Still low gpu +cpu load after new update

Just wanted to add, that every component on my pc is up to date (from drivers to firmware bios,...) , windows 10 october update installed (same issue before and after), none of my components are overheating,I monitor everything, no memory leak

@H1N1-JohnyBoy

We have seen an issue with performance with the 417.22 nvidia drivers, if you are using those can you revert to the 417.01 drivers set?

Let us know if this helps you and if not, please post your Dxdiag report here so we can take a look, thanks.

So I reverted to 417.01 driver and just tested both dx11 and dx12 and still same issue unfortunately

Here is the dxdiag you requested

Also it seems that a lot of series 9 gtx are afected, especially gtx 970, 980 and 980ti if that can help you

@H1N1-JohnyBoy

Let us know if the following helps you:

• Perform a clean boot before starting the game: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
• Research the "WindowsWcpOtherFailure3" error from your Dxdiag
• Run your CPU, GPU and RAM at stock clock speeds

Thanks.

Ok

So I did a -clean boot with cpu gpu ram OC : same issue with dx11on  FFR off : gpu and cpu load around 60%

                -  clean boot witch cpu gpu ram OC : same issue with dx12 on: run smooth than after a while gpu load will drop and I will get 20fp

               - clean boot with cpu gpu ram @ stock: same issue with dx11 on FFR off  gpu and cpu load around 60%

                - clean boot with cpu gpu ram @ stcok: same isse with dx12 on: run smooth than after a while gpu load will drop and I will get 20 fps

Regarding "WindowsWcpOtherFailure3"  I search the net but I must say I don't really know what to look for, I 'm kind of lost here

Thanks for taking the time to help me btw!

Best solution for me so far is to use the command "renderdevice.renderaheadlimit 2" with dx11

Unfortunately it will reset everytime I respawn! Do you know a way to fix that, bypass that?

I would consider it fixed if we could do that!

Thank you in advance

You can limit the pre rendered frames on the nvcpl. 😉

About the constant 20fps: Are you using borderless mode by any chance? That's a known bug, try using fullscreen.

EDIT:

Ffr off will always not fully utilize your hardware. It adds waiting queues for cpu and gpu.

Frame 1 get calculated on cpu, gpu is waiting. Gpu gets the data, renders the frame, cpu is waiting. Frame 2 gets calculated,...I hope you get the example.

Dx11 + ffr off = 1 pre rendered frame

Dx11 + ffr on = 3 pre rendered frames (windows default)

Dx12 + ffr off = 2 pre rendered frames

Dx12 + ffr on = 3 pre rendered frames

HI, thank you for answering me

I was indeed in borderless, just tried fullscreen and dx12 but unfortunately still same issue ☹️

Regarding the pre rendered frames in nvcpl can you confirm it's working because if set it to 1 in nvcpl and use ffr on it is still set to 3 in game

And if I set it to 2 in nvcpl and FFR off it will still be set to 1 in game.

So how can I set it to 2?

Thank you for your time

You are not alone. I had this same issue on my other desktop. I recently built a new desktop, gtx970ftw, ryzen 2600x asus b450, gskill 16gb 3000mhz, corsair 750w and a 480gb ssd. I'm still only getting 60% gpu usage. No way is my 2600x bottle necking my 970. There is something wrong with bfvs performance. There is no reason we should have to use pre-rendered frames to achieve this. I'm not the only person to report this, it is a known issue with bfv. You basically need a 2080 to get decent frames since the game (without FFR on) uses 60% of your gpu. Nobody wants FFR on, even at 2 pre-rendered frames you can feel the input lag. Sorry for the rant but this issue needs to seriously be looked at.
