BF3 FPS instability

[OpticalOpal]

Hello all!

This is really strange. My friend is getting kind of tired of BF5 so we're trying to go back and play BF3 some more and my FPS is all over the place. from the 40s up to the 150s. Up and down and up and down. Wildly inconsistent. I've stood in place just waving my view back and forth horizontally and it will be fine one second and completely screwed in the next.

My CPU is an i9 9900k, GPU GTX1080 SLI and with the second SLI'd card off and 16gb ram with BF3 on an SSD. Anyone have any ideas? I've attached an image of MSI Afterburner showing the GPU load.

Reset the default settings in both the NVIDIA Control Panel and in the BF3 graphics options and see how that goes.

If there is no change, post your Dxiag report here and we can take a look, thanks.

Hello!

Thank you for helping me  but unfortunately there  was no improvement.

Dxdiag report attached.

Thanks for adding that. Some more things you can try:

• There are some errors at the bottom of your Dxdiag that SFC could help prevent, run System File Checker to ensure the integrity of your Windows System files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
• Perform a clean boot before starting the game: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
• Disable any third party overlay you may be using
• Disable MSI Afterburner or similar utilities
• Install any available Windows Updates
• Reinstall your video drivers using the custom option and then choose 'Clean Installation'

Let us know if any of those steps helps you, thanks.

Hello!

System File Check did not find any problems.

Did  every thing  in the list and  there is no difference.

I have tried reinstalling to  a different  drive that did not help ether.
