High CPU usage BFV

Hi there,

I know this issue has been adressed multiple times already. I use an Intel i5-10400f (above recommended) and a GTX 1080 (also above). My CPU is pinned at 100% almost all of the time. In busy areas the FPS drops down to 50, normally I get over 144 FPS. I've tried switching between DX11/12. I've noticed it runs a little bit better on DX12. FFR is off. I don't know what to do to lower the CPU usage. 

Sorry for my bad english (I'm from Austria).

  • Your CPU may just be reaching the maximum amount of work it can do. This game seems to lean on the CPU. I play at 1080p with everything on Low because I have an old system and I see the CPU maxing out while the GPU jumps between 40-70% usage.

    Intel Core i5-4690k 3.5 (OC'd to 4.4) - Launched June 2014

    GTX 970 - Launched Sept 2014

    We're also playing an 'old' game released November 9, 2018 that isn't getting updated. 😞

    Thanks for your reply. I also tried switching the settings to their lowest. It runs even worse than on high or ultra. This doesn't make any sence to me. Higher settings = better performance?

    How does your i5 hold up in other Battlefield titles? Are you able to play 2042?

    I haven't tried to play 2042 yet. I may pick it up if it goes on sale for less than $20.
