Hi all, discover a very useful tip to reduce stuttering in BF4 even you have a very high specs!

Stumble upon the following web site when I am pissed off with the stuttering

http://forum.cakewalk.com/Windows-7-amp-Co...F-m1861804.aspx

I am using liquid cooling, by turning off the CPU rest in BIOS, running at full 4.3 Ghz all the time also reduce stuttering tremendously.



if slowpoke sorry ya

No issue with stuttering on GTX460 or R9 280X. Specs are in my siggy.

Just bad luck for some of you guys.

good for u! i am using R9 290 Direct CUII also kena stuttering every now and then. But after changing all these, no issues with it ... seems like BF4 CPU hogging ...

when i'm playing bf4 on dx11 api.there are no stuttering issues but when i use mantle,the game stutters a lot.I'm using windows 8.1 with the 7870xt an the 8350 overclocked to 4.6ghz.Any solution bro?

download msi after burner.

when the stuttering happens, alt + tab out and check ur GPU usage, is it 100% all the time? if yes, suggest that u download driver cleaner, go into safe mode and remove ur driver first.

after that, reinstall 14.4. see whether it happens again

ok on top of setting the CPU registers, got another solution for micro stuttering issues.

I have used smart defrag tool. free to download from the internet.

In smart defrag, select Battlefield 4 folder, normally: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4. select defrag "Fully Optimize and Prioritize Files" the entire process will take ~ 1 hour, around 40 GB in size.

upon defrag completion, restart your pc.

start bf4 and u should feel the difference.

i dont know my question is related or not but im posting too.
My BF4 runs fine in game but when at menu selecting guns, the character at background seems lagging and hard to select gun, its like delayed and framerate drops. Same goes to scoreboard when end match, any idea what is happening ?

i7 4700HQ
GTX 760M
12GB RAM

bumping old threads... would ssd provide better gameplay ?

I notice that there are still stuttering every now and then. and i can hear hard disk activity ... i believe its due to the loading of something was done on the fly and i am just using normal hdd. the stuttering just happened for few seconds then gone repetitively ... very annoying. planning to get an ssd such that the loading can be done faster...

even with hdd i never had any stuttering.
ssd just helps u load slightly faster, more ram even faster.

Do it. You'll benefit heaps from the SSD!

yea, just remember...do not get 128gb...min at least 256gb.

anyone using this: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD ?

whats ur disk swap space when u use ssd? is it even required?

also when do you need to defrag an SSD, is it a good idea?

Here's a fix I've come across, and it only works for Nvidia GPU's.

1. Open up the "Nvidia Control Panel" located in the bottom right hand corner of your screen (where your clock, internet connectivity, etc is located)

2. Browse to the "3D Settings" tab on the left hand side and make sure you're in the "Global Settings" and not the individual programs (right side of menu)

3. Scroll down to the "Maximum Pre-rendered frames" tab and change it from "Let program decide" to "1". Save your changes and exit out.

4. Boot up Battlefield 4 and have a good time!

ok guys, case close.

just got samsung evo 850. installed fresh windows, bring over battlefield 4. install and play

"0" lagging / stuttering anymore!

this one actually reduces lag input considerably

it's how console plays 30fps but still 'feels' smooth

sometimes this config can limit fps on pc down to 30 or 60 locked

i use this trick anytime i needed to use vsync to eliminate screen tearing on games BUT does not want the added input / mouse lag

else, just disable vsync when you play quick first person shooter games, never use it on games like csgo or bf

anyway it's been a year now since this thread was created, bf4 is running significantly better with new netcode updates nowadays
