Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 Mobile

What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? kostiarbuz
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Are you using any software with an overlay? Yes
If yes, can you list them here? Geforce Experience
If you disable this software, does that have any effect? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)?
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Happens everywhere, even in the first continue/ splash screen.
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Happens regardless of what I'm doing.
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? Once the bug appears it's evident as soon as the game launches.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Low GPU utilization causes lower fps, stuttering, higher render latency and higher input lag. I.e. in the firing range the lowest the GPU utilization reaches is 40% and it never goes above 85%. I can never reach my 100 fps cap when this bug happens. This only happens in Fullscreen mode, Borderless Windowed and Windowed modes are normal and work as they should.
What should be happening instead? Not that.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The bug consistently replicates after I've had a BSOD or I force shutdown my PC while the game is running.
The only method I've found to resolve this issue after it appears is to reinstall the game in it's entirety.
