BF4 FPS Drops

TheTacticsGuy

Aside from the crashes, disconnects, poor netcode, etc. Are any of ye guys seeing some crazy FPS drops??? Playing Obliteration on Operation Locker last night with settings as High, I was getting 80-110 FPS with occasional drops to about 50 FPS and straight back up to 80-90. The Zavod 311 map brought it to the lowest I've seen so far which was about 40 FPS. Anyone else seeing these mad drops?

Does it still run smooth though as i get around the same high/low frames without noticing the frame drops.
Lots of explosions will make the frames drop which is normal.

During a 20 min game it will run smooth for about 75% of the time but the frame drops obviously affect it. I used to notice the same in BF3 for certain maps like Seine Crossing but it was fixed in a later patch.

I even tried turning down the settings to medium and low but the frame drops are still there too.

What Cpu and Gpu do you have?

Nologogo

I've never had this problem, but some of the ShoX lads tried this "unparking cores" malarky (see xFactors video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkfIFP0g2xY) and have said its made a huge difference to them.

Would recommend, on their behalf, that you take a look.

Are you using the recommended Nvidia drivers for bf4?
Afaik there were some problems with Nvidia users and bf4.

If you have the right drivers you should try that unparking cores program in the video that Nologogo posted.Its worked well for some people.

No fps issues at all, only issues for me are the crashing,sound bug and dodgy netcode.
Only! he says :rolleyes:

I am using the latest drivers but I haven't tried the unparking yet. A coupe of questions about that actually:

Is it easy to reverse the unparking and does it affect an overclocked CPU?

I'm getting FPS issues on some maps when I'm Scoped on sniper rifle, it can get really bad sometimes, I have an i5 3570 3.4 8gb RAM and a HD7850 2GB not OC.

That's shocking would you not go 780 ti or 290 x tut tut tut

With the recent server fixes i went back up to Ultra and getting 70fps steady with drops every now and again.

Set everything to max and work my way back down

Was cheap enough compared to the other two. Don't want a reference 290x either & no one knows when the non reference cards will be out so I just said feck it & got this.
