Massive FPS drops in BF4 with a good computer

[swaglord3000]

I bought Battlefield 4 because i knew i could run it with my new GTX 770 but the game starts freezing and the FPS massively drops, Each time i people start shooting me the game freezes, or if there's anything going on around me the game just freezes. PLEASE HELP

Have you tried to turn off Origin in-game? 

Edit: Many people are having issues with the latest driver from nVidia. Roll back to the previous one and see if it solves the problem for you.

Edit: Do you have any third party software running in the backround? Like MSI Afterburner, game booster etc...

To add to what MrHoltik has said..

Run the game as Administrator:
Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

Run Origin as Administrator:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

Disable Origin in game:
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
Origin, settings, General

Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
1- open origin and go to My Games
2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
4- Hit apply and test you BF4

Another thing that may be worth trying: run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.

Disable Mantle if you have it and try Direct X, Turn OFF Anti-Aliasing Deferred in video card settings in game. If you have page file turned off then turn it back on as this can make errors even with 32gigs ram.

Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4. Also look at other programs as Fraps,EVGA Precision, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, RivaTuner , ASRock eXtreme Tuner, Steam, Skype, aero ,Overwolf extra program in teamspeak and xfire are known to make issues as well. And I am sure more programs not in my list yet turn one off at a time and test BF4. Since last patch more programs now give issues :/

Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some. Reboot then repair BF4 to be safe.

Make sure all this is up to date...

This happened to me too with my gtx 560. Even if it's not a gpu that's as powerful as yours, it runs bf4 70+fps at medium and high settings.

I was once changed the video setting somehow and made my gameplay super laggy and the screen froze every seconds. I went into the settings again and I realized I changed the resolution of 1080p to much higher resolution. It was NEARLY 4k. I immediately changed the resolution back to 1080p and it worked normaly as it did in the past. Check your resolution, and if it has not changed or it was the same resolution that your pc had, check the MSAA. It would also affect a lot on your fps and smoothness. Hope it helped solving your problem.
