Re: (BF5) Performance issues ever since update

@Fallschirm753 Your CPU cant pull off ultra settings in BFV smooth. Your CPU is 3.2 GHz with 4 Processor Count and its your 4 Processor Count hurting you so sadly you do need to get off the Ultra in BFV and try low settings and even then you may still get stuttering due to your CPU. I fully get its not easy to build a new PC as you would have to replace CPU MB and ram as well as your OS as the new CPU's force you to use win10. So to try and help you please do all this to see if it helps you....

For Origin turn off cloud storage and turn off origin in game. ___Make sure you turn both OFF



Open Nvidia Control panel under 3D settings go to Adjust image settings with preview

Pick use my preference and set it to performance and hit apply.

Next step in game video settings advanced in BFV and some settings you will not have due to your video card but set all you can.....

DXR enabled OFF



Nvidia DLSS OFF



High Dynamic Range OFF



Make sure frame rate limiter is set to 200

future frame rendering- off

vertical sync- off



UI Upscasling AUTO

GPU memory restriction- off

Below set graphics quality to custom



Everything on med or low but stuff below...



Mesh Quality is on Ultra try med and low find what works best you and you may have to  use low

Antialiasing post processing is on TAA LOW

Ambient Occlusion is OFF

FX amount is on LOW

DXR you cant turn off its on Ultra --- you will not have this setting



Under Basic Video settings do this for settings in BFV


motion blur set to 0
Under video Basic ....
ADS Fild of View - OFF

ADS DOF Effects OFF

Chromatic Aberration OFF

Vignette OFF

Lens Distortion OFF


To see fps in game with no typing do this....



To see FPS in game with out fraps etc:
1- open note pad
2-put this in the note pad.....

perfoverlay.drawfps 1

Perfoverlay.fpsdisplayscale 4 <<< this can change to 3 or 2 or 1 depending how big or small you want it. 4 is large.
3-when you make the user.cfg in notepad,change the file type from text to all. And name it user.cfg
4-Put in .....:\Program Files\Origin Games\Battlefield 5
5-Also close Origin to put cfg in just to be safe :}
6-You will see your FPS in top right of screen when you start BF5

If this does not fix it for you then do steps posted in my write up .....  https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Set-up-for-the-most-FPS-in-BFV/m-p/7166307#M2480

If you still have issues look at ..

It could also be Armoury Crate making issues or GForce experience if you have them installed.

    Well, upon further research, I found that my machine is more than capable of running this game. I can run Battlefield 1 on all ultra for example and I do get stuttering from time to time, yes, but my frames are always above 70 which is good for a game that runs on the same engine as BF5. I'm going to post on the bottom what the system requirements are for the game:

    https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

    Battlefield 5 Recommended Requirements

    • CPU: Intel Core i7 4790 / AMD Ryzen 3 1300X or equivalent
    • CPU SPEED: Info
    • RAM: 12 GB
    • OS: 64-bit Windows 10
    • VIDEO CARD: DirectX 11.1 Compatible video card 8GB AMD Radeon RX 580 / 6GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060)
    • PIXEL SHADER: 5.1
    • VERTEX SHADER: 5.1
    • SOUND CARD: Yes
    • FREE DISK SPACE: 50 GB
    • DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 6GB (8GB AMD)

    The required ram for this game is 12, I have 16. The video RAM that's required is 6GB as well as 8GB, I have 6 GB GTX 1060 as displayed above. And lastly, my CPU is an i7-4790 as displayed on the top. I meet the requirements for the game and shouldn't be having these issues. I used to run Battlefield 5 just fine with over 70 frames. Ever since they focused the update on the RTX cards, my frames have been complete and utter crap, and the stuttering is far worse than it was before. I don't mind if it stutters every now and then but it happens too often and that's what is really annoying. Other people have the same issue has me and they have far more of a gaming machine than me, 1080's, 4.0 CPU's, you name it, and they get the same issue.

    As stated above, my exact processor alongside my GPU and RAM is enough to power this game completely on ultra settings. The recommended requirements are exactly the specs that I have right now aside from the RAM that's displayed. This game only requires 12 GB worth of RAM and I have 16 which is over that. The recommended CPU is the i7-4790 (non K version), and then the GPU that's listed is the 1060 6GB which is what I have. My system should be more than capable running this on ultra settings. I get really good FPS on Battlefield 1 which uses the same exact engine as Battlefield 5. They did an update for Battlefield 5 that benefited RTX GPU users and it literally screwed the majority of people that own the 10 series GPU's. Some people are fine but most have an issue with the performance and lots of people have posted the same issue I am having on the forums. 

    This shouldn't be a problem as my system is more than capable of running this game. I also stated above that I always had smooth game play on Battlefield 5 until they came out with that dumb patch. That patch completely messed with my * along with hundreds of others that are having the same issue. Nothing wrong with my specs as said many times before. I can run every other game perfectly fine with high frame rates and Battlefield 5 seems to be the only game that I have a problem with. Are you really going to say that it's my PC?

    I would never imply that it would not be capable to run the game. But the actual required performance needed usually is bit more then one would hope for. So if you like to play on a big server / full blown settings,  you will need too always be above average specs to do so without hassle.
