New Processor, Same Problem

[shit boi]

Hello Guys!

As I had an I3-4160, I felt like it's time to do an upgrade.
I have bought an i5-4460, as It seemed like a budget friendly option on the Haswell Architecture.

Now, When I launched BF1, I saw unplayable framerates. My FPS was between 3 and 40, on the lowest graphical settings. Yes, not 30, but 3

I have  a GTX 1060 3GB, as well as 8GB of DDR3 RAM.

It does it in every game, that can be called demanding, be it BF4, BF1, Kingdom Come, ANYTHING.

Please help, very urgent!

 

Current config.: I5-4460, GTX 1060 3GB, 8GB RAM

Do you have a way of viewing what resource is being maxed out? Is it really high utilization of the CPU or GPU or something else?

Start with using DDU (display driver remover) to remove ALL display drivers and then install the latest version for your graphics card 

already done that

yes, I do, the processor is 100% load all the time, sometimes drops to 94-90%, GPU sitting at about 35-40%

Good. Is the card overclocked currently? Is this just BF1 or also other games? Try a gpu benchmark to see if it does the same thing. 

card is not oc'd, other AAA games do it too, did a benchmark, no problems there, cinebench outputted no.1 score

Interesting. I'd check system processes while the game is running. See if other applications are using up the CPU while trying to run the game at the same time.

I literally run no other programs, except afterburner when watching system resources

might be malware? have you done a run with malwarebytes?

some malware will use your pc to mine crypto-currencies. so that would explain the high usage.

overclocking the card wont help if its only being utilised upto 40% whilst the CPU is at almost 100%

Reinstall all your drivers, including chipset and audio. Once you have done that, run the test again with demanding and non demanding games. if it is still the same it could be an issue with the motherboard or ram stability so do some stress testing. 

Also try increasing things like texture and resolution to see if you utilised your GPU more and not have the CPU pegged at 100%. It could be just that a locked i5 or i3 doesn't really cut it from haswell/older anymore

Do you see BF1 pegging the CPU at 90%+ utilization under task manager? Or do you just know the CPU is under 100% utilization while the game is running? I wonder if the game is running some useless background processes eating the CPU.

Do you have any displays connected to the Intel integrated graphics? Maybe your computer is using the wrong gpu in games 

This is also a legitimate check

Oh look at me, the millionaire who can afford more displays :D. No, I only use one display sadly, and it is connected to the GPU

it shouldn't..... checking out on youtube, this game should run on the same setup with ultra settings, at around 80-70 FPS.

High performance mode in windows?

do the drivers, all of them and run some stress tests/ram checks. Something is pegging that CPU, so either its instability, ram is filling up, or something else is eating up the resources

how do I uninstall all of my drivers at once?

go into app settings and do it one by one and decline reboot until you have uninstalled them all. Once you have done it, boot into safe mode and run DDU for intel/Nvidia

but there are a lot, Do I uninstall the most important ones, or all of them... Or do I just reinstall windows, making it faster?

in bios did you turn off intergrated graphics

Then put it in high performance mode god damnit! I had horrible fps in balanced mode, high performance mode is the only real power mode you should use on a pc.

Have you checked with task manager what is using up the resources when playing?

High perf mode is stupid, dont use it. It only manages your CPU in idle states, not under load.

No it isnt. On a pc(not a laptop) it is the only real powerplan that gives you the real performance. I also had a stuttering problem with BF1 and Tf2, couldnt fix it until i noticed that my powerplan was set to balanced not high perf. I switched it back to high perf and poof, the stuttering was gone. It doesnt only change the processor state, it does more.
