BF1 decreasing FPS

[jmv_vicente]

I got my new PC in January and BF1 gave me 100-120 fps, but over the last couple of months Im getting 80-90 fps and I don't know why. 

 

Got a nvidia 1070 g1 gaming, i7-7700K (not overclocked yet), noctua NH-U12S. CPUs temps are 84-87ºC. Also, samsung ssd 850 500 gb.

 

What's wrong with my system? Is it the noctua? I attach some afterburner snapshots. 

 

Thanks a lot!

Are these afterburner shots from when ingame? Your GPU is under max load and has plenty of thermal headroom so maybe you could try a small overclock? Most aftermarket gpus are overclocked out of the box so what might have happened is the overclock reset. Also is the game on an SSD or HDD and are the drives close to running out of space? Do you have anything running in the background? Have you recently upgraded your monitor? Have you downloaded geforce experience recently? That might have turned up the settings on the game automatically.

This is playing BF1 after half and hour (last game). What do you mean by thermal headroom? Like it can run way hotter?

This is playing in and SSD (samsung 850 500gb) and no, plenty of free space (more than half the disk).

The monitor is exactly the same and gefore experience remain the same. 

Do you think the processor maybe overheating and i'd need a water cooling system? The ambient temps are 25-27ºC.

Your GPU is running at around 60 degrees, however it is running at maxed out usage. GPU boost 3.0 should be overclocking it to around 75 degrees and giving you much more performance. Your CPU is definitely on the toasty side, however it is not at 100% usage, and a 7700k should definitely be able to keep up with a 1070. What CPU cooler are you using? Maybe it's time to replace the thermalpaste, it can deteriorate over time.

- What do you mean by GPU boost 3.0? increase the mhz in +3 using afterburner?

- just bought the i7 6700k this january so i cant afford a change (and the thermal paste should be ok, shouln't it?)

- using a noctua a NH-U12S, should a corsair h110 will significantly help me?

GPU boost 3.0 is a new technology by Nvidia that automatically overclocks your graphics card to as high as it can go within safe thermal and electical(voltage) limits in order to maximise your performance. Thermalpaste is quite cheap (<30$ I think) and must be replaced everytime you take off your cpu cooler, also thermalpaste should come with your cpu cooler. Not replacing your thermalpaste might cause a radical rise in temperatures, and thus decreased performance. Your CPU cooler is quite good, however you will see an improvement with the H110.

If you're using Geforce experience, sometimes they change the settings between updates, and some of them might not be as easy to spot as others, that being said, if you increase your temperature limit in afterburner your GPU should automatically overclock to match that temperature target.

- What do you think of the settings of this post? Should i copy-paste them? Not to sure about 89ºC

- Didnt replace my Noctua. How frequently should i change the thermalpaste? I mean, i've got the pc 5 months ago. 

- What temperatures do you think i would get with an h110?

What temperature does change afterburner? gpu or cpu?

Just to be sure, are you saying that changing the temps of whatever afterburner changes, automatically changes the other?

Afterburner only controls the GPU, you could probably set your temp target to 80-85 degrees no problem.

Ok, perfect!. I've got the gpu temps at 83ºC. Should I just increase it two degrees?

I've seen this post for the overclocking. Do you agree with those settings for gigabyte 1070 g1 gaming?
