Will the i7 3770k bottleneck in Battlefield 1?

Navitus · Sep 26, 2016

I'm running an i7 3770k now and I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to a GTX 1070. I play at 1080p resolution. I'm just aiming for 60 FPS so is there any way that my CPU would bottleneck Battlefield 1? I hear that at lower resolutions games are more CPU bound so I want to make sure there's no bottleneck.

At 1080p 60fps no it won't, I got some in the beta with a 3570k in BF 1 Beta with 1440p/144hz but managed to keep a minimum of 60 fps in it on ultra.

I do not know what to make about the minimum and recommended specs for BF1.
http://www.pcgamer.com/battlefield-1-system-requirements/
It lists minimum as a i5-6600K and a FX-6350.
Those processors are nowhere close.
I think someone who is not knowledgeable just used clock rates.
Only if the game is truly and well multithreaded(which is hard to do) would those specs make sense.
If so, your I7-3770K would be good.
I suggest you buy the game and test things out for yourself.

^ wait and see, agreed that the mini specs are weird, how much difference is there between an i5-4xxx and and i5-6xxx not a lot I'd suggest (5%).

There is no way a well clocked 3770k will cause issues (he says....). I got a constant 80% peg on my 3570k at 4.4 on the beta. Even if the actual game is heavier on CPU, the 3770k should be fine. That engine is generally good for core count.

I think you're still safe, but wait until the final release of the game to confirm.

I tested the beta on my Core i7 4770K which is only slightly faster than your CPU and it was a smooth experience. Though for 1080p 60Hz I think a GTX 1060 or RX 480 would be the better choice than a GTX 1070. GTX 1070 is for 1440p and some games in 4K. It's WAY OVERKILL at 1080P unless you have 144Hz or something like that.
