BF1 cpu usage drops down causing fps drops

[Mr. Billy]

CPU: AMD FX 8350

 

So my cpu usage drops down to 20-24% in bf1 and it causes fps drops. Anybody know how to fix this?

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Full system specs?

does the game use all 8 threads? or only 4 threads

Is it constantly sitting at 20% or does it dip down randomly?

Im sorry to tell you this, but that is normal. I get them too on my i3 6100 which is equivalent to your fx8350

 

Edit:
is this on dx12 or dx11? try dx11 on medium.

Maybe the CPU just caps out at 100% usage and then your fps drops so the CPU goes down to 20-30%. That used to happen to me on launch with BF1 before the patches. I'm with an i5-4670k. My CPU used to reach 100% usage at which point BF1 would just freeze or drop frames down to 15-20 for a couple of seconds. Try turning off all unnecesarry programs (also the Nvidia share function) when you are playing BF1.
