Re: Battlefield V stuttering issue

i have 8gigabytes of ram in total , i am using 8GB crucial ram that it's clock speed is 3000MegaHertz , also i use Empty Standby List to clean memory every 5 minutes by using a task scheduler 

i was running on a clean boot while still having stuttering issues and when i switched to normal boot i didnt notice any difference .

i noticed less stuttering when i updated my gpu to the latest drivers but i still have the stuttering issue 

also thanks for your time and help

    Hey @betmenFTW, thanks for the details! 

    When you are playing Battlefield V how much ram is used in total? 

    Also what settings are you using in the game?

    If you are playing on DX12 then try to switch to DX11.

    DX12 + FB2 are known to cause stuttering on some systems. Its seen in many FB2 games (Battlefield franchise, Battlefront franchise).

    Also while your specs are within minimum the recommended BFV is a memory hog both on RAM and VRAM. 8GB ram is on the short side and tests have shown that BFV uses up to 11GB RAM when available. Also the 6GB VRAM on your GPU is on the lower scale and with both the RAM and VRAM being barely adequate it may add up to the stutter behavior.

    The first thing you should try is to switch to the DX version you are not currently on. Also no need to the use memory cleaner for this game and in fact it may be a part of the problem, instead of a part of the solution. So dont have it running while gaming. Also check that that you havent turned of shader cache in nvidia 3d settings. If its off globally then turn it on, at least for BFV.

    In any case you should consider upgrading to 16 GB RAM. Those 8 GB is going to hold you back for many AAA games and adding another 8GB of 3000mhz RAM is not very expensive. Many tests shows that the sweet spot for gaming is 16 GB and one of the games tested is Battefield V

    It sounds like you are running out of ram while playing BFV, I recommend getting more in-general. @betmenFTW  

    If you are playing at the moment with 8gb then don't run any other program in the background, take a look on your task bar and see how many programs in the background are running.

    @EA_Atic i dont run any programs in the background , can i humbly request you to update the minimum system requirments to 12gb ram , because 8gb is clearly not enough and i dont want other people to suffer from this problem

    Did you try to change DX version?

    I know others who is playing with 8GB ram without stuttering, they only get less fps, so its not a general issue for everyone with 8GB ram. However they are playing on DX11 and not DX12

    But each system is different and what is fine on one PC may not be on another PC.

    Also put the entire BFV folder in your anti virus exclusion list if you havent done so already This includes windows defender if you do not use third party anti virus.

    Getting more RAM is a good thing for you regardless of Battlefield.
