Anyone have/know of a fix for this problem with the newest Nvidia drivers? I have a 750ti, windows 8.1 and the rest is in my signature. It feels really crappy playing at 30 fps again... :P

Just go back to the last driver. They should fix it soon and 30fps is fine to play. It'll just be like playing on a console :P

I went back one driver and it stayed the same. And my shadowplay is not working now... D:

 

I will try again though....

My friend had a similar issue with BF3. Moving back a driver also, did not help :/

Feel free to message me if you want to chat!

*puts on tinfoil hat*

EA is nerfing BF3 to force players to move to BF4 and hype Hardline

*takes off tinfoil hat*

 

Hey, at least it's not as bad as what I experienced..

45fps drop to 3fps because fuck me. Still have no clear idea why this happened...

It's a known issue after the latest DLC. Probably it's going to be fixed after the next patch.

My BF3 game for a few updates have now been only running at 3 fps. I gave up on that game. :P BF4 right now is like Vsync is on, and is locked at 30. it fluctuates from 27 to 31fps. :P

Shall we start a thread? I'd like to see how many of us experience the drop in performance (and hopefully make it to the WAN Show)
