Battlefield V low FPS, single channel memory?

[Shaqalac]

Hi LTT forum, 

 

First of all I'm not sure if I've posted this in the entire correct location. I've posted it here as I've only encountered this problem in BF V. 

 

I'm having issues with very low FPS in Battlefield V.

A quick breakdown of my system (will make it more detailed when I get home) is that I have

• 980Ti GPU 
• 7600k CPU (not oc'ed atm)
• Single stick of 16 GB ram

Temperatures on the CPU while gaming seems alright, they are in the 60 range. GPU is around 80 and fans are not ramping up to 100%, more like 60% so it has more to give in terms of cooling. 

I remember a video being posted about the effects single channel memory had on gaming and I remember some games had a significant performance hit from running that. So that made me think it could be my issue, so I'm here for confirmation of that before I spend 125$ on another stick of 16gb.

 

My graphic settings in BF V is that everything is set to low and all the bells and whistles have been turned off in order to maximise my FPS. With all of that I'm sitting in 50-60 FPS average. Sometimes I can reach 90 but also 30 FPS in certain areas. 

 

Hope someone can help.

Turn on Future Frame Rendering, you probably turned that off. Will give you a huge boost. FFR should be experimented with turning OFF only on faster systems with a far better CPU. Also, replacing the CPU is recommended since a 4-core 4-threads CPU bottlenecks a card like yours a lot in BFV.

 

Edit: Also, replace your single 16GB stick with two 8GB sticks. Won't cost you a lot.

I've tried with both FFR on and off but it showed little to no difference. 

For sure CPU would be appropriate to upgrade but I have multiple friends with the same or older CPU and they have better performance with higher graphic settings. 

 

Where I live 2x8 is the same price as 1x16

Or with another 16gb stick - why sidegrade and waste the money of the first stick.

Selling the 16GB stick and buying 2 8GB is still cheaper than buying a new 16GB stick. You probably do not need 32GB.

My initial thought is, who is going to buy a single 16GB RAM stick. I know people like me, but I need to find a buyer that has an exact matching one.
