Stuttering, stuttering, stuttering. I've tried everything. Googling for weeks.Do i need to wait for a patch of is this normal? I'm very confused right now.PC:MSI x570 Gaming plus: bios updatedRTX 4090 Inno3d32GB ram dual channel Corsair PC3200 (4x identical ram) with XMP profile 1 of 2 enabledAMD 5800x3d. temp: 40c on idle and 67 on stressGame is installed on: M.2 XPG 8200pro750 watt Cooler Master PSU Gold V2Alienware oled monitor 175Hz G-sync enabledWindows 10 fresh install 2 months ago.Windows 10 fresh install 2 months ago.Game settings: Low, high, ultra, RT on or off, v-sync on or off - does not matter! It stutters randomly. It goes from 170 to 50-80 in a split second and it makes the game unplayeble.It's the only game that laggs. Even Warzone 2/MW22 is stable.i also tried:- Clearing EA app cache- disabling nvidia experience layover- Disabling tpm in motherboard- reinstalling the game

@ThrashTator88 did ya check cpu % usage during ingame play?Also try a cleanboot to see if ya got less/no stutter !post screenshot from fps and network graph. from ingame it self, no afterburne stuff ect ect ect

@Rokebo73Thank you for your reply.Msi afterburner is not installedI checked msconfig, no other runnings apps than: DropBox, 3 Epic Games services, 6 razer services, NZXT service (for watercooling), BattleEye services and 2 steam services.CPU usage:72% on low85% on ultraQuestion network graph:With the first two graphs, so the graphs at the top: I get blue peaks when the game stuttered.

@ThrashTator88 did ya trey to lower the resolution and hz at both monitors ?
Youre resolution and hz settings are very high , remember bf2042 use a lot of CPU !
Its not youre GPU but it is issues at CPU !

@Rokebo73 I don't think that widescreen 2K is very high. Also 175hz (locked on 170fps) is not high either.

My GPU is the best of the world at the moment.
My CPU is top 5 best of the world at this moment (source: tomshardware)

I can play this game on ultra with RTX on and i can steady 140fps. But sometimes it stutters.

If i turn RTX off, and if i play this game at low, i get the same stutters. Now that doesn't make any sense.

@Rokebo73Thank you for your reply.
Msi afterburner is not installed
I checked msconfig, no other runnings apps than: DropBox, 3 Epic Games services, 6 razer services, NZXT service (for watercooling), BattleEye services and 2 steam services.

CPU usage:
72% on low
85% on ultra

Question network graph:
With the first two graphs, so the graphs at the top: I get blue peaks when the game stuttered. What can this mean? Is there outgoing packet loss?
My cable connection is CAT 5E. Fiber connection 500 mbit down and 500mbit up.
/edit:
just gamed with WiFi-adapter. Connection looks good! Way less stutters. I think i have a faulty TP-link switch somewhere which shares a cable with a IP camera. i'll look into it.

@ThrashTator88 Good , hope this will solve youre problem !
Test any connection/connected device ! make sure all utp cables/connectors are ok !
No device that make some signal noise cause its to close to any cable !

cheers
PS sometimes ya need a better quality utp cable, instead of cat 6, you could need cat7 or even cat8, BUT the prize/costs for those cables are also more 😉
but they protect/shield bette5r and transport more data and signal at higher Hz !!!
Check google for it !!!
edit2: Oh aND DISABLE DROPBOX, IT COULD USE UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD SPEED ALSO !!! JUST TEST IT !!

If you turn of the XMP profile does that help? I assume you looked that your Ram supports that CPU? @ThrashTator88

Using higher graphics settings will reduce the load on the CPU and utlize the GPU more.

Is your Bios up to date?

@EA_AticTY for your response.
As stated on my OP; i have the newest bios. Tried xmp off, sure. Ofcourse my ram is compatible or else the pc would not boot. It's just PC3200 DDR4 Corsair.
As for graphics settings, i play on low now, it still stuttered. Dlss on/off/ i tried everything. It's the game.

Today i have
1) Updated the game
2) Put a CAT6 cable between my PC and ethernet switch
3) Placed new switch TP-link Link TL-SG105E next to my PC
4) Replaced old routers with new switches (Link TL-SG108E) elsewhere in the house
5) I connected the UTP cable that goes to the attic (where I'm sitting) directly to the router instead of going through a 24-port switch first. (The cable to my room remains Cat5e, too much work to change that).

Result: way less stutter. However...
I don't know if this is due to my actions, or if this is due to the update. The game forced an update, so I had no opportunity to test.

The stutters are much less and if there are stutters (especially at the spawn screen where it zooms out after you die)

Network bar: PL (packet loss?: after gaming for 20 minutes was 0%.

NEW ISSUE/bug?
While playing at map Kaleidoscope I now suffer from artifacts. I'm experiencing this for the first time while gaming. Large vertical artifiacs the size of the Burj Khalifa.
/edit: just stress tested my gpu with 2 rounds of Heaven unigine, NO artifiacs. I think it's just Battefield being battlefield.
QUESTION:
What does the blue line mean on the first table when you enable network diagram? There is no legend for blue. So when the game stutters it goes up.
