your cpu and ram aren't quite on par with that gpu

but check what the actual bottleneck is first

FPS numbers are meaningless if they aren't explained with RESOLUTION and graphics settings.

Agreed.

50 fps might mean a CPU bottleneck but at higher resolution, it may not be the case.

Have you tried running Display Driver Uninstaller and doing a fresh install of drivers to see if anything changes? It's free and easy.

Exactly! TS, please let us know what res and ingame setting you have set. IF you're playing at 1080P, try 720P and see if you gain any frames, if not, then it's possible that your CPU's the bottleneck (seriously doubt this tho).

Your first issue for just 50 fps.

8gb ram 2666

Your necessary upgrade is right here. Add 1 stick of 8GB ram to total 16GB of ram. This will help out tremendously with that i5 and no, you do not need to upgrade your CPU. I run BF1 flawlessly with an i5 weaker than yours and a GTX 1070 GPU. But I also optimize not only the games I play, but my PC in general.

If you want a quick boost to your fps, just turn down the following settings in BF1. And trust me, you won't lose much visual fidelity from doing this in BF1.

Motion Blur - 0%

Weapon DOF - OFF

Chromatic Abberation Effect - OFF

Film Grain - OFF

Lens Distortion Effect - OFF

DX12 Enabled - OFF

Lighting Quality - Low

Post Process Quality - Low

Antialiasing Post - TAA

Ambient Occlusion - OFF

Everything else you can leave on ULTRA.

Here are a few more things you can do right now to get much better performance.

Go into Origin and right-click Battlefield 3, then select properties and uncheck the box to eliminate Origin In-Game Overlay.
Click on the Start menu in the bottom left hand corner of your PC and go into your settings. Then click on Power & Sleep. Then click on Additional Power Settings. Then click on High Performance. Apply the setting if given the option. Close out everything.
Right click on your desktop and click on NVidia Control Panel. Then click on Manage 3D Settings. Under Global Settings, look for Power Management Mode. Click on it and then click on Prefer Maximum Performance. Apply the setting(wait about 3-10 seconds after the click). Close out everything.

Let me know what fps you are getting from this if you can. It should be well above 50 fps. Especially if you are running the game in 1080p. Once you know the fps you're getting with these settings, it's wise to cap your frames with MSI Afterburner to keep your CPU from bottlenecking. I get a little over 100 fps in 1440p with my rig so I choose to cap my fps at 85-90 to keep my CPU from bottlenecking. It also keeps it cool as a cucumber.
