friend played 10 hours in the trial on the driver before the newest one. GTX 1080 SLI, using the battlefield 1 profile (as it didn't have a SLI profile yet). She was getting 60 fps locked with only a few dips, at 4K and most settings Ultra. Then after the retail game came out (and she foolishly upgraded to the new Nvidia Driver)...her performance has tanked, and fallen apart. Now she gets choppy gameplay. It seems like every 10 seconds of running around, fps dip 45-50 fps. Anytime she pans the camera, it become a stuttering mess, and dips in FPS (even as low as 44 fps). Even in interior sections like the ship, where it used to be locked 60 at all times in the trial, it will drop as low as 33fps! It will bounce from 55-60 constantly, but panning or just moving around will cause drops to 40fps, and then sometimes even 33. The whole thing is a mess. The difference between the Trial and the Retail version was Night and Day. Before it ran so smooth, now it's almost unplayable. A complete mess. At first she assumed it was the Nvidia driver that caused this. But since you are saying there isn't a big difference (and she's seen others around the web say the same), she's wondering - could it be on BioWare's end? Did the game get a patch, from the Trial to Day 1 release? Because someone she knows that is having the same issue, supposedly rolled back drivers and still has performance issues. And they suggested that it might be an in game patch, that has caused the massive performance issues. Is that possible?
