I have a problem with my cpu, while I'm playing BF1 cpu is always load on 100% an d gpu satys between 80-90%,and the avg fps on high setting is around 40-45,while on this same setting an i3 with gtx 1050 ti gives you 55 avg fps,according to the testing my rig can perform 64 fps in avg on those settings,I'm asking all pf you,what should I do to fix this problem?

You don't have a terrible processor, but it is below the minimum requirements for BF1, so you cant expect any miracles.

You should be seeing 100% load for your CPU, that is good. Make sure you are not running DX12 on the settings. You say you have a single kit Kingston Hyper X, is that a single stick of RAM (1x8gb) or is two sticks (2x4gb)? If you only have one stick, then there may be an issue. Your board is a dual channel board and runs best when you have 2 sticks of RAM installed.

I would go to userbenchmark.com and run a test of your...

What testing? Remember, YMMV depending on drivers, RAM speeds etc - various factors. You can't always take one review/test as 100% indicative of what you'll see performance-wise. This goes double for Youtube "reviewers" posting videos of their FPS and claiming it's performed on X hardware.

I asusme you're running an i3 + 1050TI? BF1 is pretty CPU intensive, so 100% CPU utilization is not surprising.
The fact your GPU is up near 100% too, would indicate a pretty well balanced system.

I would go to userbenchmark.com and run a test of your hardware. This will test all of your hardware and compare it to other entries. If there is a problem, the part will be far below average.

Same here (I5 4690K and GTX 1080) get CPU spike to 100% in all maps they become heavier when playing in maps like St.Quentin or Amiens ( running the game at 2K resolution seems to help a little bit with the bottleneck reducing to 98% but not a perm. solution unfortunately, as others have said above BF1 is pretty CPU intensive, I don't think we can do anything about it but to exchange our I3s or I5s with an I7... or maybe DICE really messed up with BF1 after all these recently updates.

You could also try this as a temporary solution - Press the quotes key while ingame ( " ) open the game console and type RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 2 then press Enter and see if anything changes.
 
It's important we state whether these i5s are overlcocked.

I AGREE that at stock clocks, i5s from this gen and previous will struggle BUT the ~15% of gains (3.9 to 4.4 for eg on all cores) really do help and as I said, I can play Amiens or whatever all day long and rarely see 100% CPU, holding frames nicely at 75fps (monitor refresh).

Fabio - oc that CPU!
Op- you are out of luck

I'm thinking on doing that but unfortunately I have seem that my motherboard might not be good enough for overclocking, it's a ASUS H97M, never overclocked before because I've never needed so far, BF1 is the only game that really struggles to run at decent steady fps all the time.

 


Your i5 6500 isn't good enough to have 100% stable fps in bf1.
Bf1 is one of the first games that actually NEEDS more than 4 cores to run the game smoothly.
