My rig and BF4

He's using an AMD card Grady, also what is your resolution scale at? Make sure it's set to 100%

It is. Ive tried all the magic in the book. Only thing I havent tried is runing over my PC.... Koffh '' Tempted'' :P

Looked thru the thread and could not figure out if you were trying to run at high or ultra.. In my experience there is no way to run a fps's at ultra and maintain a constant framerate.. (even people with the newest cards). Some of the graphics settings have to be adjusted, get the least fps change possible at your desired framerate and then turn on v-sync. It looks beautiful on ultra settings.. but honestly, unless I am looking at a recording, I never notice the difference from ultra and a mix of med/high settings..

Hope you get it figured out...

1 hour ago. I was gaming sunken dragon. I had 140 fps on medium settings at the best. Then it droppet to 35-40. I dont need my fps to be constant. I need it to be balanced. A framdrop of over 100 fps is noticeable enough to ruin gaming experience. and it happens often.

I would have used V-sync, but the input lag is way to huge for me to be comfy with or get used to.

Ofc I can lock my FPS in console, but that still gives me screen taring etc, and the fps drop is still there.

[AOD_TwistedKusty]

you may have miss understood me.. you don't want the drops or peaks. you want to adjust your settings to maintain constant frames, with no dips or peaks.. That is a pretty big drop.. that would ruin it for me to. Wish I could be more help.. If you haven't gotten together with Grady, you should, he is our in house guru on these matters.

I'm running an R9 290x as well and in the last couple months have been experiencing frame rate drops in BF4. Do your drops stop after a couple minutes, because this has been my experience. I play 110-120 fps on high/ultra, then i dump down to 40-50s for a couple minutes. Eventually it stops and bumps back up to the 100s no problem. Does this once every couple hours or so. It's followed me through driver updates and a recent OS reformat as well. I personally think it is something with the new Crimson drivers they put out, but i haven't been able to confirm. I've had resource software watching my temp and % utilization of CPU/RAM/GPU but don't see any correlation.

I also noticed in the last week that if I alt-tab out between matches and load backup, my FPS tanks to 20s. I had been having to completely reboot my system to fix it. Last night i did an Alt + Enter and hit windowed mode then swapped back to fullscreen and it fixed the FPS. Just weird little things. I've been happy with my 290x, but I may have to give one of the new nvidia's a go soon.

To be honest. I have no clue what actaull framrate I am gaming at when we talk about ''stable'', no matter what settings I run on. Dosent really seem to make a difference. At least not noticeable.

I had a game, on a norwegian hardcore server 60 Hz. Had the settings on medium, 90-120 stable, with drops down to 40. Changed to high/ultra, same thing.
Even in a regional server, with the same Hz tickrate as my monitor BF4 drops. Im out of ideas.

My setup is really starting to piss me off!!! I am so close to buy a really good high end PC, so I can blame everything on the game :P

NO MORE AMD after this PC. INTEL and NVIDIA only.

I've had similar issues. Also with a AMD CPU. I have heard some people enabling One Core per CU and it helps them. it did not help my case though. this is enabled in the BIOS. Have you monitored your cpu usage? Mine is always high when playing bf4.

Somethings I have done that have helped a little bit (or it seems like it has)...

Is disable origin in game overlay. Also you should try assigning a static IP and setting up QoS on your router so as your computer basically gets first dibs. Also I would setup port forwarding for bf4 on your router.

Here is a guide on what ports you need to forward. I would just do the UDP ports since those ones are the only ones transferring actual game data.

also make sure there are no windows updates pending. for some reason when i had some pending the windows update service was taking up a lot of my cpu usage.

Thanks for the tip :)

I have tabbed out of bf4 to check CPU usage. And its not high, last it was working at 60 %. Maybe I rather should use a monitor software instead to get more accurate data?

One core per CU? hmm. New to me. Gonna check it out.

*Port forwarding, that I did on my PC. I cant really remember if it made mutch of an impact, so guess it didnt since I cant remember :P Worth a try tho :P

This program is pretty good for monitoring.

also cpu-z by the same company,

and core temp

I use CPUID already :P

About the port forwarding BF4.. Ive given up :P Tried many times. And now I get this error : ''The TCP port 80 is reserved for Remote MGMT HTTP port '' when I try to forward port 80...

I dont want to mess with something I dont know what is or do :/

Sucks tho, if it could have made a difference..

Thing I have ans static IP now, who knows. Followed the giude :P

I wouldn't do the TCP forwarding. I have no clue why they recommend port 80 even. port 80 is for general web traffic (http).

What version of Windows are you running? I just upgraded to windows 10, and bf4 runs so much better than on windows 7

Windows 10 here as well, 64 bit :/

Ok, so I am going to give this up and settle with that BF4 is a masterpiece of bad coding and cluster-sofware/coding/driver-fuck...

CS:GO runs fine, 300+ fps when gaming competetive on medium settings.
GMOD runds fine, even tho is made on a old engine.
GTA5, runs smooth with some hints of lag on high settings.
Battlefront runs as silk, no fps drops, no lag, no stutter, nothing.

So this tells me, that BF4 is the problem and the support for the game from driver developers....

End of that story.

So that'd be AMD Driver/Firmware developers, not DICE/EA >.>

Would say both.. Since many other equal demanding games runs painfree compared to bf4

Ok so good news, at least some good in it :P

I tried one last thing, or actually five :P

1: I re-installed BF4
2: I downloaded a app called Revo uninstaller pro and deleted everything that I knew I didnt need.
3: I did a clean removal of my GPU driver, followed by another system cleanup and defrag of D disk.
4: I downloaded the latest driver from AMD: 16.6.1 Beta
5: I disabled mantle in PROFSAVE.PROFILE

Enabled perfoverlay.drawgraph 1 and perfoverlay.drawfps 1. And the results were = My CPU and GPU marked with red and yellow color in the graph were for the first time synchronized. It seems as if my GPU and CPU now share the workload.
The stuttering is gone almost close to 100%, no huge lag, and the best: NO fps drops below 70.

Finally.. Lets hope this is a permanent thing and not just a good day for my PC :P

I have a question. do you set your mouse polling rate in razer software? is it set to 1000? is the lowest 125? if so set it to 125 and try it. let me know.

Aha! I think I know where you heading :P

Yes, my polling rate was 1000. Now I set it do 125, and I expect to see even more improvement in bf4 :P
