For starters, this is going to be a kinda lengthy post - simply for the nature of being as descriptive as possible in all aspects. I've been at this for days to no avail and my time off work is limited. I see other rigs with far less power running this game with no problem.. so what's my hook-up? Poorly filmed videos of the problem are also provided.
For starters...
Specs:
CPU…..Intel i5-6600k
GPU…..EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 980Ti SC ACX 2.0 (6gb vRAM DDR5)
MoBo….Asus z170 Pro Gaming ATX
RAM…..16gb DDR4 (2x8gb sticks)
PSU…...EVGA 750w GOLD
SSD…...Samsung EVO 250gb
OS……..Windows 10 64bit Pro
Problem:
So, I recently got BF1. The auto-detect function placed all of my settings at Ultra. Go to play the first few rounds of multiplayer, Conquest (32v32) - everything is fine, gameplay is as smooth as butter, I’m locked at a steady and unrelenting 60fps with vSync, I’ve got a good ~40 ping and full bars - everything was awesome. Then, after about the 5th game I noticed my game got a bit glitchy and the orange “Low FPS” icon on the right-hand side of the screen would flash in and out. Suddenly, when the action picked up, I got huge fps jumps like: 38, 29, 50, 39, 21, 5, 60, 58. On top of the lag spikes, my sound went glitching like crazy. It sounded as if I had just popped in a new Skrillex single. It made the game completely unplayable, and it happened the whole time afterward and into the next match. My ping was still solid as it was prior, at ~40. I backed out and went into the menus and the lag followed me there. Every time I would switch between menu tabs or highlight another option, the sound would lag and go crazy. So, out of curiosity, I went and played the campaign and what do you know? The problem persisted. Crazy lag spikes and sound distortion. So that rules internet out, no? If I exit the game and restart it, the problem persists but not as severe. If I restart the computer, the game will play again for another 3-5 rounds before it goes haywire again. Every other person I've ran this by is confused, replying with something along the lines of "Your rig shouldn't be having any trouble running this". What gives? 🙁
Legwork done/Things already tried:
- Booted in safe mode, removed all driver software, rebooted in default, reinstalled freshest set of drivers provided by nVidia (375.95)
- Removed Origin Launcher and reinstalled it
- Removed BF1 and reinstalled it
- Disabled DX12
- Placed settings from Ultra to Low (made things worse, surprisingly)
- Disabled Origin functioning in background and in-game.
- Disabled Shadowplay
- Disabled vSync, capped frames with third party application (RivaTuner) - same result + screen tears.
- Lowered the default resolution upscaling to limit “supersampling” and it fixed nothing.
Notes:
- CPU idles at 24°C and when playing BF1 it loads at around ~34°C
- CPU usage fluctuates from ~70%-90%
- GPU idles at 37°C and when playing BF1 it loads at around ~51-71°C
- GPU usage fluctuates from ~51%-78%, rarely going above 80
- Happens in Multiplayer and Campaign (and the menus)
- Other games, Skyrim SE (with around ~100 mods), runs flawlessly. (yes, I know it isn't too demanding) & Halo 5 Forge works fine.
- Does the same thing regardless of one or multimonitor display setup. Does the same thing when using GPU audio or MoBo audio.
