BF4 Weird Stutter

ajhakra · August 5, 2014

So whenever I am playing BF4 with Mantle enabled my game seems to suffer from massive stutters ranging from about 0.5s-5s. This happens often and usually when I am about to shoot someone. I don't get these problems when using DX11. My system spec is as follows:

CPU- FX 4100 4.2GHz
GPU- R9 280X OC
RAM- 8GB 1333Hz
HDD- 2TB WD green.

Any help is appreciated!(I've already unparked my CPU and it didn't fix the problem)

I have almost the same specs (check signature) and i have these problems too. Not always though, just some matches. Weirdly, i do have better FPS when using Mantle.

Verify if you have a cpu bottleneck.

Here's a copy of one of ym previous posts:

Open Windows Task Manager. (search it in start menu OR press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and open it from security screen)

Now that your the matrix god of the digital univers ein your PC (not quite)

Go to performance Tab. And look at the graph if one of your cpu cores hit 100% while playing BF4, thats a wall bottlenck (caus eI happen to call it that way B) )

If all cores hit 100%, its a full bottleneck. (then you can tell us and yourself if there's a cpu bottleneck) ( its actually more complicated then that but its ok)

Go to processes tab.

There you will find BF4.exe along with all the other crap running ony our computer.

See how much % of your cpu BF4 uses. If its 70% and your cpu is at 90% this means everything else in your computer uses 20%. so if you want more fps because your a ''tearing no-sync madman'' You can clean some of the other stuff running on your computer, like the microsoft spyware along with other crap my prebuilt PC OS had.

If you terminate something you shouldn't you can always restart it or restart your computer as it doesnt delete files.

If you use teamspeak, using a channel without voice encryption will lower cpu usage from 2-3% to 0-1%

If you use skype, then you should consider to move away because skype is stone age and TS is electrical age.

The latest patch has some memory leak issues which is shown as random lag, fps drops and stutter. Reboot before gaming helps a bit.

The Dragons Teeth patch in July. I have this problem currently everytime I go to play after having pc running whole day without booting.
