Pretty sure Battlefront 2 was rushed and didn't go through proper QA channels testing on a variety of systems. If you watch your video carefully not only are you getting stuttering but also terrible texture pop in. That's the game, not you. It's horrendously optimized. I have an i7 6700k and a GTX1080 and I'm getting the same pop in. I kinda suspected it was a cash grab when they front loaded it with pay 2 win straight out of the gate. Not DICE's finest work by a long shot.
Started swapping PC components before I realized it's not me. It's the game. I've tried about 1TB worth of games to benchmark my system. It's only Battlefront 2 that performs like this.
Here's an example of the 10 hour trial on an i7 6700k and GTX 1080.

Just started playing about 5 hours ago and everything was fine. I was really surprised to see the game run so smoothly...being from EA and all. Then I started getting the same thing you guys are talking about. It started almost unnoticeable at first, little hiccup here, small freezeframe there. After another hour of game play it's utterly unplayable. I asked around in the match to see if anyone else was having the same issues...and of the ones that actually answered, they all reported the same graphics lag happening to them but their FPS was not affected.
This is the definition of a "Game Breaking Bug" but in this case...it's not a bug. I've never actually seen a case of poor optimization this severe, it's somewhat amusing for the first minute or so to see what it looks like when a game developer completely disregards the industry standards of digital optimization and pushes a game out the gate.
Very disappointed in DICE, and I'd be shaming EA as well but EA gets about 95% of their revenue from FIFA so it's not like they'd even bat an eye at a failure like this.
Edit: 30 minutes more in game play and a grenade detonated next to me in multiplayer, I leaped out of the way as it did and everything froze. I sat there looking at the screen thinking "Well this is just fine" and then I moved my mouse...and found that I could still look around just fine. It's quite the strange experience, everyone in game began complaining that the game was freezing up and I'm over here like "Wow! The game froze but I can still look around, explosions and blaster fire frozen in mid air"!
LOL, this is really bad.
