How to Fix Black Ops 4 FPS Drop or Lag on Nvidia Graphics Card

Now it’s not necessary that this problem will only occur on the aforementioned GPUs. This problem might appear on even slightly older Nvidia GPUs such as the 900 series. Whatever the case maybe this is how you fix it.

In my experience, the problem is caused by the Geforce Experience app which tries to automatically balance the game settings for you. In most cases, Geforce Experience might switch the render resolution from 100% to 200%. This undoubtedly will drop your frames in game as it is very taxing on your GPU especially if you are playing on 1440p. Simply, lower that setting back to 100% where it probably was before the so-called “balancing”. Turn off game optimization from Geforce Experience and it won’t try to change your settings again.

Hope this fix helps you in solving your lag issues. While I have you here, feel free to check out my other BO4 performance issue fixes. How To Fix Black OPS 4 Error Code: 897625509, How To Fix Black Ops 4 Stuttering on Ryzen Processors, How To Fix Black OPS 4 High CPU Usage Issue.
