Constant low fps GTX 780 Ti
I've been having an issue the past few days where no matter what video settings I choose I get around 20 FPS constantly during gameplay. This happens with all settings set to low as well as ultra. No...

Yes it could be a program so try the clean boot as well.Ok so for PB do this for both BF3 and BF4..
Go to Punk Buster site
Download PB then extract files to your desktop then open Punk Buster folder. Click on the PB setup and it will open.
Add your BF4 game to punk buster its at the top of Punk Buster.
Then update punk buster again at the top of Punk Buster.
Then do same steps for BF3

Reboot PC test BF4
Just wanted to say that this is still happening. I've done everything you've told me to do and nothing has helped. Whenever it starts going to the low fps issue, simply restarting my computer is the only solution I have for now. It seems it doesn't pop back up until after about a day since the last restart. Really not sure what's going on.
I did have a problem where a windows service would use an unusual amount of processing power casuing the CPU usage to be pegged at a near constant 100%. This doesn't seem to be related to the low fps issue as far as I can tell since whenever that does happen the cpu usage is around 60% when I'm playing BF4.
I'm experiencing the very similar problem, and the CPU appears to be the bottleneck, while there is no obvious reason why it should be (i7 4770K @ 4,6GHz for me). Reinstalled Win 8.1 64 last night and BF4 is currently loading, so I'll see if that does something since all the usual measures did not help at all. Thanks anyways Zorlacc for your help, but it seems there's something else causing the problem. What really bugs me is the fact, that I start out at the usual 140 - 150 fps and then it gradually slows down within 30 mins or so. Only solution: reboot the system. Something clutters up the system in the background...

Hello,
How much memory does battlefield use when it starts to lower its fps ?
Only reason I can think of that either hardware problem or you need to reinstall battlefield 4 and origin.
For you Propell3rhead look in your bios and see if hypertreding is on or off and set it the other to see if this helps at all.
Okay, to give you guys an update:
First of all: I have the frames back! Bad news is, I don't know why. The BF4 installation is absolutely default, no user.cfg, Origin in game is on.
Re-Installed Win8.1 64 clean. So far only the latest system drivers have been inserted, no additional third party software is installed (such as audio drivers for the headset, mouse driver, etc.), the nVidia driver is NOT updated and is of revision 340.52 as it came with my Windows installation. As already mentioned, BF4 got a clean install from scratch, ran it, fps is back to normal - for now that is...
What's next?
Will now step by step install drivers and tweak Battlefield as it has been configured before, and will then closely monitor if the fps-decrease occurs again, this might take some time but I am afraid that's the only way to pinpoint the problem.
@Zorlacc: Hyperthreading ON or OFF does not affect my systems performance under BF4 nor BF3 (it never has, also on my former rig), but this might be a factor for others and is worth a try.
