Strange fps drops in Battlefield 1
I am having a problem with BF1's FPS. It runs around 25-30 fps when I join any server, but when I alt-tab and open the game again, it suddenly runs at very good 60-70 FPS before slowly dropping to us...

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:

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 🙂
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.
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
