Battlefield V

Long time BF1 player, games runs great with no issues.

I have noticed though that the games are often spoiled now by cheaters, someone the other day was invisible, but their gun was invisible. They got 178/0 on kills and then quit. Ruined it somewhat.

This seems to be becoming more common and the amount of games is getting less and less.

So I thought I would give BF5 a go, bought it a while ago but never really played it much.

Gave it ago today, seems to run fine on the FPS (around 75ish) during play.

What I have noticed it that the game appears to stutter on occasions, almost like its lagging.

Is this a game issue, or could it be that my specs are not enough to run it well?

I have left the game to decide on best video options, but am running it at 1440p @ 144

I have a 2600 with a 1070

Thanks in advance for any help.

V-sync off?

BFV is well optimised, but I'd be amazed if your 2600 CPU could do a consistent 144hz at 1440p

Try changing between dx11 and DX 12. Dx12 would cause bad stutter for me

Even with my 3900X/2080Ti I get some stuttering on DX12, running DX11 is much smoother.

Also cap framerate in game to less than refresh of monitor.

Thanks all, will try and revert

Excellent, turned off DX12 and capped frame rate to 144 - runs great now; getting high 70 FPS during play and no stuttering.

Thanks v much all

As a further update, did a fresh install of Windows and only installed what I need in terms of software and add ons. Now running at high 80s and into the 90s. Happy days!

Does anyone struggle with the HDR? Seems to be way too harsh and shiny.

Yes. DX12 is crap in this game.

Something I've only recently found with BFV, if I want to run DX12 I need to disable Shader Cache in the nVidia control panel. The annoying thing is, if I set up a program specific profile then BFV will enable it the next time I load the game, apparently nVidia are aware of the behavior.

I Have recently made the switch to DX12 as my GPU was bottlenecking don't get any stutters

how are you finding the game I know the server chats can be a little toxic at times but there are some good groups of players online

but without the clan servers its hard to create a community like we had with KNG

say hello if you see any of us about [LEGO] clan
