Possible CPU Issues Correlation - AMD Ryzen Cezanne 5xxx APUs. (TIME NUDGE/LAG)

My Specs: Ryzen 5 5600G, 16GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz (XMP Enabled), RTX 3060, NVMe SSD.


Okay, so I have been troubleshooting my R5 5600G for days now. Performed ALLLL of the fixes out there. I have now read at least twenty threads/comments on this issue and mostly all of them were running these. It seems to be an issue most affecting AMDs codename Cezanne 5000 series CPUs (APUs) Some cases were even Vermeer Ryzen 7 or 9 5xxx with an X suffix CPUs. Oddly enough, there were no issues in the beta or community servers. When I run performance graph in game, it shows my CPU as having 12 cores/12 threads which is not true..why would it show this? It’s really 6C/12T.

The symptoms:

Low frame rates no matter the settings used, spikes during firefights causing what appears to be network lag, but in reality is believed by me to be a specific CPU load/scheduling issue. I am aware of online benchmarks showing no issues with the 5600, and I cannot explain that. I am aware that the issue is happening with some older Intel CPUs as well. 

My theory, the scheduling for these CPUs are off in the official servers. Something (time nudge?) is causing these to create time “lag” which is not true network latency, but cpu spikes as visualized on the in game performance graph. Users will see orange and yellow lines spiking very often in game. Another consideration is the weak cache on the architecture, being originally designed for mobile use. Or, there may be an issue with the game detecting the integrated graphics presence and doing something weird,  even though a dedicated GPU is set and running in the menu. Please forgive me if some of this is just wrong, as I’m no expert, it’s just some theories. 

Or, I could be completely wrong, I may be insane from troubleshooting every possible thing, and performing fixes.

    PD: I have tried everything, user.cfg file, updating BIOS, reinstalling the game, reinstalling drivers, REINSTALLING WINDOWS, FORMATING MY WHOLE PC... You guys can imagine how pissed off I am. Despite everything, I love the game

    I am glad people are noticing this problem but I wish there was more of us. I have a 9070 and a 5900X and my game runs terribly bad, specially in maps like New York or Gibraltar. My game wont go above 90 fps in LOW SETTINGS AT 1080p and whenever I go to the middle of the map or to a zone where there is a heavy combat going on my fps might drop down to 40 or 30 in some cases. I am very devastated because I just bought this new GPU and it has been great in many games but I was very hopeful I could enjoy BF6 with it but it is performing like crap. I guess I should have updated my CPU but I refuse to believe that the 5900X can't run BF6 properly, I understand that my GPU should be paired with a way more powerful CPU but getting 40 fps during combat in BF6 with a 5900X makes sense to anyone? Even in low settings, at 1080p?

    Commenting to add: 

    I have seen many intel posts as well, primarily those before the 9th gen..seems to be the same time nudge issue so it is not strictly AMD I am seeing, but still a majority.

    Yeah, I hope a dev or somebody sees this. It’s unplayable.

    I've also been having this issue since launch with an AMD Ryzen 5900HX.

    I appreciate your thorough deep dive and summary of your findings. It feels good to know that there are many other people with this issue and that there may be a path forward based on your hypotheses of the problem.

    Yeah...what is up with that? Because if the game thinks that is true then no wonder issues are happening.
