Found the root cause
Windows 10 enables a kind off vsync , noticed this by msi afterburner, my game was always running on 144 HZ (144fps) so even the intro that normally caps at 200 fps was now even 144 fps
tried few things than maybe vsync was enabled, removed settings folder from my documents, reset nvidia control panel, started game, nothing, stays at 144 fps and Gpu runs max at 64 % now
so was a hardware limit
than i went to my installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront II ====> starwarsbattlefrontii.exe = right click on it ==> properties ==> compatibility ==> change settings for all users ==> select " Disable full-screen optimisations "
i know this a known issue for other games, but since the latest patches seems i had huge fps drops = this selected , and Gpu runs back at 99% , in my case back high frame rates without drops
ingame graphic setting = High , no vsync, no film grain , no motion blurr , no vignette
attached Two screenshots from ingame : start from a new round , lock to fps and the graphic line

the same for me : ALL my games run perfectly !
I think something is broken since the update with the 3d engine of the game : I ve just tried a 1080p screen with 60 hz (old screen that I keep for testing only 😉 ) and u know what ?
My 2080 Ti is at 100% with 1080p@60hz vsync on with dx12 mode , it s just completely weird !!! that s why we have so many problem , in dx12 mode , 3d engine is completely bugged since the update.
- 6 years ago@cyberfredcobra Yeah, tried everything.. definitely game is bugged

Hi Guys,
was just testing it on dx12 = same issue indeed, also it ignores now my setting to disable the "full screen stuff", again its like the game is limited to the hardware and limited at startup the game at max framerate of your screen , in my case 144fps (monitor 144hz)
played few minutes and see attached pictures "dx11 and dx12" , you see now again the weird graphic line from msi afterburner and the major fps drops
if i look between the pictures from dx11 and 12 , look to my Cpu watt
dx11 at 63,7 W
dx12 at 79,1 W
@EA_Blueberry do you know more about the difference for Directx 11 and 12 for this game and Cpu related ? in my opinion its seems that dx12 is pushing the cpu to hard ?
Regards
