is fine that your comp is above minimum spec but it does not equal to a perfect performance ...
http://www.corsair.com/blog/bf4-system-ram/ nice read about ram in bf4 so take a look
I'm not expecting perfect performance. I expect playable performance and I do not even get that with everything on low. I'm not going to shell out extra money for memory while I already meet the game's requirement. I agree that 4gb is not much nowadays and doubling it would be wise but that does not change anything regarding this issue.
Thank you for taking the time to eloborate your initial reply.
Your pc stats are killing you. Less than 1gb of gpu ram and 4gb of system memory? You know how much ram this game uses and what happens when your pc uses your hard drive for virtual memory? Your system memory is the biggest issue as I've seen BF use up to 4-6gb. Your video card is 1 gb only, which means you should play at medium settings at 720p no higher. Trying blame game on your very outdated pc is the issue along with your pc being the issue if you try to run it at 1080p stats. Run it like Xbox one would, 720, low graphics settings.
Guys, is reading really that difficult? I've already stated, several times, that the game is still unplayable with everything on low including the lowest resolution possible.
If you compare it with a car then I know my PC isn't a Ferrari but I should still be able to drive shouldn't I? Even better. My friends PC, having an ATI card with less memory and the same amount of GB, although slower, outruns mine in this game and all you can come up with it is upgrade your PC?
Seriously? Nevermind this issue and a moderator can close this topic. If this is the support I'm getting for a game I paid 40 euro for I'm better of asking for a refund.
I'm having the exact same problem with my i5 / GTX460 / 4 GB RAM. It should be playable, and it is, for at least a few minutes. Then, all of a sudden, I start randomly getting huge CPU / GPU spikes, and FPS drops + stutter.
I can confirm this is a game issue, not a hardware issue. Got all my settings on low (still getting good framerates on medium, ~60, which I have capped as max fps, until the stuttering begins).
I also have tried every single "fix" I've come across, the only one "working" so far has been the core unparking, it boosted my FPS by ~10-20, but didn't remove the stuttering.
