Hey I have an FX-8370, GTX 1060 6GB, and 8gb of Ram 1333mhz. When i play Battlefield 1 on High settings, I get an average of maybe 75fps. But it will actually go up to the 90's then drop to the 60's under heavy fighting. I wonder if my 8gb ram is causing a bottleneck since I read the recommended memory for bf1 is 16gb? I play Titanfall 2 on High settings very very smoothly and have no issues, but BF1 i some minor issues with fps

Hello!

Right this is a huge issue with gaming systems now, your RAM is a bottleneck no doubt, you'll be able to see my specs in this post but....8GB RAM and I get stutter when lots goes on in GTA 5 so upgrade your RAM and you're golden, If i was you I would upgrade to 16GB 1600MHz in dual channel config and you will be absolutely fine, this will solve any stutters no doubt.

Hope this helps! :)

No, definitely not. I'm not actually aware of a game that can properly utilize more than 6GB of ram running at less than 4k resolution. Unless you have some kind of multi monitor 4k or 8k gaming setup, most games simply don't use system memory. This is especially true for BF1, as it's been tested with various ram capacities with absolutely no FPS impact at all.

You can see this tested at 2:13 in the video below...
