Battlefield 1 GTX 1070 i5 2500k huge fps drop problem

Cerativ · Oct 24, 2016

Hello
I have recently got gtx 1070. Since then I am experiencig horrible performance problems. I had gtx 780 before and everything was allright. All I know is that the graph card is OK, because it was tested by guys who run copmuter store
I am confused what to do. All temperatures are alright no bluescrees etc. Any ideas?

I think it could be an issue with the game. I have everything on low with a 740 and am usually fine but occasionally go down to a few fps for a bit. Specifically after tabbing out.

With strong gpu's many people are complaining of very high CPU usage when running modern i5's. Apparently EA are looking into a fix. In effect i5's and I include 6600k's are bottlenecking strong gpu's. BF1 is favouring higher thread CPU's

What setting do you have video scaling at? It should be at 42%. You will see much better fps at that setting.

Cerativ · Oct 26, 2016

100%. 42% was in beta

I'm leaning to the assumption that its your CPU. Battlefield 1 is very dependent on processors , favoring the I7's.

Zeroark · Oct 27, 2016

Yeah unfortunately your GPU is being bottlenecked, BF1 is highly CPU dependent and even an OC'ed i5 6600k with that GPU still has drops..

Mac070 · Oct 27, 2016

Yah dude I'm actually going to the point to selling my I5 6600K because it's a bottleneck for my GTX 1070. Its pretty sad .... Like the I5 just isn't cutting it with the newer games like we have seen on Gears Of War 4 and Battlefield 1. So I'd take into consideration of purchasing a new CPU . An Intel I5 is bare minimum for the game.

Cerativ · Oct 27, 2016

Problem solved
You were right guys. I5 2500k @ 4.8 GHz was seriously bottlenecking GTX 1070 in battlefield NO DOUBT. Anyone who says that i5 is enough are simply lying

Bought i7 4790k completely solved the problem. now fps does not go lower than 75 FPS
Thanks again guys

BF1 is an extreme case but I have seen a few benchmarks lately showing i7's can give material gains especially for those after high fps for high Hz monitors.

Mac070 · Oct 27, 2016

Yah im actually selling my I5 6600K. The I5 2500K you had was showing its age. Its very old . The I5 6600K is much stronger but is bare minimum for the game however.

Cerativ · Oct 27, 2016

Nowadays i7 is a good idea

Mac070 · Oct 27, 2016

Yah dude . I totally agree with you man. GTA 5 my be fine but not Battlefield 1 or Gears of War 4...

Mac070 :

I don't know, especially after reading this a while ago I was just under the impression that it was DX12's shit optimization for the game on Nvidia hardware.

Its the BF1 multiplayer that's crippling i5's

chemmajorp53 :

It's just that real good triple AAA Titles are wanting some beefy parts man. Ill tell you what. My I5 6600K is a bottleneck for this GPU. Yes this is a stretch, but for most games its good. However for the newer titles im seeing that i should treat my EVGA FTW 1070 with some love and get the I7 6700K. But then again im not treating my wallet....

Cerativ · Oct 27, 2016

The i5 2500k is really good, it could really handle previous games at FHD, ultra with no choke.
The Witcher 3, BF4, GTA 5, Arma III etc. stable 75 FPS + (except for arma - it really depends on missions)
It is easy to OC even 4.8 GHz wasn't the problem at all
But to be honest, it has problems to hande newer games. I can officially say the legendary i5 2500k has reached it's limit

I will miss it

Mac070 · Oct 27, 2016

Yah dude i feel you just reading that. Hate to let go of stuff like this when you really like it but isn't cutting it

Zeroark · Oct 30, 2016

Glad to hear you've solved it m8, an i7 4790k is a great pick

Hopefully BF1 will roll out an update to fix this FPS drops problem

Running an fx 8300 at 3.5 and 1060 6gb, So far its ultra by default, vsync off, i set the fps limit in a cfg file, the game does favor more threads like mentioned i suppose. I'm hitting well above 60's but capped it as i said, im only on a 60hz monitor. 1080p. Why is it mostly intel lagging behind? I don't get it.

Djpoontangy · Oct 31, 2016

I'm not bragging lol but simply saying, they need to look into this big time! You'd expect a newer iX series to kick some major ass!

Djpoontangy :

Its a game that can actually utilise all 8 threads of the FX8xxx series, they actually do very well in BF1 compared to other games.
