Hi guys.
I'm creating a thread on behalf of my brother.
He is having trouble running Battlefield 5 on his system. Very low fps (30-40, sometime worse) and stuttering.
Changing graphic settings does no difference, so i'm thinking cpu?

Specs(can get more precise specs later this week):
Intel i5-6600 non K
16 gb ram
GTX 1070
MSI Z170A PC MATE

Do you guys have any suggestions for upgrades etc?
His budget is very low, but any help/tips will be much appreciated!

Best regards

Seems like the minimum CPU spec is an i5-6600k: https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-5/buy/pc-system-requirements

Before jumping straight to new hardware it may be worth seeing if closing background tasks will help with performance, and even adjusting game settings.

As for the upgrading... really depends how much money is available, and how the upgrade is envisioned.

If insisting on staying on the same motherboard then the only real options would be the i7s for it, which means the i7-6700(k) or i7-7700(k). For the latter a BIOS update is likely required for it to work. The limitations of this upgrade is there will be no future CPU upgrade as the platform is end of life. Intel CPUs for whatever reason seem to hold...

Intel CPUs for whatever reason seem to hold their value despite their age.

If able to upgrade the motherboard and CPU, it will (highly likely) allow future CPU upgrades. This will likely require a more flexible budget. The RAM can also be reused (assuming it is DDR4).
