Why is my Battlefield 4 so slow?

[scottbowsher]

I recently bought Battlefield 4 and started playing but found it very hard to play with an fps of around 15-20, despite nothing but good reviews on the gtx765m. My laptop has this as a GPU and an i5-4200m for a CPU. Also, a 64bit OS.

Can someone help me with trying to fix this or to just get a decent framerate on better graphics? Thanks.

Hello, can I ask what settings your running at and what resolution? Also, do you have updated drivers?

Shows 20fps average on ultra for that GPU and game with a higher end CPU than your i5 so seems about right.

I am running it at 1920*1080 60.01z, and at medium settings. I am pretty sure my drivers are updated since I got this laptop in early February.

Hmm, like the answer above the benchmarks are showing around 30fps, it's wired that your getting less, it may be because you have a weaker CPU or that they are testing it in less intense situations, try googling round a bit more, sorry I can't help more but I honestly don't know why. If you can't find a solution try reducing the resolution to 1600 x 900 or lowing the settings, also make sure your resolution scaling is on 100%, that's something you could also try lowering to increase performance. Hopefully someone else will know a solution.

Good luck!

Turns out I hadn't downloaded the correct drivers, and now it runs as smooth as silk on ultra. Thanks for the advice!
