Battlefield 2042 Performance Comparison: Day One Patch & Nvidia Drivers

In today's video I discuss how much of an impact the day one patch has made on performance in Battlefield 2042, what the best Nvidia driver for the highest performance in BF2042 is, and how different configuration settings affect the game in its current state.

My cpu is at ~70% and gpu at 30-40% all the time, i have dx12 enabled and video settings on high. Sometimes get a stutter with the newest driver but can get consistently 70-80 frames

[terni]

idk why, but all 496 driver branch got significant fps loss in every game on my system (9700kf + rtx 3080), i rollbacked to 472.12 driver and get a lot better perfomance

[reda]

The patch absolutely destroyed the game for me and I’m clueless on what to do. 25-30 fps in game and lots of visual errors

[Crysteous]

Man, I thought i was the only one experiencing the framerate on regular conquest, tried the rush mode on portal and experienced way better performance, They need to fix this ASAP!

[djovak]

i7 9700k and rtx 2070, 30-50fps in crowded zones on low settings 1080p. Config dx12 and dlss is enabled.
90-100% cpu usage. :D gpu 45%
Doesnt really matter if i play ultra or low settings, difference in fps is so low.
Also power saving or high performance mode doesnt really make difference for me.

Interesting, I started playing after the day 1 patch, having awful performance, the game feeling slugging among other things. After enableling the dx12 thing the game was all of a sudden playable. I'm running an and rx480 and a 5600x, getting around 70-80 fps on mostly lowest settings

This is what you get when you code the game from ground up on ps4 hardware. Don't expect this game to be fixed or any game until devs stop coding games on last gen consoles like the ps4 and Xbox One.

man why can't i get any fps boost like this :( on a 9600k @5ghz and a EVGA GTX 1080FTW2 and can only get 50-65fps most the time at 1080p up to 1440p, even at 4k it only goes down to 45-55fps.
The frame drops are awful and so much stuttering. All drivers and settings are basically the same.

At this point I'm just going to have to get used to a choppy 60fps (I'm on 144hz so I'm not used to 60fps at all now) which really sucks, the beta would run at a smooth 90-100fps

[kakdelicius]

Exactly. I follow your tips and another video tips but nothing works. its about GPU usage. i had to install 496.13 nvidia drivers to have a litle better performance (always dx12 disable). I can play others games with 99% GPU usage and 0% stutters. So it isnt a nvidia drivers problem. I though it is about bf242 optimization for each driver. We need a bf2042 update to solve this as soon as possible. It is unplayable. My PC: ryzen 5900x, RTX2080ti, 32GBram, game installed on C: (M2 hard disk).

[StonerEyes]

I agree too, i got a rtx 2060 6gb with 32gb of ram an i5 6600k and portal runs soo much smoother then the regular 128 servers

[jettisongamer]

Well done! Thorough enough info. Thank you for waiting for the patches before doing more testing.

My game is unplayable. I have horrendous packet loss in All Out Warfare. Constant rubber banding, my character feels like he is running on ice (input lag), and lots of animations feel like they are happening in slow motion. I have zero problems in any other online game. When I play on 64 players or in "single player" mode my game runs just fine. Very disappointing.

[AxyDux]

After this update GeForce experience keeps loggin me out every time I close the app, any way to fix this? Any advice? It’s annoying as fuck I have to login every time and I use geforce to save my clips and I don’t wanna have to login every time I’m going to play a game

[kaydenvortex]

The game is still in early access.
Considering the amount of bugs and other issues we're experiencing.
The only difference between the open beta and now is the lack of aircraft desync

[theviking]

love having a high performance gaming pc just to play a new game that looks and runs like shit.

[DWatts]

I'm using Nvidia Nis on medium settings 1440p on a 980ti, and now it's running on average about 80fps which is quite playable

[CRVN]

I don't understand man, you seem to be the only one with such high gpu utilisation

[microgfx]

Do you know what are those clear yellow rectangles that appear in game mostly in all out warfare? Portal is fine.

[GhostGamingg]

Good video mate, so many setting rumours going around right now, good to see your stats on it!

[Themis]

Just here to say that I messed around with the console commands and apparently there is a setting to "ForceDx11". Pretty sure it doesnt do anything atm but the fact that it is there is a bit weird.
