    I am indeed using my dedicated GPU. As I said, I never really had this problem like two years ago, and all modern games like Bf2042, Marvel Rivals, Fortnite etc run with no issues. Only BF3 suffers from this weird issue.

      I typed Render.PerfOverlayEnable into a Google search and there's multiple other people having the same issue. This bug appears to affect everyone. I wasn't able to find a solution unfortunately.
