Severe performance issues in BF5 on good rig..help please!

Hi guys,

I have a really strange issue in BF 5 and at this point I am at a total loss what to do.

My system is the following:

Win 10

I7 4Ghz

16 GB Ram

GeForce 1080

Game is running from a SSD

Every other recent game runs smoothly on high settings on this rig (as it should, considering the components). However when I start BF5 and join a full server my frames drop to a constant 15 frames (FIFTEEN FRAMES). Nothing can change this value, Dx11/12, Vsync on/off, Preloading frames on/off, settings to ultra/low…NOTHING CHANGES

However when I play the warstories (the singleplayer part) I have constant 90+ frames, so I thing this must come from the online part somehow. Also when I manually select servers that are empty my framerate is fine as well, however the more players join the lower it gets (although those playermodels aren’t visible at that point) up until the point of the initially mentioned 15 frames.

I have no idea what is causing this issue, I just was able to narrow it down to the amount of players on the server. I would appreciate any input to this matter, because it is driving me crazy! Thanks a lot in advance!
