A recent NVIDIA driver update resulted in Battlefield V running a very unsteady 90-120 fps (1080p ULTRA) Where I’m used to seeing a steady 140+ fps. I brought up task manager and found 100% CPU/ 90-100% GPU usage. I tried dropping the graphics setting all to LOW and found more or less the same results.
I decided the fault most likely was with the updates drivers. I rolled back the drivers, booted up BFV and managed to get 140-165 fps on 1080 and ULTRA with 100%CPU/<5% GPU usage. This seemed odd but at least I was seeing a much steadier and higher fps. However after about 30-69 minutes of similar performance things started to tail off. CPU/GPU usage remained more or less the same but fps dropped back down to 90-110.
This is more or less my first time playing BFV in a month or so, so I’m not sure if a game update could have an effect like this? I used to be able to get 120ish fps on 1440p ULTRA settings.
Sorry for the lengthy post.
Thanks!
