Ayyy you're not the only one to do that, at least you can still be useful to your squad / teammates, I honestly hope the situation improves dramatically, but again some performance issues can be heavily dependent on your hardware. 2042 is VERY CPU intensive, let's hope your situation improves in the near future 🙏
You are welcome, be sure to share it around if you think some of your friends might benefit from this guide too! 👊 I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video, it means a lot 🙏🏻
Ohhhh fantastic, I just saw your edited comment, I am really glad you found it useful and your game is running better, happy to have been able to help you out here! 🙏🏻 I will be doing more guides like this in the future, so be sure to stick around, and thanks again for checking out the video!
Hey dude since I set my stuff with this guide for some reason my monitor which is 144hz won't go above 60? like the option to go 144 just doesn't exist anymore, any idea why?
Hmmm sounds like it might have changed in the NVIDIA Control Panel settings. Go to NVIDIA Control Panel - Display - Change Resolution - PC - Refresh Rate - 144Hz. Make sure your monitor is registering as 144Hz here then hit apply if it isn't. I too use a 144Hz monitor and haven't run into the issue which you describe. Hope this helps.
@@ShadowUKTV I figured out the issue, the moment I stick it on image scaling it immediately removes my ability to be a different refresh rate other than 60hz, not sure why
@@Moodigood That is an interesting issue, I haven't heard of this happening before on any previous NVIDIA driver or for a specific game. I suppose if there is a negligible performance improvement for you then disable image scaling so you still get access to a 144Hz refresh rate for now, thanks for sharing as this may help someone else who is having the same issue as you.
Out of the past week of testing, this was as close as I could get to providing optimisations across the board. You're right though, the devs have a lot of work to do to optimise this game for all types of rigs, we'll get there!
This is still up to date as DICE are yet to add any significant performance updates to 2042! I will do another video like this one following a major patch that finally addresses the huge performance issues this game has! Thanks for watching, I hope you found this video useful :)
@@ShadowUKTV helps a lot! Thanks!! Using your settings. I was wondering if anything has changed after a month. Good to know my settings are up to date. I am at 70fps at 1440p. Really hoping for some tweaks from DICE. I have notifications on for your channel so I'm set and and done for your new vids!
is there anyway to rebind the scroll wheel up and scroll wheel down to do other things? i like to use wheel up as my grenade and my wheel down as melee
This isn't a setting I have looked into myself as I don't personally use my mouse wheel other than for changing weapons, but, that doesn't mean to say it isn't possible, sorry I couldn't be more specific here.
@@calisandqvist2718 won't let me. I figured maybe you could ads bind using the console like csgo, but I'm not sure. I'll have to look into it a little more. Thanks tho
@@hotdogmanful When trying to rebind MWD to melee, you see it's on F standard, and you can only change the key F with any other key on the keyboard, BUT to the right you see an other section which is for mousebinds instead, so for melee you can have F on the keyboard and MWD on the mouse. So when trying to bind stuff to the mouse, just make sure you are on the mouse section and not on the keyboard section, hopefully it helps, GLHF JJ
for all those people who thing 2070 or 2080 ti cant run the game, i have 3080 with 11900k and i cant hit 100 fps on lowest graphics so its not just your system the game is just extremely poorly optimized. i even have drops to 50 fps which sucks... reeally....
Dude that really does suck, so many people out there have purchased some of the latest hardware, often at serious expense right now to try to get the best possible experience in Battlefield 2042! We can only hope that DICE delivers the optimization to 2042 that the game seriously needs, thanks for sharing this!
@@Yukitta69 i think the newest patch made it better, i can run around 140 now with my 3080 and i9 10850k (which is still low but at least somewhat "better")

Thanks for mentioning this, someone else in the comments had the same issue when they turned on image scaling and when they disabled it, they were able to get their system to run at 144 Hz again. No idea why this is affecting some but not all systems, maybe it’s a bug in the driver that’s causing it, anyway, that should fix your refresh rate issue
You said it! We need DICE to really optimise this game for all kinds of hardware out there, I am glad people are still finding some help from a video like this one though! I hope your game performance improves in the near future, for all of our sakes, thanks for sharing

@@ChrisFH well I’m sorry to hear you’re having this issue, I can’t say I have experienced it myself regularly only when certain events happen on some maps such as the rocket exploding on Orbital

Something is definitely not right there, I know a few people with the same GPU, but 2042 is extremely CPU heavy, so do you have a CPU that has a high core count to keep up with the demands of your GPU? A lot of people overlook the their CPU, and so far, other than DICE needing to optimise their game better, CPU's appear to be causing the largest bottleneck, something to keep in mind here. I hope this helps you in some way.
"Prefer Maximum Power" forces your card to run at its maximum clock speed (even in idle), which increases heat and can lower the life of your card. It's better to have the default @Optimal or @normal for RTX 3000 users such as me. "Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization" should be off, gives slightly less performance actually (within 1%) and you may get shimmering objects, NVIDIA even recommends this off in the panel. "Texture filtering - quality" should be at quality because oddly it give the best Time Spy score out of all other options; And for VSYNC, if you have GSYNC on, you need VSYNC ON but if you don't then turn it off.
Some fantastic points here, and thanks for sharing this for all you RTX 3000 series card owners. Personally when it comes to Time Spy and other benchmarking tools such as Heaven Benchmark I tend to take them with a pinch of salt when compared to real world game performance.
@@ShadowUKTVI see what you’re saying. I saw a video from shogoz, the guy provided his testing and comparisons. “Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization” it’s supposed to make your game look worse and give more performance but it’s very negligible and best to keep it off. “Texture filtering - quality” has barely any gains or loss of whatever you set it too, best to just sacrifice that maybe 0.2 fps and get better textures.
@@ShadowUKTV Another point, you should also set “texture filtering negative lod bios” to clamp, with allow you’ll get shimmery objects and buggy looking textures.
@@ShadowUKTV I mean overall, touching these settings aren’t really giving much gains, they’ll only hurt you more if you don’t set them right or set them wrong.
@@derangeddoffy This is definitely something I haven't really thought about myself, however I think a lot of the way you set your system up for various titles all depends on what your target is, highest fps + lowest latency or max fidelity for the best looking game. I appreciate you sharing this, it's something I will keep in mind for the future.
I don't get the point playing the game on low settings. The difference in fps between high and low is almost not noticable but the game looks like actual shit on low settings. So i rather have 100 fps instead of 105 fps and play it on high. :D
That is entirely up to you but there are some people that have seen some performance increase by having the game run on low settings, as well as using the other tips in this guide. I am glad you can run your game on high settings and still get that kind of frame rate :D The bottom line though is DICE still have a lot of work to do to get the game where it needs to be, especially on the performance side of things! Thanks for checking out the video nonetheless! :D
Turn this on and adjust the slider down to a desired number, you can do this as a global setting or just to Battlefield 2042, this will help with visibility in game, hope this helps you out 😃

It is unfortunate that the Battlefield V You play in Ultra when you play it all on low and with FPS jerks
Yes it is, and especially since DICE delayed the game and the hardware a lot of us have today, we can only hope it gets a lot better fairly quickly
nothing changed on my 3080. Scalling on is bad idea, worse picture and few fps.
Any extra FPS can make all of the difference, so it's not necessarily a bad idea unless it impacts the stability of your system in some other way
