@Sorang-kunah that explain a bit more, you system does a job to run this game.
Its not your graphicscard , but you could use 16GB memory with faster MHZ.
Are ya able to oc your memory to 1600 / 1800 Mhz ? or even higher ?
And check if ya can oc your cpu to, BUT DONT FORGET OC IS HIGHER TEMP, YOU NEED GOOD COOLING FOR YOUR COMPONENTS WHEN YA OC !!!
OC is high risk if you dont cool it enough !!!!
Windows need about 3 a 4 GB from your current memory to run. So you got only 4 a 5 gb left for the game !!
1200Mhz isnt fast memory , that give ya stutter during gamning, together with your cpu who need to do a lot of work now!
You can fix some of the problem by bootin windows with minimal programs running in the background !
Then ya need to disable EVERYTHING in tab STARTUP, disable a lot of SERVICES, disable some HARDWARE in device manager.
And only keep your mouse/keyboard/headset connected to the pc/
You need extra memory , but you could also think about a pc upgrade for future use 😉
If ya nuy extra memory , then buy 2x8GB , thats in one same box at retailer, and set them in dual channel when ya at them to the motherboard
so for now try to boot windows with minimal programs/settings/hardware
To show the importance of faster ram I conducted these quick tests: 16GB of G.SKIll memory ( rated at 3600MHz )
I always played Exposure and let fraps register during 5 minutes.
Important are not the highest FPS but the min and average ones.. at 2400MHz Memory speed you see I loose almost 20FPS on the minimum and average FPS, which is massive as no other settings was touched besides changing the memory speed divider in the Bios.
Best bang for the buck is 3200MHz memory speed, as there's no huge benefit in this game beyond that, though I like to OC and set my daily memory at 4000MHz with a slight voltage bump versus stock.
Like mentioned by Rokebo73 your setup is probably using the harddrive as virtual memory and than everything gets sluggish. This has not much to do with the 1.1 patch, though it might have highlighted the weakest link in your gaming setup... your memory amount and speed.

Ok, I ordered 3600MHz 8GBx2 ram. They'll be here within 2 days.
I'll mark the post as solved if the change works.
- 3 years ago@Sorang-kun keep us up to date how it worked out.
I have 2666mhz Ram (40gb with 4 slots / 2x dual channel) and only was able to solve the high cpu usage by the described method of lowering down the cpu perfomance limit. I still have no clue why this only works (and it's only bf 2042...) - 3 years ago
Switching RAM cards didn't work.

Update your motherboard's bios, opt for a freshly installed OS, install AMD chipset drivers, Nvidia drivers and finally BF2042... This really leaves me puzzled
