Boderline unplayable - RTX 2080 and i5-8600k

Thank you for the report and attaching the video. The team is currently investigating reports of stuttering. Do you still experience this if you disable DXR in your game's settings? Disabling DX12 can also help remove stuttering.

BFV Known Issues

I just started playing BF5 again (didn't play for a longer time) and noticed that right now, maybe due to one of the last updates, it's completely overloading my CPU. I have an i7 8700k + RTX 2080, and as soon as I am in the game, BF5 is putting 98-100% load on the CPU.

All the time it hits the 100%, the GPU usage is dropping quite a lot, causing heavy stuttering. This is in DX11. Switching to DX12 reduces CPU load slightly (~95% average), but nevertheless it will still hit 100% frequently which also causes stuttering.

I know for sure, that directly after release last year, BF5 caused only 60-70% CPU load average on my 8700k. Back then, I had no stuttering at all. I was using Windows 10 1809 at that time, now I have 1903, maybe that's the reason?

The only workaround for me right now is to limit the fps. I play on 1440p+Ultra and usually have 110-140fps average. If I put a fps limit to 100fps, CPU usage drops by ~10-20% and the stuttering is gone.

So I rather sacrifice these ~40 fps to give more headroom to the CPU instead of having this nasty stuttering.

Thanks for getting back to us with specific details on what's happening from your end and steps that helped minimize the pain a bit. 

We appreciate you sticking this out with us. We're on it!

Am I an awful person if I bump this again ,saying performance has still bit a bit wild with my hardware? Only for Battlefield V.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlQqvVpb49c&feature=youtu.be this is DX11 , fps counter is up top right, but should be visible. 

I'm really not sure how to improve, would like to give BFV more time but it just won't perform on my hardware! Settings can be seen about 1:20 in teh video.

Any help or advice appreciated.
