1050ti i5 6600k running bf1, can't get above 30fps on low

[Lima85]

I have a gtx 1050ti with an i5 6600k cpu. I've seen the exact same set up I have run high and ultra settings in BF1 and get 60+ no problem. On low I can't even reach 30fps.
All drivers are updated, I've played with the in game settings and can't get it to be playable. Any guidance is appreciated!

Thanks

1) make sure monitor is plugged into the 1050ti not your motherboard

2) check cpu and GPU temps.

Fps that low is either overheating parts or using on board video most likely

Need to grab a cable tomorrow at the store to connect my monitor to the 1050ti. At the moment it's connected to the Mobo via VGA. This is a fresh build, so I'm trying to fine tune it.
CPU and GPU temps are all normal, not even close to a concern.

Should I disable the on board video in order to be sure it's running on my GTX 1050ti?

so your monitor is NOT connected to the 1050ti when you game?

according to the following;

Battlefield 1 Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790 / AMD FX 8350 Wraith
RAM: 16 GB
OS: 64-bit Windows 10 or later
Video Card: DirectX 11.0 Compatible video card (AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB / nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB)

you do not meet the requirements for high FPS on low setting.

He is running on onboard video he just said as much. Once you plug into your 1050ti all will be good

I guess I found the problem lol
Like I said it's a new build & im new to this. I was unaware plugging in to the mobo would be that big of a difference. I'll update later today once I get the proper cable. Thanks!

Yes you can only use the GPU if you're plugged into the GPU. It's one of the most common mistakes on here don't feel too bad.

I appreciate all the help. Bought an adapter and plugged in to GPU, BF1 is now running over 70fps with an 80-90% CPU usage and my temps around 70-75C all on Ultra settings. Best part about it, I'm not even overclocked yet. Great help, thanks again!
