100% CPU Usage i5 6600k Battlefield 1

[JayBobGamerZz]

Hey guys, so many people seem to have the 100% CPU usage problem with i5 6600k's in Battlefield 1. Mine is overclocked to 4.5ghz, and I'm still getting 100% CPU usage in Battlefield 1.

Another issue is my RAM, I don't think I have enough for Battlefield 1 either (recommended is 16gb).

- I have 1 stick of 8gb DDR4 2400mhz CL15 Kingston HyperX Fury RAM, and was considering purchasing another 4gb CL15 (same brand, same kind 2400mhz etc), to run in dual channel mode to total 12gb RAM - is that enough for BF1? Because it seems like having only 8gb RAM in single channel is hindering my performance too, all of it is being eaten up. Should I add 4gb to total 12gb, or go all the way and add another 8gb?

As for CPU usage, I'd also love some help, I'm running latest drivers for my GTX 1070, I've tried setting PhysX processor to use my GPU too as some reported that fixed their problem, however I am still stuck.

Surely a 6600k should be able to handle this game at ultra settings, 1080p. Any help would be largely appreciated, I'm sick of all these frame drops.

Something always runs at 100% unless the frames are artificially limited. In bf1 it's any non i7 processor, other games it's the GPU. Do not buy a 4gb stick, get at least another 8 if you're going to upgrade your memory.

buy another 8Gb Identical ram if you want to enable "dual channel" feature, It will help your PC's performance. If you buy 4Gb ram the "dual channel" feature won't be enable.
the biger ram you have would reduce the burden that must be processed by the cpu itself.

I have 16GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz I am still having this issue with my i5 6600k and it too is at 4.5GHz

It's going to run at 100% in that game as I said in my first post. What kind of fps are you getting? What were you expecting?

 

[TheAverageJoe93]

I'm getting "60" (I say that loosely because it dips more than usual) just set my monitor to 75 hz and it ran at 75 but it still dips.

and idk i guess i expected too much with a $230 CPU

I lock it at those Refresh Rates BTW

I would just like to say that after reading tons of comments regarding the 6600k and mazing out CPU usage, when I limited them FPS within the BF1 video menu, my CPU use dropped to fluctuating from 60 to 70%. I keep a steady FPS there with a GTX-970 and of course a 6600K. I can do this with all settings on ultra and DX11 or DX12 doesn't affect it.

I have the same problem, before 2 months ago it was normal, but since then i'm having 100% cpu usage! Are you still facing problems?

my specs: gtx 1070, i5 6600k and 32gb of ram
