Goodmorning everyone,

I apologize for any grammarical errors, English is not my native language.

Yesterday i have done a clean install of Windows 10 and updated my GPU driver to the latest Windows 10 AMD Radeon 15.11 Crimson version.

But now i am experiencing sudden drops in framerate after about 5 minutes of playing Battlefield 4.
I run the game in crossfire on 2560x1440 - ultra settings with V-Sync enabled and also run the game with the ingame Mantle option enabled. (which i have been for about 2 years on Windows 8.1 and the previous driver without any problems)

Everything is fine for about 5/10minutes, a smooth stable 60fps which does not gets any lower at all.
Then suddenly it all goes tits up and fps drops to 30fps and it wont get up anymore.

(my system specs are in my profile, which should be more than enough to play this game like i used to on W8.1.)

I have tried looking for solutions on the BF4 forums, but it seems i am alone with this problem.

I also quickly tried some other games, but it seems that its only BF4 doing this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Check your GPU temperatures, some systems with those crimson drivers have been locking the fan speed very low and the cards overheat and throttle before breaking!

Sounds like a memory leak or GPUs are thermal throttling
Check with Msi afterburner gpu temps
