Strange fps drops in Battlefield 1

Hey @4570mount,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this.

Have you tried any of the following steps?

1. Make sure you have Origin in game Overlay turned off in Origin, and the Battlefield 1 game properties in Origin

2. Check your Frame Rate Limiter settings in game, in the Graphics/Video options, and try setting it to 60 or 120 instead of unlimited

3. Clean Boot:

4. Connection Troubleshooting:

5. If you're using Nvidia GeForce Experience, or Discord, try turning those Overlays off

Try these steps, and let us know if anything improves.

Thanks 🙂 

im only getting 15 to 40 fps on BF1 and im using a GTX 1070 8GB of RAM and an I5-7600K please help. ive tried all these steps

Thanks for recommendation, but I tried all these steps and FPS is still low. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

Come on, I get around 30 fps even with 1024x768 resolution and all settings set to minimum. How is this even possible? My PC runs even more demanding games with no problem, only battlefield is constantly lagging for some reason. 

Hey @4570mount,

Sorry to hear this is still occurring.

Can I ask which Screen Setting you're using? Are you using Fullscreen, Windowed, Borderless Fullscreen, etc?

Have you tried changing these, to see if anything improves?

Thanks 🙂 

I have tried all screen settings. Fullscreen gives around 30 FPS, while Windowed and Borderless lower FPS even further - to 15-20. 

You can only do a few things to speed up things:

-reduce heat of all processing units, buy laptop cooler tray thingy

-use less memory / cpu for other things

-do drivers, defrag / TRIM, clean windows, update all components etc.

i think nr 1 is the problem, only less processes is less heat / lagg so that can always help too. Get some compressed air and very gently try to clear all air-intakes of dust. And make sure these are clear of obstruction as mush as possible during operation.

It can help to run the Resource Monitor when you play, you can tab to that and see what part of your system is under strain. 

In Windows Search type in Resource, and you should get the option pop up. Then you can check the various system usage.

Heating issuesand throttling related to it can definitely be a problem. You may want to run a temperature monitor while you play, and if you are seeing high heats, check your ventlation/cooling.

Additional to EA_David if it is not the heat.

Your Notebook uses the NVIDIA Optimus Technology, so it should detect the need of more graphic power if a game, or any other graphic intense application starts. 

That however fails sometimes.

Make sure BF1 uses the NVIDIA GPU. (Put BF1 in the field in the screenshot "Autodesk" is in > select the NVIDIA GPU > confirm > test

I ran temperature monitor, and it seems heat levels are same for both bf1 and bf4, however 4 doesn't lag and 1 does. So, heat doesn't appear to be a problem.

Regarding nvidia settings - I tried to set bf1 to maximum performance, but it had no effect. In fact, fps drops are the same whether I use nvidia or integrated GPU, so it doesn't appear to be a GPU problem either.

Honestly, I am completely lost. I've probably tried everything - creating task to refresh windows cache, unparking and parking cores, tweaking power options, even using different versions of nvidia drivers, yet none of those manipulations gave any improvements whatsoever. Alt-tab briefly boosting fps makes the issue even more ununderstandable. Could it be that this problem is completely impossible to fix?
