Help! Why is my FPS continuously decreasing?
Help! Why is my FPS continuously decreasing?
Playing Battlefield 5 on a newly built system, the FPS fluctuates between 35 and 60 frames per second regardless of graphics settings. The usage never reaches maximum, GPU stays around 70% capacity, CPU varies between 60% and 80%, and RAM consistently uses about 3.7GB out of 8GB. Temperatures remain normal, not unusually high. I've experimented with various overclocking methods using D.O.C.P in the BIOS.
System details:
- Xeon X5675 @4.1ghz
- ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard
- GTX 1060 3GB
- 8GB 1600 DDR3 RAM (overclocked to 1800MHz)
From what I've seen on YouTube, this configuration shouldn't face performance problems at 1080p. I don’t experience any issues with GTA V or Skyrim Special Edition either. It’s unclear what to do next...
Are there any coil whine sounds coming from the board or PSU? Does it seem like the PSU is drawing too much power?
Do you notice any coil whine from the board or PSU? The PSU seems to be a 1000 watt Raidmax Vampire 80+ gold rated unit.

Checking for coil whine from the board or PSU? The wattage seems to be a concern.
PSU appears to be a 1000 watt Raidmax Vampire 80+ gold rated unit.
It might be a power issue, but I don’t hear any unusual sounds.
Battlefield 5 could be CPU-heavy.
Have you tried running the game with default CPU settings to compare with your overclock?
What are the exact temperatures?
Your overclock might be too high; if it’s not related to power, heat management is key.
Consider lowering the CPU further but keeping it above stock levels—around 3.6 or lower would be better for this chipset.
The performance was similar regarding stock settings. I suspected the CPU might be undervolted, so I increased the voltage to around 1.36 and adjusted QPI Clock to 175 for a 3.84ghz overclock. It appears stable in Aidia64, surviving over 11 minutes during the stress test. The maximum temperature reached was 84°C. This is my first attempt at overclocking, so I'm unsure if I did it completely right.
I don't see any of the 12 threads reaching the mid-80% mark, and the CPU temperature is between 60°C and 70°C during the game.
