Ingame stuttering and fps dropping

I've had this problem for a while and I can't seem to fix it I have done everything I can think of and have been looking around for what it might be. I keep getting these 2 images pop up on my screen, when they appear I seem to have problems with fps drops and stuttering every 10 ish seconds and it lasts for 1-3 seconds. It's been happening since I reinstalled about a week ago, my drivers are up to date and I can't figure out what the problem is. https://gyazo.com/5dfbf3dfbeb909a94201b7021039756c

    Below you can find some tweaks and settings on how to get better performance in Battlefield Hardline on PC.

    NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS:

    1: On your desktop right click and choose Nvidia control panel.
    2: Go to Manage 3D Settings > program settings & add BF3.exe
    3: Change the following settings:

    Maximum pre-rendered frames: 1
    Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Single display performance mode
    Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
    Texture filtering – Negative LOD bias: Clamp
    (When enabled helps remove jaggedness of edges in still pictures but while in movement it introduces more jaggedness)
    Threaded optimization: On
    Vertical sync: Off

    HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM CONFIG FILE:


    1: Go to your Battlefield Hardline beta folder. Check the description for the default location. The default location is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3
    2: Open notepad and copy & paste the settings from below in the spoiler tag.
    3: Go to the File > Save as
    4: Make sure the Save as type is set to All Files and not as a text document.
    5: Save the file as user.cfg

    Spoiler
    GameTime.MaxVariableFps 120
    PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
    RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 0
    RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
    RenderDevice.VsyncEnable 0
    PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0

    WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256
    WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0
    WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0
    WorldRender.PlanarReflectionEnable 0

    GAMEPLAY & GRAPHICS SETTINGS:


    1: Make sure your raw mouse input is enabled. This way you have no mouse acceleration on top of your mouse input.
    2: Make sure to have the network smoothing factor set to 0 % for reduced latency and a better experience.
    3: Go into ingame Video Options and do the following:

    Set your mesh quality to ultra so you don’t have any objects or textures pop ins
    Turn OFF anti aliasing
    Turn OFF Anti aliasing post
    Disable Ambient occlusion
    Turn V-Sync OFF
    0% Motion blur

    Your stuttering issue is probably due to you having Origin In-Game enabled.  To disable Origin In-Game, follow these steps:

    1.  Open your Origin Client

    2.  Click "Origin" in the left corner, and click "Application Settings"

    3.  Click "Origin In Game" on the left side of the window

    4.  Un-check the box next to "Enable Origin In Game"

    5.  Boom...Done

    As for your FPS drops, what are all your video settings at?  Resolution, video settings (low, medium, high, ultra).  Also, what GPU are you running.  What temperatures are you seeing while under load on your GPU?

    The first thing I tried did was the origin in-game and it didn't change a thing. Currently I am running on ultra 1600x900 60Hz on a GTX 760 4g roughly getting about 50-60 degrees. But before recently playing about 2-3 months ago I was running the same setting but at 70+ fps with no lag or frame drops, and after coming back I suddenly start to have these problems, I've repaired the files and uninstalled and nothing so far has worked... ☹️

    Well i dont know why, but that should fix the stuttering.  Another thing is to turn down your settings from Ultra.  You dont need to be on Ultra, try High or Medium, and you will see alot of improvement.  Im pretty sure those temperatures are wrong, no air cooled GPU can do 50-60 degrees.  Normal running temps for a card like that (I had a 760 in my rig before upgrading) is about 70-80 degrees.

    Another question for you is: are you updated to the latest graphics driver?  And if you are, did you run a CLEAN install of it?

    I reinstalled the drivers and made sure they were up to date, changing the setting to high, medium or even changing the resolution does nothing to the lost frames or even the stuttering ☹️ ......

    Quote from another topic so give it a try might fix your problem and here is the link to that post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/SOLUTION-How-To-Fix-Battlefield-4-quot-Stopped-Working-quot-q...

    This isn't really that common if your area isn't that populated. As the lower the population of your area, the higher connection speed you would be able to received. Well anyways, fixing this FPS Dropping or Lags in Multiplayer Mode is pretty simple. Open up your NotePad and key in this infromation in it. 

     

    GameTime.MaxVariableFps 60
    PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
    PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0
    RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0
    RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
    RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
    WorldRender.DxDeferredCsPathEnable 0
    WorldRender.FxaaEnable 0
    WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0
    WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0
    WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256
    WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0

     

    After that, save the NotePad to your Battlefield 4 directory, which would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\

    Used the notepad method and it didn't really change much just seemed the same and i changed my options about in game and i tried playing with v sync off and on. As well as changing the general graphic options but nothing is changing and some methods of "fixing" are actually making it worse. So for now i really don't know what else i can think of to possibly fix this problem.
