Battlefield 5 is really driving me crazy with its performance issues
your setup shows high load conditions. the ram usage jumps to 7.6gb and cpu stays at 70-80%, which suggests heavy processing. the gpu usage is low (57-60%), possibly due to limited workload. consider checking for background processes, updating drivers, or upgrading components if performance remains unstable.
In addition to increasing RAM, you'll get dual-channel performance. BF V alone consumes 5-6 GB on "Auto: Max Fidelity" settings (mainly medium, some high) at 1440p. When using BF V with the whole system running: I close browsers during games, which reduces Brave's usage by about 500MB (11.5 GB). Even without solving your BF V issues, adding 16GB of RAM along with dual-channel memory will noticeably improve overall system performance.
I'll proceed with a system that features 3GHz RAM and dual-channel connectivity.
Collect the SATA SSD and discard the laptop's HDD. Add 8GB of RAM.
the problem with the laptop hdd involves a big boy PC with a 7200 rpm fat drive, 150 mb read/write speed. Recently, during normal use it started showing minor issues, possibly because of impact on the case causing instability. Files sometimes fail to load, like missing page files and slow repacking even though I have a Ryzen 2600. I’ve backed up all my data first to the laptop hdd, then moved to RAM, NVMe, and finally the motherboard storage.
