Dude i had the same problem, twice. First time i reset the entire PC, which is a nightmare and takes ages but it fixed the problem 60fps right back (gtx 1080). So as randomly as it happened before got up today and my fps was in the trash. Again. Please tell me i dont have to reset the entire pc again..........

I had good (60 plus) FPS on battlefield, running high settings until recently, now I'm at 20 and have no idea what changed. Lowering settings has no effect on FPS also, less than a five FPS difference between low and ultra.

I would run a process viewer, or task manager in Win10 and see how much CPU and memory is being used by BF1 and if anything else is maybe hogging some of your CPU when you are trying to play. I have run into this before with a background process tying up my CPU when I am trying to play and getting horrible FPS from it...it is annoying as * when it happens to me, so it is worth a look at least to rule it out.
I have also had a driver update go badly(or just got corrupted) and have to do a clean reinstall because for some reason my vid card would only run about half power....
