    I might have found a viable solution. The problem is not your hardware or drivers but the outdated Windows 10 version you are probably running right now.

    The recent update brings DXR and other DirectX components necessary to play BFV.  I was running build 1803 until now and had similar issues with framerates around 10-20FPS, after updating to 1809 i get at least 80 up to 140.

    You need to install the Windows 10 October update (1809) to play smoothly.

    Go to Setting > Update and Security, check your Windows 10 build and search for updates.

    If this does not work, you can get the update from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    I am currently on 1803 ( just updating now thanks to your link as Windows was telling me there was no more updates) However, i did ask my brother what version he was on as his works but he is on 1803 also. Hopefully the 1809 build will fix the ones with the problem. will let you know results after updating.

      Does your brother have an Nvidia or AMD GPU? From what i read, most people with low FPS were using Nvidia cards.

      Glad i could help 😁

      BTW, i have a 1070Ti without RTX support, but the update nevertheless fixed the low FPS / High CPU usage. Is your brother is using a 10 series card? My bro has a GTX970 and it works for him on 1803. The 10 and 20 series seem to be the culprit with 1803. However i can't figure out wich AMD cards are affected.
