So I've recently built a PC and I'm having some issues with Battlefield 1. Using an i5-7400 paired with an MSI 1070 GPU, I'm consistently getting less than 60 fps with frequent stutters, despite the fact that when I play the offline mode, I get smooth performance over 60 fps on Ultra with no dips or stutters at all.
I played in windowed mode and opened my hardware monitor with some interesting results:
Leave the max GPU performance of 70% aside (it was consistently running around 40-50%). My CPU was running an 100% with a rare dips into the 80s and 90s. I reduced pre-rendered frames to 0, which briefly helped until things picked up and I was back to a perpetual 100% on the CPU. Switching the settings from Ultra-->Low had no noticeable improvements. Knocking up the resolution scale to 125% increased GPU core usage a little bit (like 10%), but didn't hurt or improve fps in any noticeable way. I ran the Unengine Valley Benchmark and the GPU ran fine. Ran the Intel Extreme Tuning benchmark with no issues (turbo was around 3.3-3.5 with no thermal throttling:
Firestrike also seems good:
I've noticed that I also run into huge fps losses with the Witcher 3 when there are large amounts of characters on screen. BF1 is at its worst when there are many units/explosions/effects on screen which has lead me to believe it's the CPU.
I've done pretty much every trouble-shooting method with the application but I'm still getting inferior performance vs PCs with worse specs. Any insight would be appreciated. Here's the system info:
ASUS Z270m Pro4
16 GB DDR4 2133 RAM (dual channel)
i5-7400 CPU at 3.0 ghz (turbo to 3.3-3.5) w/stock cooler
MSI AERO Nvidia GTX1070 8 GB
750 W PSU
Thanks in advance
