BF1 cutscene issues...

[adamscurr]

Hi guys... My Battlefield 1 is having trouble with cutscenes... I understand this is a common problem and everyone on the internet and their brother has a solution an I don't want to go messing around changing all sorts of things based on crazy ideas... Why I'm asking this community who I trust more...!

My specs are...

i7 6700k (5 Ghz OC)
Corsair H110I Extreme
Asus Hero Alpha
16 gig G skill trident 3200 Ram
1080 Strix ROG (2126 OC)
Some SSDs
1000 watt Roswell PSU
A boat ton of fans
A nice thermaltake case for the boat ton of fans...
Some pretty RGB lights for the thermaltake case with the boat load of fans!

So obviously I have the horsepower to run the game... Everything is set to ultra, but the cut scenes are really laggy and kinda annoying...

Your system is very sexy. The first thing I'd try is seeing what toning down the aggressive overclocking would do.

Have you tried both DX11 and DX12?

Some people say it's a DX12 issue (and DX12 also was causing stutter in the game which may or may not have been fixed).

it would do nothing. (though I personally would drop the frequency a tad for longevity of the chip.)

Thanks for the advice guys... I guess I'll drop the OC... a little... 5 GHZ just sounds so awesome! I do want this chip to last though so I don't think pushing it all the time is necessary... But 5 GHZ is SO COOL!!!

I'll try swapping DX11 and DX12 and see if it makes a difference... The stutter is only during cut scenes so the game is totally playable since it runs smoothly during actually game play... It definitely ruins the immersion for cut scenes though...

Update: So crazy.. When I installed the game I just let Nvidia optimize it and didn't give it a second thought. I figured it would be running on DX12 but when I looked in the game, DX12 was not enabled... I thought, heck, I'll give it a go... Sure enough, enabled DX12 and it is running like a champ in cutscenes... Go figure, cause I know a lot of internet chatter says DX12 is the problem...

BTW, I also dropped my chip to 4.6 ghz... Doesn't seem to make much difference and I do want it to last a while... I can also crank up the speed for benchmarking and such or later if I need to for an intense game...

Thanks for all the advice,

Adam

Update: So things are still working fin on BF1... Something I wanted to note is that I am still getting very similar results from benchmarking the system, lending support to Dud and Phot's suggestion to drop it down... It doesn't seem to make any impact on the overall performance and only a very slight difference when benchmarking...
