Hi, (specs are i5-4210m 2.6ghz cpu with 3.2 turbo speed --- 8gb ram---nvidia 840m 2 gb gpu)
((windows 10 64bit with high perf selected at power options))

The problem is low gpu usage (around %40-60 generally) ((gpu memory usage starts with 1 gb and goes up to 1.4 gb after playin several hours))

I use msi afterburner program, i can also overclock little bit, +300mhz to memory , +120mhz to gpu core

so due to low gpu usage fps are low (20-40fps...depends on where i look at map)

heat is no problem i assume, gpu is 60-70 and cpu 70 degrees ...

...graphic settings are full details @fullHD +4AA

what could cause low gpu usa ? how can i fix this ?

if i play GTA V ,, gpu show s %99 usage and it is heat goes up to 80 degrees both cpu and gpu ... so i assume something wrond with PR ...

i select nvidia for using PR launcher and the game exe so intel gpu not used for the game...

That's BF2's doing, it relies way more on the CPU rather than the GPU. We can't change that unfortunately.

i did not think it was because of cpu :S .. it is a online game so there is no AI so i did not assume it needed that much of cpu :S .. so cpu is the bottleneck

thanks for the answer ...

and i just found out SweetFX ((possibly most of PR players knew this)

i did disable AA from PR launcher .. start the game and found out that with sweetFX GPU usage rised to %80-90 ... and if close sweetFX in-game with scrolllock.. gpu usage drops to %40-50 ...

gpu heat goes over 70 degree but when i disable sweetfx it goes below 70 degrees ...

u can see the difference with and without sweetfx .. and it is look better with sweetfx.. i just started using this, i do not know future effects to gameplay and performance...

GPU is not the cause of low fps. This game is a joke for every modern GPU

Also seems to need at least 4GB on a 64bit or unlocked 3.5 + RAM on a 32bit. This seems to be a recent development.
