Cpu for Battlefield 1

[Disketa]

Ok, so my i5 4690K is bottlenecking my gtx 1060 Strix in bf1, only allowing it to go up to 60% usage, so my game drops to 35-50fps when there is a lot of action or looking far into the map. On youtube, i saw i5 6600 should do the trick, every video with my gpu always had 60fps+. What do you think?

(btw i can't oc my cpu, my motherboard will not allow me to, i will buy a new one too)

What is your cpu usage?

[SLAYR]

Have you tried to oc your cpu? And do you have any background processes running like recordings, your 4690k should be a little better then an i5 6600, plus you would need a new cpu, motherboard, and ram, for basically not much of an upgrade, if anything upgrade to a haswell i7 like a 4790, or 4790k.

6500 will run just fine, don't buy a 6600k to play this better to get a 6700 since it'll perform better

6500 is basically the same thing as mine, and it has same problems

Well I didn't have problems when I was playing this.

Yeah, you have rx 470, and that is a weaker gpu than mine, so you don't have a bottleneck

I5 6600 setup.

4790k.

Go for the I7 even if you can't oc it the extra 4 threads will help a lot.

Your i5 should not be anywhere near 100% while running BF1. It should also not bottleneck a GTX 1060. Look at the CPU usage while idling and such. Before upgrading your parts, reinstall Windows and don't install as many programs. I have an i7-6700HQ in my laptop, and it's around as powerful as an i5-4690k while at the stock clock speeds. It doesn't run near 100% while running BF1, and I only have a 960m.

 

I think you have a virus or something. 

[Kobathor]

 

You should be getting great performance.

No point in buying the 6600 or the 6600k... the price gap between those and the 6700 isn't huge enough to justify buying them.

While being idle, only Google chrome, my cpu is at 2-5%

sounds like there is something wrong, especially if you're running 1080p. 

 

if you HAD to upgrade, definitely go with the 4790/k (you can keep everything, just swap the CPU).

 

But I would investigate other problems being present first. 

[Disketa]

That is weird, posted like one week ago, and everyone said my cpu is not good enough, tried a lot of things in the internet, did not try to reinstall my pc and not the game itself though

Then your computer has something wrong with it. Sources show that setup should get over 90 FPS on BF1 ultra settings. Again, I'd recommend reinstalling Windows before you spend $300 on an i7-4790k (which I'd do rather than getting another i5 and a new mobo.)

The first video is singleplayer, i get 120fps in singleplayer, and in the second video his cpu is oc'd to 4.5 Ghz

Are you sure?I run at 60fps in Witcher 3 with this setup

Overclocked 6600k is much better

still costs as much as a 6700, so why pay more for like 2-3% on an unlokced i5 when you could just pay for the 6700 and have better performance overall

Actually the cost is the same, and 6600k OC> 6700

Well, in Czech republic, 6600K cost 275$ and 6700K 400$

Well if you want to believe that go right ahead and waste your money

[Disketa]

I have i5 4690K, 16gb ram ddr3, and gtx 1060 Strix.

In Battlefield 1, i have 100% cpu usage and 50% gpu usage while playing.

Many people told me that there should not be a problem, and i should reinstall my pc, and other people told me my cpu is not good enough.

What do you think?

It drops down to 35-50fps in action or when looking far into the map.

(sry for posting twice in a row)
