Battlefield 1 Performance issues

[Disketa]

I am having performance issues in battlefield 1 and i feel like i should not with my gtx 1060 Strix, i5 4690K, 16 GB ram.

Asked for help on reddit, but noone replied, so i asked here.

Any help is appreciated.

Btw fps on the first pic is in the top right corner

Get rid of gpu memory restriction

Yes tried it, makes no difference at all

Make sure your CPU is not running at 100%, battlefield 1 is very CPU heavy and can cause issues like that

Maybe it's because you can't max out everything with a 1060

are you running overclock, and what are the temps? Also try without dx12 (Some certain cpu/gpu combos are having issues with dx12

Oh yes, forgot to mention that, there is no moment where my cpu is not at 100% when the game is running.

Classic bottleneck, i5's are not good enough for BF1. To solve this issue you can do three things: 1. Overclock the CPU, 2. Make sure nothing is running in the background (ex. internet browser, steam, skype etc), 3. upgrade the CPU to an i7

Okay, are they gonna fix it soon? And what i7 should i buy if they wont?

How is it a CPU bottleneck if the CPU isnt even maxed out?

I don't think it's going to be ever fixed. It's a good game that runs well, it's just CPU demanding (the multiplayer mode). i5's are not "good enough" for highest-end gaming anymore, so cheapest upgrade is the i7-4790K as you wouldn't have to upgrade the motherboard and RAM as well and this would solve the issue.

 

You could also try running the game upscaled with Nvidia DSR to 2560x1440p resolution, this should lower the impact on the CPU but the FPS would drop quite a bit if you did that.

Read first. It means it's at 100% all the time, and I've seen this already as one of the users recently recorded a video using an i5-4670K + GTX 1060 showing the exact same thing in his setup in BF1.

Go to reddit again.

 

Google reddit bf1 cpu usage

Many threads will pop up with suggestions. Many of them.

 

Better to look where people are already talking.

Oops, dont know how I didnt see that not word... my bad

Yeah tried a lot of things, unparking the cpu overclocking, etc.

How high is your CPU OC'd? Run Task Manager when playing BF1 to check whether you've got any processes running in the background that eat the CPU power during gaming.

it goes up to 4.4 Ghz, at least cpuid hw monitor says that

If you've got the thermal and voltage headroom, I'd try to push it further to minimize the bottleneck.

So i have to increase the Voltage, right?

Read guides on overclocking. In a short way you need to bump up the multiplier and voltage if you're within safe limits thermally-wise (in terms of cooling, whether your cooler keeps the CPU cool enough), and voltage-wise (Do not go over 1,4V)

They say my Motherboard (B85M-Gamer) cannot overclock, but how does my cpu jump to 4400Mhz when default is 3500Mhz

I'm not entirely sure. Some B85/H97 boards allow for some overclocking, so it might be that. Go into your BIOS and check out the settings. Next time, buy a "K"-series CPU with a Z-series chipset motherboard, otherwise there's no point in doing that.

if that trend continues...DX12 is trash...beautiful games are getting very very taxing on everything...CPU threads...RAM speed and RAM usage etc...i think if that trend continues at the same time next year i'll be looking into retiring my i7-4770K and upgrade to something more substantial like maybe an hexacore skylake-X or coffelake or whatever the shit they have out at the time.

[Disketa]

Ok, i just fixed the issue by turning off Chrome while playing, now it doesnt get worse than 55fps in action

It's not trash, it's just widely misunderstood. It's supposed to reduce CPU overhead and improve parallelization. Nvidia somehow managed to achieve this with DX11, but AMD has high CPU overhead under DX11, and DX12 seems to really improve performance for them.

 

 

So it works. Without optimization done in Nvidia driver and without DX12 for AMD, performance would be even worse. Much worse. So of course, you still need a powerful CPU. DX12 can't help with processing game logic, AI, physics, etc.
