780 Direct CU II Can't run Battlefield properly ? Help ? D:

[exotioner]

So pretty much as the title says.
I tried to run my 780 stock, OC'd, (+205 Core clock, +405 memory clock, using MSI Afterburner) Updating drivers to Latest, then to Beta, then back to latest ''official'' drivers, Updating my bios, and so on and so fourth.
I also updated my BIOS to the latest from Asus' Website.
I'm not sure what to do, since judging by MSI afterburner, my card runs stable at the overclock I put it at, it doesn't even hit 70 degrees when i stress tested it in Heaven's Unigine benchmark.
I tried to run Battlefield 4 on ultra, high, customized settings (Medium~high, Anti Aliasing Deferred off, Effects on low, rest I can't remember, but mostly Med-High)

Anyone know how to fix this ? As a Battlefield player, this really bugs me when I get into my littlebird (Yes, I spam that thing to death, sorry) and I fly around for a couple minutes without fps lag, and then my fps drops down to the 40's.

I tried xFactor's solutions such as his video with his video settings, and that config file he made to show the fps, remove motion blur, etc.

I'd appreciate ANY help x.x


Specs in case you need it :

Try removing your overclock and playing for a while. Even if it is stable it may cause conflicts with certain games.

[HouseOfGaming]

That...shouldn't happen

[FloRolf]

Check your core clock etc with the built in OSD and see if its stable at the oc you enabled. If not try to remove the oc.

 

Edit: I should learn to read first. weird stuff you got there.

[XTankSlayerX]

I would blame Battlefield 4. If you have battlefield 3, you should give that a shot and see if you still lag.

Yeah, I find it weird as hell too ._. And I have the same problem no matter if I play on ultra or custom settings, basically.

Then tell god to stop screwing with me pls ;_;

Will do. I'll report back in 1-2 games when I've tried it a bit and tell you the results.

Remove both Memory OC and Core clock OC ?

Yes, change the Core and Memory Clocks back to default and give it a try

I have it, but sadly I don't have it installed.. i think I'll check my external HDD's and see if I still have it laying around

Okay then. 

Thanks for the quick replies, All of you ! 

Even helping out newbies like me, You guys are the best ! :wub:

You could also try other games. Or is it only BF4?

[Sky Daddy]

it's battlefield 4, not your machine

[exotioner]

Uh, Only other game I play currently would be Dragon Nest, and to be honest there's a slight lag in there too, but it's very minimal, and it only happens when there's like 100+ players located within my render distance.

it's battlefield 4, not your machine

well, Any clue how I fix it ? Because it's actually extremely hard to fly a littlebird in between the smallest cracks in the map, under bridges, and stomping on rooftop campers with lag spikes D:

Edit : And just playing now, it already gives me lag spikes, just like before.

And P.s What's the OSD you were talking about ?

[FloRolf]

And P.s What's the OSD you were talking about ?

 

On Screen Display. It shows you all the stuff that is going on with your gpu. Like load, temps, core clock, memory clock etc. (But ingame so you dont have to go outside to see it of course)

Well, I have 2 monitors, so I normally have MSI afterburner run on 2nd screen just for safety

unpark cpu cores might help

Already done

I noticed something a little bit weird when I was just playing, and idk if it's just that I never noticed it, but..

my 780 seems to never be ''stable'' at a GPU usage. But that's probably normal.

Other than that, my Memory Clock and Core clock seems to be quite stable when I start up battlefield, to closing it. My core clock did have a little dip, but I believe that was when I Tabbed out to answer a skype message.

What GPU usage % are you getting in game & what CPU usage %? Make sure when monitoring CPU usage you use something like resource monitor so you can see per core usage & not just overall usage.

 

Also when your FPS dips to the 40s does it dip to the 40s & stay there or do you just start getting short dips to around that? Also what happens to your GPU usage & CPU usage when the frame dips happen?

Well, my GPU usage jumps all over the place, really. the cpu usage I didn't check, but will shortly ! 

.. Soo Apparently I forgot to post this.

Picture of my GPU monitoring via MSI afterburner : http://prntscr.com/3acmt7

Core Temp says my CPU cores were loaded about 70~85% all over the 4 cores, while sitting at ~60-62degrees.

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that I just re-installed DirectX via the setup in the battlefield folder, as that helped me gain a 8 or so percentage performance boost on my old pc, but apparently with this pc it made it stay around 40~60Frames consistantly.

Should I go download the newest DirectX ? :L

Are you using Vsync?

 

Also which OS are you using?

[exotioner]

Are you using Vsync?

 

Also which OS are you using?

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Vsync off. 

but after seeing you reply, I tried to turn it on. It somewhat seems smoother, but still not the experince a 780 should deliver

Correct 780 should run bf4 ultra no problem. Make sure you are using the 337.50 driver. 

 

If it doesn't happen with any other game then it is Battlefield, Also note BF4 runs much more smooth on windows 8.1. I have played on both windows 7 and 8 on the same computer setup and can definitely tell the difference. But I wouldn't suggest upgrading an OS for one game,

 

Other than that just make sure the card is properly connected. 

 

Oh what resolution do you play at?

Well, I just went on Tomshardware.co.uk and ALOT of people had the same problem. 

Came across 1 guy giving a very random guess. And I quote him : 

"Have you tried other games? Is vsync or other post processing being forced on by the Nvidia control software?"

What do you think of when he said that ? Other than Vsync ? I came to think of SHADOWPLAY.

Shadowplay.. Hmm, wasn't there something with it only decreasing your fps by ~5-10% ? 

How about 50% :L

I turned it off, and now it runs as smooth as a baby's bottom !

Well you're one tricky one, ain't ya. editing your reply after I answered

Oh well, I play at 1920x1080 on a 23.6'' Monitor from Acer.
