    Figured I'd share my progress so far with the game. Another great Dice engine product looks better than ever in my opinion. Currently I'm using a 4k external monitor with 60hz. Progress as follows;

    1. Open beta releases and I try running 4k with stock settings which is a Auto-Medium. Started getting the stutter where I would go from 60+fps to 1fps every 15 seconds for a second then back to 60+fps. Opened up HWInfo and found CPU 90+ and GPU 80. Turned down all settings to low, 4k, no vsync and uncapped fps. Ran fine at first but then same temperature problem. Also noticed CPU was running 100% when normally that doesn't happen in games.
    2. Next day after testing find I can run 4k vsync on, 77% resolution scale, all other settings ultra; with 80's C both CPU and GPU. No stuttering until I joined Steam Chat with Voice. Then I had to decrease to 66% resolution scale to keep temps in check. Also using Throttle Stop i've undervolted the i7-7820HK processor -.125mv. Longest single BFV session has been maybe 2.5hr.

    Anyone else playing the Open Beta; what settings are you clearing without stuttering?
