I wanted to adjust and tweak the game without the automatic settings. The mentioned things here will help you to get aware about your FPS! So, here is how you can enable the FPS display in BF 4…

How to display the FPS in Battlefield 4

You need to type a command into the game console. You can open the console in Battlefield 4 with the tilde key (~). Once you opened the console, you need to type in:

perfoverlay.drawfps 1

After that you need to hit the return key to confirm your input. Then you just need to close the console with the tilde key again. You will now notice that the FPS display is enabled on the upper right corner of Battlefield 4 and now you have real frame rate data to adjust and tweak your game settings.

If you want to have the FPS display permanently then it is highly recommended to put the command into a config file, to load the function on each start of the game.
