icon on screen and extreme lag spikes

so after playing for about 10-15 minutes. this icon pops up on screen along with a huge fps lag spike, makes it unplayable. 

RTX 5070 Ti intel core i7-14700f 64gb ram @ 6000mt playing at 1440p, using wired ethernet very fast internet. how do i fix this?

    MuffledBanana​ sorry for not responding sooner. The forum didn't notify me about your post until today.

    I looked closely at both your screenshots. That's definitely a CPU spike. We can tell because the green GPU line stays low at 5ms, while the CPU line jumps up to over 40ms.

    Your System Summery screenshot looks good. Memory is in dual channel mode and running at 6000MHz XMP. For some reason HWiNFO says quad channel, but I'm pretty sure this is a software error because Intel i7-14700f only supports dual channel memory, and quad channel requires 4 memory sticks.

    Average CPU frequency looks good at 4600MHz. I don't see any signs of the CPU thermal throttling due to overheating. Although graphing the CPU temperature in HWiNFO is the only way to know for sure what the CPU temperature is running at.

    It looks to me that either a program running in the background is spiking the CPU, or the CPU is thermal throttling.

    You can play BF6 in windowed mode with Windows Task Manager running on top of the game window.

    • Run the game in windowed mode (alt + enter).
    • Open Task Manager (alt + ctrl + del)
      Open the Applications tab in Windows Task Manager, then sort applications by CPU usage.
    • Set Task Manager to 'always on top' by clicking option.
    • Watch for any applications spiking CPU usage in Windows Task Manager when the game lag spikes.

     

    Also run HWiNFO in the background and graph CPU temperature to make sure it never goes above 90°C.
