I am still getting stutter or freeze on 02/27/2019 with the 419.17 Nvidia driver.
I don't think there is a problem with your PC. BFV is at fault. I play my other non-DXR games fine. Test DXR with another game like Metro Exodus to see if you get problems too to rule out faulty video card. May be you can test DXR 3DMark Port Royal on a loop. You deserve a plug and play BFV experience.
Stutters still occur with BFV March 5TH update and 419.35 Nvidia driver.
Are all of you all using Windows 10? If so, I've had this issue before with battlefield 1 among other games and it boiled down to some RAM memory leak bug that's been with Windows 10 for the longest time.
For some reason Microsoft has yet to actually fix it so those who game on Win 10 have had to put up a scripted manual fix. It's the instructions regarding emptystandbylist
@F33bz That's basically what ISLC does, except ISLC keeps track of available RAM and the size of the standby list to purge exactly when needed.
Since I've started using ISLC I've not encountered a single freeze anymore, so I guess it has solved the problem. I have not tested with DXR enabled yet, I will when I have time and post here once I've done so.
I've tested with DXR enabled again, and there are still stutters, but less of them than originally. This is with the latest NVidia drivers as of writing. It seems like some of the stutters/freezes where caused by memory mismanagement by windows 10, but some of them are probably caused by turning on DXR. Either that or the DXR implementation is sensitive to this windows 10 bug in a way that cannot be worked around using ISLC.
For those interested, I'm using ISLC set to purge when free memory is less than 4GB and the stanby list is at least than 1GB. With DXR disabled this seems to resolve the freezing/stuttering problem.
Thanks to @Lokotron73 and @F33bz for their suggestions, and hopefully someone from EA (@EA_Blueberry?) has some idea on how to solve DXR-related stutters.
