Battlefield 4 Beta not using GPU?

[Mr. Brovahkiin]

The Battlefield 4 beta refuse to use my GPU. When I go to play it my MSI afterburner overlay doesn't show up and I I get maybe 5-6 FPS. Every other game works fine. I unistalled (using AMDs utility) and reinstalled multiple versions of AMDs drivers including the latest 13.10beta2 drivers and no luck. I have a 7950 and no matter what settings I play on I can't get it to utilize my GPU at all. Any help?

Try reinstalling Battlefield 4

Done already. Forgot to mention that

You tried older drivers yet?

[BlackOutCrisis]

Everyone is having this problem, it maxes my 3570k @ 4.3ghz out. I don't believe there is a fix because it is just how it is coded to run.

All the way back to 13.2

Well shit.

This is why we have beta so they can fix these issues.

Its using the GPU for me. 70+ FPS on Ulrta

No, it works fine with my 680. 60+ FPS on high settings, consistently 120+ on medium.

MSI afterburner wasn't working right for me either (version 2.3.1).. It shows my GPU usage, temperature, and clock rates, but it doesn't show the FPS, frametime, or OSD..

 

Have you tried reinstalling MSI afterburner, running the game without it active, or resetting to stock clock rates?

He didn't actually mean everyone...

The OSD doesn't work in 64 bit games(same for evga precision) ,so you can't see fps/frametimes, if you want to check fps you can either use the ingame console command (perfoverlay.drawfps 1) or fraps

 

 

List of console commands

 

As for the low gpu usage, try setting mesh down to medium (helped me get from single digits to 30 ish fps) , but like blackoutcrysis is saying ,there are alot of people saying they got 100 % cpu usage and not getting decent fps,and its beeing looked into (listed as a known issue if you check battlelog)

Yeah I set everything to low so I think it's just an issue with the beta

[Flamewalker]

Yer, if you see people with sli titans having issues getting 40 fps on low then there is something off  , i just hope they bother fixing it before the beta ends.

Then why did he say "everyone"? 

[Mr. Brovahkiin]

Getting a total of 5-21 frames LOLOLOL

Sorry I missed this post. Tried all of it and same thing. Has anyone tried running it with their CPU at stock settings? It doesn't make sense that it would do anything but it's something else to try

My CPU is always at stock settings (laptop, lol).. My i7-3610QM has typically been running between 50-60% load (on all 8 threads), and I didn't have any major issues like the ones most people have been describing, so maybe there is something there..

running it off my onboard GPU on my 4670k....it runs fine on low settings. really well actually 25-30fps at 1080p

[SkilledRebuilds]

I'm using DXtory, showing FPS as well as capturing 1080p 30fps while playing with 45-60fps (7950 OC)

Turning a setting or two to high, puts me up to 80fps.

Using 40-60% CPU while playing, up to 75% while recording on top.

I think there are so many small bugs in this build they wont be able to iron it out before the beta ends.

I also believe this is a earlier build, like Alpha+ bit of polish and textures,.... nowhere near the final current stages they have "at the time of beta"

When the building drops, performance does a little, calculations....smoke and debris, forseeable performance hit, not so bad...

Loving it.

This is not normal for a beta. This is a huge problem, the game using 100% of CPU and not much of the GPU. Betas are supposed to have very minor glitches or bugs or not at all.
