I'm also experiencing these FPS drops. A year ago this game worked flawlessly, even a few months ago too. I recently played it again and I get these horrible FPS drops which make the game unplayable. Now my PC isn't exactly a beast by any means but I was playing this game fine on the highest settings. I tried playing on low and it still happens. The issue is with the game or the drivers not the hardware at this point. I verified the game twice, hell, I even reinstalled Windows completely and it still happens. My friend who has the same specs as me albeit the GPU (He has an AMD GPU) it doesn't happen to him which makes me think either something wrong with the game or the drivers. Although I can play every other game on the highest settings just fine.
EDIT: Here is the picture of the PerfOverlay.Graph thing:
These high spikes are the FPS drops.

Same issue here.
Games become unplayable for 2-10 seconds and then runs without issues.
It is happening with both BF1 and SW BF 2 :/
I own these games from the release and never had issues with them. Just now

I have BF V on prepaid reserve. Reports of server lag and rubber banding have been widespread over the last 2-3 weeks. If this continues, I don't think I'm going to be interested in continuing my BF series.

Hi all.
I also had horrible stuttering on an i7 4000MHz + GTX1060. It was behaving as periodic freezes and frame drops. It made the game unplayable as you would get stutters in a gunfight.
Dropping visual levels or any other fix I could find had no effect.
I used the "perfoverlay.drawgraph 1" command to show the bottleneck and found that the processor was getting bottle-necked during the stutters so it had nothing to do with the video card.
So, I tried to play with the process affinity.
Initially, it was set to all 8 processors so I just disabled the first 2.
It worked like a charm. No more frame drops, no more stutters, instant relieve.
My guess is that the OS is also using the first processor for background tasks and when doing that it starves BF1 of processor power.
I hope this fix will help you too.

As for me, simply setting a process priority to Very High for BFV got me a better performance and i got rid of the fps drops and lags.
Hope this will help you guys.

This is absolutely wrong. The processor is quite sufficient.
