Hello everyone,
Before I start, let me introduce my system:
GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5
i5 4460
MSI B85M-E45 (MS-7817)
8GB RAM DDR3
1 TB of Hard disk
1 TB external
I would like to ask for some help. I have had Bf 1 almost since the launch of the game. At the beginning i had a 960, but a month ago, i switched to my current graphics card. With the 960 I would be able to play all medium w around 50 fps average. But since I got my GTX 1060 the game hasn't worked properly at all.
The first hour of gaming or so it would work at around 60 fps, mostly stable with some minor drops to 59. No problem there. But after the first hour passes, the game starts to have hard fps drops. It can get to even completely freeze. The hardest drops and freezes are usually when big explosions occur or when there is a lot of players shooting.
At the beginning I thought it would be addressed in the next few patches, but we have already had a few of them, and it hasn't improved at all. I first used the in-game console and these commands to check what was happening:
Gametime.maxvariablefps
Perfoverlay.drawgraph
Perfoverlay.drawfps
Wasn't very helpful, but I was able to see that something was happening. Then after some research, I stumbled upon MSI afterburner, which I have been using, but I haven't gotten much out of it. The only thing is that my GPU usage never exceeds the 50%, and even in the biggest explosions and so on it doesn't surpass it. Meanwhile, my CPU usage is at a constant 100%. All my four cores are at 100% usage. And when the FPS drop happens its the GPU's usage that drops the most, although the CPU's usage also drops, but not as much.
I would love to know what is happening and how to fix it. How can I lower my CPU usage? How can I increase/force my GPU usage? Is there another way?
PD: The drivers are all updated to the best of my knowledge. I am not sure if it may be the BIOS, I haven't checked yet, but this build is only 2 years old, so the BIOS can't be that outdated.
PDD: I have tried with V-Sync enabled and disabled. Doesn't change or affect that much.
Thanks for the help.
