I upgraded from an r9 380 strix to a GTX 1070 strix oc and it worked fine for the first few days but it slowly starts getting worse and worse. I've had to drop my scaling and graphics down everyday I play the game and it only still gets about 30fps average.
Specs:
i5 6600k
1070 Strix OC
16gb Ram
1tb hard drive

Honestly have no clue and it's very annoying that I can't run it on at least high at 60 fps.
 
Solution
Just go into the BIOS and change the CPU multiplier to 42 for 4.2MHz OC or 44 for 4.4MHz. You should be able to do both without a volt change if you have a good CPU cooler.

I don't OC unless needed. When I built my current PC 3 years ago I OC the CPU to 5 GHz as a test for one day, I then lowered it back to stock because I did not need the extra power and heat at the time. Had a HD6950 2 gb GPU at the time

When I got BF1 I notice lag\choppy game play sometimes on the big maps. I bumped my MHz to 4.2 and the game runs a lot better. My temp hit a max of 67C. Stay below 80C and it will be fine. Upgraded to a r9 390x 8GB GPU.
The 6600K may have issues keeping up with the GPU. Use HWmonitor to check % used and temps. Then OC the CPU if needed. You may need a new CPU cooler if you have the stock one.

Check your HD, it may need to be defrag. Window should already do this, but make sure. Do you shut down or reboot your PC? Check background application, AV.

My i5 3570K @4.2 and a r9 390X 8GB and 16GB ram runs BF1 at 1920X1080 on a 27" Ultra with default settings. I think vsync is on it stays a 60 FPS 90% of the time.
 


it works fine in other games. For Honor I'm getting like 120 avg FPS. My temps never go above 50c at all.
 


I have a Cryorig H7 and it runs fine. Never gets above 50c. Now the OC thing I've always been afraid of. This is my first PC build and did it probably like 2 months ago after my first build failed on me in August of last year. Idk I'm just very inexperienced with that kind of stuff, I know it's also pointless to buy a 6600k and not OC it.
 


Did you try and reinstall ?
 


No I have not yet. That's kinda like my last resort because my internet is TERRIBLE. Like I get under a mb/s so it takes forever to download. Living in the country is great I guess eh?
 

That would of been the first thing to do regardless of how good internet is. If all of games work fine than its not hardware related. Reinstall i know its a bummer but drops in the 30s isnt much fun.

Overclocking isnt going to solve his problem. In battlefield games it relies more on core count than clock speed. With a skylake 6600k he should run the game like a dream at stock settings.
