Help me please

Could be drivers or some other applications running in the background screwing it up. You should be getting easy over 60 on high or even maxed out maybe. I would say your Hardware is fine and if anything the 16gb upgrade is not needed. get an SSD for the money unless you are doing video editing or something.  Try Setting Priority to high on the game and try again. Also check thermals. on both cpu and gpu. Maybe something is bad there causing it to thermalthrottle.

Questions:

1. do you have your dedi GPU as the PhysX processor in Nvidia's control panel?
2. do you have your iGPU turned off on your CPU?

How do i check thermals?

There are a few software out there that do that. Real temp does CPU and MSI afterburner does GPU

I have msi afterburner i am getting real temp right now. Is there a specific temp they should be at?

[Flavlus]

Check its at least a few degrees of the threshold. I would google the normal operating temps for your specific hardware.

for the first one you right click your desktop and click on Nvidia Control Panel, if you don't see it then you don't have your GPU's driver installed and you are actually using the shit GPU which can explain your isuue, if you do see it then it is something else, now when you click on the Nvidia control Panel you will see a window open there you will first click on Adjust image settings with preview on the left then on the right of that option select Use  the advanced 3D image settings that is on the right, then go back to the left where you clicked on Adjust image settings with preview then click on Configure surround PhysX, on the right you hit the drop down box and select your GPU if you play GPU intensive games or CPU if you play CPU intensive games leave it as auto if you play both then hit apply and go game.

 

The second on is done in the BIOS and if i have to tell you how to do this just for the GPU then you should leave the BIOS alone before you muck it up and play on low until you install the new CPU.

All of them were already on what you told me to put them on.

and what are the settings for Manage 3D settings if you have everything on high there you can cause FPS drops? Are you sure you have all the drivers for your PC installed?....open device manager and look for yellow triangles, it shows what needs to be installed, you can also check what GPU is in use there when you hit the Display Adapters tab, if you see your GPU 10603gb blah blah then you are using your dedi GPU if not then you are using the iGPU.

Your i3 is too weak for Battlefield, it's the bare minimum for many games. When you get your new CPU you'll be running much more nicely.

But i have seen many people on youtube with the same computer as me play the game way better than mine is.

In that case they're probably running lower settings. BF1 is pretty CPU heavy, and I wouldn't expect an i3 to do well at all.

[Brownie1gg]

My temps were normal too.

Are you on win10 with game dvr running?....that shit will mess up a 1080. What about what display adapter is running in device manager?
