Had a few rounds tonight, and tbh it was running extremely well, (my slow connection aside). No consistency with this game at times tbh. Using driver ver 344.48.

thefogo · 12 Nov 2014 at 22:32

I even tried running one card and it's still unplayable.

If I shoot a rifle fully auto it stutters really bad. Maybe it's the new maps, idk.

thefogo · 12 Nov 2014 at 22:41

I've sorted it.
I realised the game was actually running in slow motion :confused:

My character was jumping like he was on the moon and my weapons were shooting really slow.
I restarted and everything is back to normal.

Bizarre.

I took the offered GFE update but skipped the driver update as of this info posted on day 1 here, have not got round to reading Guru3D's long thread on this driver.

I do not plan to play AC Unity till I play the older ones as only completed 1st game so no real need for this driver.

Just a system restart? Had you just installed new drivers as i noticed a pop up on GF experience today stating new drivers were available. Anyway, good to hear things are ok now.

I have experienced similar issues when I first got my 970s. Tried a load of other games and they were fine. Tried BF3 and it was also running terribly. 10-14fps at highest settings. I turned the settings to minimum and the FPS stayed the same but GPU usage dropped to like 7%

A reboot fixed it but I still have no idea what went on there...

Yep a system restart fixed it.
I installed the latest drivers last night, so not sure what the issue was.

It still stutters every 5 seconds or so with SLI, but it's at least playable now.

Smooth as butter. People saying i am a cheater but i got only a smooth performance in-game. I had stutter before. My 5on5 skill dropped hugh that time. (now 30-13 in competitive).

Ohh and don't forget to use Nvidia custom resolutions backup tool. You can even restart driver whenever you want etc..

If anyone playing BF4 on a GTX700 Series in SLi are you getting bad stutter on latest drivers?
I had the odd stutter in the past but never really affected my game but now spikes are getting so frequent its a bit of a mess.

This has happened since installing the last two Nvidia drivers, last night I removed Nvidia drivers using DDU and also reinstalled DirectX drivers within the BF4 folder but this has not changed a thing, Also I reinstalled some older drivers thinking it might be the new 900 series's upsetting the older gen but still getting the bad spiking/stuttering.

I have over time done all sorts of tweaks like hyper threading, un-parking cpu etc....

Any help advice would be appreciated

Thanks.

i tried all last three drivers in bf4 didnt notice much difference apart from other night when the servers were so smooth.

i think a lot of the lag stutter is serverside.

JamesM · 13 Nov 2014 at 08:56

Guys I get CPU spikes since the Battlelog down issue, never had a problem before

They must have done something as I never used to get spikes of in-game freezes.

I'm pretty sure it's not a GPU issue for me

I think I have got my BF4 stutter free again, I followed a thread on another forum and the guy said to set the BF4.exe to Administrator (both 64bit version and x86.
Then set Origin in game to off.

Give this a go and see if this works for you.
