Battlefield 1 runs like crap



I mean that I can be in the 60's or 70's and my gpus my at 60%
I play at 144hz usually so 60s in shooters are crappy to me haha
 


That's not what I'm trying to say, I'm saying that my gpu isn't even at 99% but my cpu usage is super high, sometimes higher than the gpu
 


It really only happens in battlefield 1
 


How high is the CPU usage?
Have you tried disabling stuff like origin in game and shadowplay. These two themselves eat up quite a few CPU cycles in the background. Try monitoring your idle CPU usage.

BTW BF1 itself is quite CPU limited at times. I game on a laptop with a 6700HQ and a 980m @ 1080p and there are moments when even I am CPU limited with drops down to 50-55 fps. Considering the 4790k is around 25-30% faster than my CPU, I wouldn't consider drops to 70-80 fps in 64 player maps anything out of the ordinary.
 
My cpu usage is normal when I'm idle, I just don't know what's going on. It seems like a lot of other people are having this problem. My cpu was pinned at 100% almost and my gpu was at like 70
 


Honestly, like I mentioned in my previous post, it seems pretty normal to me. BF1 is extremely CPU intensive and it seems pretty normal that a 4 core/8 threaded CPU would bottleneck a 1080 @1440p in some intensive 64 player maps. Considering my 6700HQ drops to the 50s and sits at 90%+ CPU usage most of the time, your CPU dropping to the 60s and 70s seems about right.
 




GTAV is extremely cpu intensive and I don't have problems with that game. I genuinely do not think that my i7 is bottlenecking my 1080
