Okay I am getting horrendous fps in BF1 and I can't seem to figure out why. Getting 35-45 fps no matter what settings i choose or what map or mode it is.

CPU: FX-8320e OC'd to 4.2gHz (ive tried it stock as well) with a corsair h100i-v2 water cooler; have seen multiple videos etc with other people who have this same CPU that are getting GREAT results but I'm getting complete garbage ones.

GPU: RX 480, have it stock for now but I've tried just about everything I can think of and nothing works.

If it matters, I have a 650w EVGA 80plus psu, 8gb of 1600mhz ddr3 and some random 780G chipset mobo.

on msi afterburner it says the gpu load is 50%~ and the cpu is 60%~?

please help it's driving me insane. this setup is more than capable of running the game..

I'm curious to what videos you are seeing. I'm 99% positive your CPU's is holding you back. Battlefield 1 will eat nearly all the CPU performance it can get. I5's can struggle to maintain 60FPS in battlefield 1 at times. And sadly, your AMD CPU is more on a i3 level of performance.

That is all that Battlefield 1's graphic engine can seem to take advantage of.

Here's a example. TESV: Skyrim will likely have a higher % load on a Intel I3 CPU vs a AMD FX 8350, but despite that FX 8350 having a lower load, the system with the 8350 will have a lower Minimum average and likley max FPS compared to the I3. The Single Core performance of the Intel CPU allows it to process and execute the tasks that the game assigns the CPU. The Faster the CPU can execute the task the more infomation is sent to the GPU to be turned into your Frames on the screen. In case of battlefield 1, its engine can only make about 60% usage of your CPU do to the poor design the "cores" in the AMD CPU. The Intel cores are much better designed and so the graphic engine makes better work of the CPU which sends infomation the GPU faster which results in better FPS.

Im not entire sure how to monitor my speeds in game. Can you add me to steam and give me a hand since we have similar setups? my steam is blackops80

it's worth noting i have a very cheap motherboard that I just did the microcenter bundle with. it was like 50$. some asus 780g chipset mATX that was "AM3+/FX Ready" wasn't even built for FX chips, was built for phenoms, it's that old and still being sold new.

Drop your overclock to 3.8ghz, I highly doubt that overclock is entirely stable with no form of vrm cooling
download this

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B26I8uSTEOTseFpuS24wWGtIOHM/view?usp=drivesdk

Unzip to desktop & double click the off.bat file .
This 'should' disable core throttling under heavy load.

Run amd overdrive , keep the CPU status tab onscreen.

Download Intel burn test

http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/intelburntest.html

Give it a run through , & see if all clocks are stable & staying at max speed.

Also while its running check CPU load voltage with cpu-z.

The Asus is not that bad a board for what it is but is not really suited for an 8 core at 4ghz+ with a water cooler fitted
The vrm's are good up to mid 50s , but yours are likely running hotter than that.

If you're happy it all looks stable the try bf1 again.

Same board , fx6300@4.3ghz, gtx 970 - I'm pulling 50-80fps pretty much constant.

Matt, can you add me to steam blackops80, or origin (i think its dsmithhtcx1 or something email is dsmithhtc@gmail.com) since we are super close in specs (i think the rx480 edges yours off a little bit but other than that its super close) i could use the help, i would like to see what you have sset up in your CPU bios cause on our mobo its shown as Jumper config or something??
