Very bad performance (cpu+gpu spikes when being shot at)
The last couple of months BF4 has been unplayable for me. The game runs great untill I am getting shot at, then the games stutters, and then I am dead. And it only happens when people shoot at me, or when some kind of big explosion goes of very close by. When I shoot at people or vehicles nothing happens, the FPS is around 70fps sometimes around 100 fps, sometimes a little lower. When this game came out, I could play this game without any problems with all the settings set to ultra, 1 screen at 1920 by 1080, I could even set the resolution scalling to 120%, I would get around 70fps it would run perfectly. I tried lowering the settings, tried out alls kinds of different settings, from ultra to low, but it still happens. I can play games like Rome Total War 2 on very high settings without this problem, so I really don't think this is hardware related. This problems began around three patches back, maybe four.
My setup:
Intel i7 2600k OC 4,4Ghz with a Mugen 2 cooler
8gb ddr3 1600
Nvidia GTX 690
Crucial M4 ssd
Windows 8.1
What I have tried to solve this problem:
I checked both GPU and CPU usage, CPU is not maxed out, around 70% , GPU is also not maxed out, SLI is on, CPU and GPU temps are both fine.
I have run the game with overclocking my CPU and GPU and without, no change.
I have tried running the game in compatibility mode for windows 7, no change.
I have tried setting the priority to high in the taskmanager, no change.
I reinstalled DX, no change.
I have disabled all background programms, no change.
I tried the latest Nvidia driver, but also a couple of older ones, no change.
I tried and repaired the game, no change.
I even reinstalled the game yesterday, and gues what, no change.
This is really getting anoying, when I first began playing this game I had almost no problems except for the problems everybody has, like the hitreg stuff. But the game ran perfect, now the last couple of months, starting as of the begining of this year, I can not play this game, what the heck is going on????? I have only one option left, and that is reinstall my windows, but I do not think this wil solve anything, all my other games run just fine. Games like Titanfall, Need for Speed Rivals, Rome Total war 2, Thief, Dark Souls 2, Castlevania los 2 etc etc run without any problems. The only game I play with a clan is Battlefield 4 and it does not work properly, I had enough of this **bleep**!!!!!
