Weird Bottleneck

[Vibora]

Hey, me and my friend are playing BF1 together and there are some weird differences.

We both have i5-4570, GTX 1070 and a 8GB RAM, he would play on Ultra with no prob, but my computer would crash on High.

Any idea why is that?

I also have VSync on because I have a bad screen tearing.

Does he have VSync on as well (not that it should make much difference)?

Try installing MSI afterburner so you can check the CPU and GPU loads and temperatures. This could help you find where the problem lies.

Do you get any error messages when your PC crashes?

Crashing =/ Bottleneck

 

BF1 is very CPU/RAM sensitive if they are unstable and that results in crashes.

hm, I see.

Because when I put VSync on, and im on Medium, sometimes I have input lag which drives me crazy.

Well the fact that you PC crashes says that it's not a bottleneck but something is just not working correctly. 

Does your PC crash immediately if you put it on high or does it take a while? And if it takes a while, does it perform well while working?

Not immediately, I played the first time with the 1070, and put it on High.

I played for like 10 min, and its just crashed.

Usually a software conflict.

Remove software that could conflict (2 separate temp programs, RGB software, sensor apps, anything you can think of running on startup or while it happens?)

How could this impact performance?

Because you can have multiple sensor counters on the same sensor from alternate programs... adding CPU time and extra delays or conflicts.

 

I've seen over a hundred cases of software ruining game performance.

I don't know WHY it is a cause of random issue, but these software packages (Temp software from Motherboard makers, among other programs) are not always programmed or built correctly.

Many conflict with other software you may indeed have installed (other sensor apps like MSI/Precision/CAM)

 

Because it's so random I can't outright say its the cause, but I'd say its likely on most typical systems that have people not removing these apps from startup or running alongside other apps.
