Battlefield 1 Minimum System Requirements

[TheCoolCookie]

I was about to buy Battlefield 1 and was looking at the minimum specs https://www.origin.com/can/en-us/store/battlefield/battlefield-1/standard-edition. I have an HD 7970, A-10 5800k and 8GB of ram. Do you think my computer would be able to run it at 1080p at a good frame rate?

An i3-6100 with a GTX 960 runs fine low-medium 900p.

high-ultra 1080p should be doable, the r9 380 is able to do ultra 1080p at decent fps.

My average fps are 100 ultra 1440p (MP!). Dont know where they get those 89? So he maybe can add some more fps too.

Those benchmarks are from campaign, a whole hell of a lot less intensive...

1080p medium should yield the best experience.

It looks like the HD 7970 might get you close to 60 FPS at 1080p, maybe even at rather high settings, but the weak CPU might make things a bit rocky. Especially in multiplayer.

It can bearely run it on all low settings. I get around 30fps average, guess it's time to buy a new cpu.

i have to agree...the benchmarks i have seen so far are pure BS...i get around 100FPS on all ultra 1440p on single player and about the same on the multiplayer maps because the multiplayer maps i've found tend to be a bit less detailed than what is found on the singleplayer...anyways...here is a clip of one of the most demanding single player portion...as you can see it run stupidly well...on all ULTRA (afterburner stats fully provided and graphics settings shown at beginning and end of the video) ...and this is while recording footage with shadowplay:

 

89FPS my ass...

To my surprise I did end up with a CPU limit last night in one match. It was Argonne Forest (read: dense foliage and undergrowth, tons of physics) on 64-man Operations, with some really unusually bad mortar/grenade/field gun spam going on. I noticed it felt a little frame-y so I pulled up my MSI Afterburner graphs and found my CPU was capping out in the high-90%'s on all cores, and around 60% GPU usage (despite being at Ultra details + 150% resolution scale). I was running around 46–50 FPS or so. I'm using an i5-6600K @ 4.5 GHz and a GTX 1070.

 

Before anyone starts yelling about i7's being required for BF1, I've never seen this happen before in nearly 30 hours of play. I'm normally far beyond 60 FPS at those settings, with completely smooth frame delivery. It's normally even fine on the Argonne Forest map. It seems to be only this one extraordinary circumstance that caused it. In fact it was so much worse than my norm that I suspect there could be some optimization issues involved.

 

On that note I should also mention I'm using the game's notoriously glitchy DX12 mode. I tried it once and it was smooth (unlike the reports would suggest), so I've just kept it on. I haven't been able to try again yet with DX11 in a similar scenario.
