    Thank you both for your suggestions and feedback. I hadn't checked this post lately because EA flagged it as spam, but I thought I would update this thread.
    I turned FFR off with DX12 on, and it did put slightly less strain onto the CPU, but still gets around 90% and up while in game. Turning DX12 off placed my CPU at 100% while sitting in the menu. So with FFR OFF and DX12 ON is the best combination for a low-end CPU. Although it still runs 90% at least while in game, which is a shame. People were saying in this other thread: https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/comment/1368603#Comment_1368603
    that even an i7-8700 were still getting the same performance issues. It sucks because I like the game, but having a hex-core seems almost necessary to play it, even though their recommended CPU's are far below the performance a hex-core CPU would give.
    Again, thanks for your guys' insight

It should be stable with high Fps. If you overclocked, remove your overclock and retest. There are many cases where overclock has the opposite effect.

Also check ur ping time to the server and I await your reply.

Ok. Will test without OC on CPU after work. Will update for sure.

    Ok, overclocking wasn't the issue, some obscure setting was definitely causing the issue, couldn't pin point what it was. I set the clock speeds to stock and was still getting odd stuttering issues.

    So I used the gamer OC profile that gigabyte has and that so far has fixed the issue. With everything maxed and resolution scale at 100 and 1440p, I'm getting roughly 70 fps fps even in intensive scenes and averaging between 90 and 110 fps. and don't feel the stuttering issue. So my only assumption is some obscure setting was affecting it. OC profile seems to have set everything just right and sets the clocks to 4.7 so I'm happy.

    Just wanted to update.

      Update 2: Ok, I figured out my personal issue for the micro stutters. In Nvidia control panel, I set the PhysX setting to the GPU instead of Auto and 100% butter smooth in game. Overclocked the PC back to 4.8 and set all my settings to what they were and still butter smooth. This is in DX12 as well. Only thing annoying with DX12 is the grass flickering at times. Ugh. lol

        Yeah taking everything back to default settings is usually the first step.
