently announced here: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-briefing-launch-update-and-the-road-ahead
"For all of you playing on PCs, we want to acknowledge that many of you are finding that performance of the game is presently CPU bound, and not enough of you who are fortunate enough to enjoy high end GPUs and CPUs are seeing the benefit of consistent, high frame rates. Identifying engine level optimisations and developing solutions will require a lengthier response time from us so that it gets done right. Short term, we’ll be doing all we can to help offer performance improvements that reduce the load, and up your frame rates where possible. We’ll keep you updated on our work through our Battlefield channels."
- @AEIDOLONE Yep, BF2042 never work fine to me, but was realy nice sice Update 2. I got massive FPS drops in random moments, but i can reach 75FPS (max for my display), after update 60 FPS is unrichable.
