Cpu issues, crashing, extreme frame drops, high temps/usage
My system: ryzen 5900x, zotac 3060 12gb, 2x16gb gskil ripjaw ddr4 3200mhz, 1tb nvme, asrock b450m-hdv mobo, hyper 212 black ed, 4 corsair 120 daisy chain case fans, 650w psu, cooler master micro atc case
From the day i upgraded from a ryzen 5500 to a 5900x i’ve had issues with this game. I’ts not mobo vrm’s or psu, i ran hwinfo64. For some reason, only this game maxes my cpu out all the time, causing extreme frame drops and crashes, without MAJOR tuning. I got rid of both in a bunch of ways and found the most efficient way to do it, while gaining fps instead of losing it. I was spiking up to 100% cpu usage, 90 degrees, and even idling the game at 82 degrees, at 70fps. Now i get 130 fps average (no frame gen) at 60 degrees max, never peaking 40% cpu usage. No more crashes. If you ran hardware monitors and saw similar problems, here are my optimal fixes.
Disable “PBO” in bios. Install process lasso, set the game to run on the cores and threads windows doesn't use, if you have a powerful cpu. Induce performance mode and exclude it from pro balance. Set it to high priority on cpu, gpu, and io. Set your power plan to bitsum highest performance or ultimate performance, then under advanced power plan settings, set min and max processor state to 99%. Next make a user.cfg file on notepad and save it in your bf6 folder, look up a tutorial. Set it to your cores and threads minus however many windows uses, most likely 2. If you have a smaller cpu, try all cores. If its bigger, try one ccd. If your games still not smooth, lower your “VID” in .05 increments in bios. If it doesn’t get better after 2 of those, revert the “VID” to auto. This is to undervolt your cpu, making it maintain higher clock speeds at lower temps for longer periods of time. Try switching your “xmp” from auto to “xmp 2.0” in bios (ram overclock), or the other way around. If you're having cpu issues and this didn't fix it, i got nothing
