Battlefield1 stutter regularly

 Hi,

my PC has a stutter problem for battlefield 1. I have played the beta demo version everything was fine that time! Now I have tried everything but just can't solve the stutter problem. It occurs like every 5 seconds. When opened V-Sync the FPS droped down to about 20 when stutters. I have monitored the GPU Clock which is like a roller coaster: just from 1700-2000 to about 200 and jump back to 1700-2000. Tried also to turn off V-Sync, tried DX11/12, tried low graphic settings, tried to turn of OC of my PC, nothing works! My friend's PC uses GTX1060 and he says it is very smooth.

Video example: https://youtu.be/MxwQdn5BAkA

Someone who knows the solution please help me. Thanks a lot!

PC:

graphic card: GTX1080

CPU: 6700K

RAM: 16GM (installed as dual channel)

battlefield 1

    Hi,

    I attached the dxdiag. The GPU temperature is actually fine. It starts from 30 up to 55, and the fan starts to run when temp comes to 55 and then temp keeps stable there. It seems not a GPU overheating issue.

    Are you on Windows 10? Windows 10 is forcing vsync on everything for me not only this game. I'm using a laptop with Optimus (integrated and discreet gpu) and even in "exclusive full screen" with vsync forced off in both settings and Nvidia control panel windows 10 is still forcing vsync on. It can easily be seen if you get the stutters and frame drops during intense moments. With vsync off we should get a screen tear instead of a stutter or a frame drop but instead frames are dropping and stuttering occurs which is worse in my opinion. Sure wish windows would stop trying to anticipate what's "best" for us. Hopefully there is a way to bypass the windows 10 control or at least provide an option setting in game that gives our display exclusively to the game so we can truly get vsync off.

    Hi TyPennyb, Thank you for the hint. I indeed use windows 10. And I tried both vsync on/off inside the game settings: when on, fps drops from 60 to 20 as shown in the video. when off, fps drops from 100 to 40 but at the drop moment graphic still stutters. But this weekend I will try maybe install a win 7 to see if the issue can be solved.

    Hi Carbonic, Thank you for the reply. I indeed tried the latest driver, actually I tried three different versions of driver to test, but non of them can solve the stutter. I remember the beta demo version of BF1 is really running smooth, no idea why DICE makes it worse. Now the driver is updated to the latest again but still doesn't help.

    no problem, i'm curious do you ever see a screen tear in windows 10?  i believe we are never truly getting vsync OFF completely in Windows 10 which results in this and other issues as well.  In full screen mode we should be able to get exclusive access to our displays, but it seems windows 10 is still providing an unwanted function.  If i can see one screen tear then i'll accept i'm wrong, but so far I can't produce even 1.  pls lemme know

    so far as i observed I never see a screen tear in windows 10, I don't know should I expect one. I think the best way is the trial on win 7 at weekend and I will update here.

    thanks for your reply, i cant get one either and that's not truly vsync off.  in full screen we should be given "exclusive" access to our screens but its clear windows 10 (be it the Desktop Window Manager or some other nuisance) is a major contributor to our problems that devs need to work around.  Here's hoping for a dev fix or some clever workaround  to get over w10 hindrances.
