BF1 Performance Issues

ChrisxParkinson · January 2, 2017

Hey guys! I have a pretty solid system: 6600k, evga 1070 (with updated bios so it won't catch on fire), 16 gb ram, boot ssd, and a 1tb HDD for games and other things...

For the most part, BF1 runs near the silky smooth 144fps I'm looking for on my monitor! However, when i get into the big 64 player modes, it starts to chug! the frame rates take a huge dive and sometimes i even notice light stuttering... its weird, because in campaign with even more things going on and more things on screen I don't have any performance issues... is this more to do with networking issues? or is the HDD causing problem in this situation ?

from what i've heard it has too do with the tracking of 64 players. its a bit harder on your cpu apparently but this is just what i have heard from others so take it with a grain of salt.

I haven't really done any extensive testing! just curious to hear if anyone else with beefy systems has run into similar problems

I'm not one of those on this forum who will try to tell you you cannot play BF1 with an i5, but I don't think you can expect 144 FPS from an i5 in that game. I have a 6600K and GTX 1070 as well, and while I don't ever drop below 60 FPS, I don't think I can maintain anything above 70 or 80 very well.

If you take a look at your CPU usage, you're probably going to see all four cores at or near 100% in a 64-player match much of the time.
