So basically I just bought BF1 for my PC, and on campaign in runs on Ultra with no problem, but on multiplayer I can barely run it at medium settings. I watched youtube videos prior to buying the game and people with nearly the same build were getting much better FPS than me in multiplayer. After some research, I found that it may be because I only have one stick of 8gb ram, but overall I am not 100% sure. If anyone would be able to tell me whats going on, please let me know. here are my specs, thank you.

The i3-6100 is a very capable CPU however that video proves nothing, that could easily be a i5 or even a i7. The reason I know this is that some overlays will only show the CPU cores and not the extra threads. I've seen way too many youtube videos claiming these high settings/FPS on lower end systems and when ppl go out and buy the game while having matching hardware there getting nowhere near those settings/FPS. Unless the overlay actually shows the hardware I wouldn't trust most of those videos.

As a side note BF1 multiplayer does favor i7's and actually does utilize the extra hyper-threading (noticed this in beta) but hopefully this will be fixed with upcoming patches/updates. Also every single BF game I've played has always had a rough start with multiplayer and is plagued with performance issues.
