Battlefield 1 very low FPs on i5-6600k and GTX1060 3GB

[str41gh7]

Hey guys!
I'm Tom and I'm new here. I've read everything here for the last 2 weeks and still can't find the solution.

I really appreciate the Forum, you have helped me billions of times.

I'm trying to play Battlefield 1 and the game goes on LOW around 40-55fps (80 when everything is static in the game eg. no explosions etc).

Why?

My specs:

i5 6600k
GTX 1060 3GB
AsRock Z170 Extreme 4
16GB HyperX RAM
60Hz screen 1920x1080 (in BF1 scaled to 100%)
Windows 7

Also, here is my "user benchmark"
http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/9632775

Cinebench R15: 114.94fps on OpenGL and 561cb on CPU.

I have seen people run it at arount 120fps on that very same specs.

The issue is BF1-only.

Help appreciated! 😉

what settings and res are you using?

what settings and res are you using?

It' all on lowest, 1920x1080

Is it just this game? Are other games ok?


Are you running DX12? If yes switch to DX11.

Other games are more than okay 😉 I'm running DX11, because Win7 does not support DX12

Probably because you have only 3GB of VRAM

What’s your cpu and gpu temperature while gaming?

Is this a legit copy of the game or cracked?

 

[NormH]

50+ isnt bad for that game with you build not overclocked. i have a r5 1500x with a gtx 1060 6gb and avg about 60-70 fps with drops to 50ish in heavy combat but im also at mid to high settings. try using nvidia geforce gaming experience to optimize the game and see what happens

GPU is around 60 celsius
CPU (each core) around 30 celsius

it's legit, I play it online

Thanks I'll try 😉

around 50 would not be bad on mid/high, but on absolutely lowest? 😀

Your cpu cannot be 30c, that would be idle. In game it should be much higher than that. If it is 30c then what speed is it running at?

 

[NormH]

if 30c when in game you have a throttling issue where gpu is not ramping up to speed to play games and thats why you have shit fps

absolute maximum on CPU (all setings on ULTRA in BF1) was around 36c with some 40-42 peaks

so you say that is not normal in any way?

it's 19-23 @ idle

is anything wrong?

Download n install DDU , run it in safe mode. Affter u done reinstall nvidia drivers. Problem should be fixed.

 

[NormH]

are you liquid cooled?

 

[str41gh7]

are you liquid cooled?

I'm not. Simple beQuiet! Pure Rock BK009, Arctic MX-2 on it

I'll try the DDU solution later today.

If you could, please list me the drivers I HAVE TO install after formatting and installing a fresh Win7 64 and new mobo, ram, cpu and gpu. I have never been sure, really

I'll try that later today, I'm @ work atm 😀

Hope it helps, I'll keep you posted!

I think that problem is in your HDD. Maybe buying some SSD would speed things up, from my example on World of Tanks when it was on HDD I get in battle 2 sec after beginning, but when its on SSD I enter the battle almost first and waiting for other players and that is with i5-6500. And that is way low demanding game than Battlefield 1. Also Windows is booting up way faster on SSD than on HDD. I think HDD is slowing your PC down. Thats my opinion and if you have some PC technician or someone who knows about PC consult with him first before buying SSD not to throw your money on something that you maybe dont need, because I am not 100% sure. Also there is a text file on internet you can find it very easy for fixing FPS in Battlefield 1, because I heard that many people have problem with I5 processors and Battlefield 1.

Also your ram is performing below expectation ( I saw it now in Userbenchmark ), read motherboard manual how to place RAM sticks to enable dual channel and enable XMP in BIOS, if you dont know how to do that find someone who can do it for you.

 

[str41gh7]

1. CPU still around 100% on low in BF1, temp still around 33-38 celsius
2. reinstalled drivers with DDU, did not help
3. tried disabling CPU Enhanced Halt C1E and some C states, did not help
4. GTAV and Witcher 3 play at around 60-70FPS on ABSOLUTE ultra maxium
5. PUBG on ultra does around 60fps
6. Battlefield 1 on super-low stays around 40 and drops way below

7. (edit) BF4 on ultra and res scaling 200% holds over 80 fps...

Any more ideas?

HDD is not problem, im gaming on non oc r5 1600 2x4gb ram and rx 570 4gb and have 60 fps all on ultra in bf1(fps is capped) and game is on 8 year old hdd...

OK, my bad, I wasnt sure 100% so I sugesst to him first to talk with PC technician, but later I saw in Userbenchmark score of his RAM memory (I forseen it somehow). My ordinary Kingston 2x8GB 2133Mhz DDR4 sticks performs twice as much better on Userbenchmark then his, and Userbenchmark is also suggesting him that.

edit:
Also I menitoned problem that BF1 have with i5 processors, Youtube is full of those kinds of videos and there is text file that corrects that many people said that txt files helped them with FPS, in my case didnt because i5-6500 is below sys req for BF1
