Hey cheukhei28, I´m in a similar situation with multiplayer but my FPS are good, I struggle with framedrops/lagspikes.Like you, I tried everything, changed settings, and so on..But to be honest, everyone knows you shouldn´t have to to that..But well, in Battlefield games you will try everything that allegedly helped someone ^^Like I said, I did that, too :D (with the last four battlefield games :D)But it is a software issue and the best thing you can do is to reset everything to default that you changed and be patient.What you can do in the meantime:Type "perfoverlay.drawgraph 1" and "perfoverlay.drawfps 1" in the console, which will show you your CPU´s and GPU´s frametimes (time the CPU/GPU needs to render one single image which you see 60 of in one second when you use a 60Hz monitor, and which you will see 144 of in a second if you play a game at a 144Hz monitor and so on)And then with the graphs and the FPS shown, just be ingame some time (do that with single- and multiplayer) and watch for those extreme spikes..Whenever I feel a drop in the framerate, my frametimes go up ridicuously high (over 1800ms CPU and over 450 ms GPU)..And that is one point you just can´t talk down like "your CPU is too weak" :DBut there it got interesting for me..before I knew about the frametime-graph, I only felt the framedrops in multiplayer, but today I saw that they also happen in singleplayer (seems like my framedrops in SP are WAY shorter so I never really felt them)My specs:i5 7600k, 16GB RAM, GTX 970I play multiplayer on lowest settings in FHD at DX11.Tried every "fix" you can find in forums, the best I get is mid 90 FPS in multiplayer, but then there are the drops to mid 70 FPS (which always feel like drops to 15 FPS)..I use a 144Hz monitor so I really care about high framerate, but if I cap it to 60Hz, everything is fine, not ONE dropped frame..So all answers I get in discussions or a forum is "CPU bottleneck, buy an i7"Sry for the long text, but I am very interested in this topic.. Mainly because

are u running on latest windows build 1809?

And just a quick update on my path of seeking framesI contacted EA customer service and told them about my situation.They said they received similar reports from other players, mostly using the GTX 1080 graphics card.They are still looking into the problem and should be fixed with an update in the future.To be honest, I believe there are many players facing the similar problem and got replies saying that "You got CPU bottleneck" or "get an i7"We tried everything we can, we saw benchmark from the similar build on youtube that runs smoothly.It is not always a bottleneck problem.

Did you monitor your system usage during play to identify the bottleneck?Try using MSI Afterburner or HWMonitor.See which component is maxing out in usage, or if you have a thermal throttle.

Checked that, Done thatNo bottleneck IdentifiedI notice this only happens when I enter a populated server but not empty serverI get excellent graphics and FPS in empty server

To be honest, I am pretty sure it is a software problem but not a hardware problem
I see no problem running other high demanding game in Ultra with stable 60FPS
I played BF5 beta and it was smooth.

The fact that it has issues on populated servers, tells me it's probably something with the CPU. Because more players usually increases CPU usage.
What is the per core usage during game play?

It's about 50-60% load in a populated server.
I had no issue in BF1

Sounds like specific bug with the game or net code. Maybe submit a support ticket with EA.

Just to rule it out, how is your network performance during play?
Try to ping your default gateway during 64 player multiplayer.
E.g., type in command prompt
ping 192.168.1.1 -n 20 (or whatever gateway ip you have; use ipconfig to find it)

Have you tried the following?
Open up "NVIDIA Control Panel" -> from the NVIDIA Control Panel, select the "Manage3D settings" from the left column -> click on the Power management mode drop down box and select "Prefer Maximum Performance".
Seen this on GTX 1080s, another option is to toggle between DX11 and DX12 from ingame.
