Question bf1 stuttering

[NigateloJones]

So guys recently i got a stable oc of my fx 8320 at 4.5 ghz with 1.4625 v and veryting seems to work just fine, i did some stress tests while monitoring the temps and everything went well but when i m playing bf 4 , bf hardline, rocket league, cod mw 2019 everything runs perfectly , except bf 1.
this game stutters like hell and i tried so many forums and nothing worked for me, i don t know what to do anymore.
i activated the in-game net graph and the ping is fine, latency works fine as well but sometimes, for like 5 - 10 seconds the framerate drops suddenly to 5 - 10 fps and simultaneous the extra offset and down str are high as hell, than everyting goes back to normal again.it goes like this every 1 2 minutes.
i ll upload a pic with the in game graph down bellow.
my specs
amd fx 8320 black edition 4.5 ghz , 1.4625 v
cooler scythe kotetsu with 2 fans running at 1600 rpm offering quite good temps even when i was stress testing
asrock 970 pro3 r 2.0
2x2 gb ram stick + 4gb + 8 gb running on 1333 mhz ddr3
an overclocked gigabyte windforce gtx 750 ti 2gb (oc settings down bellow-tested & stable as well)
psu cooler master 500w
and a seagate hdd 1 terrabyte

BF series is notorious for hammering cpu. BF1 is even more demanding on the entire sytem. Looks like your kit is too old and weak to keep up now.

 

[sizzling]

Does your cpu clockspeed drop at all?

Your mismatched RAM possibly isn’t helping either. The best you can hope for is 8gb in dual channel and 8gb in single channel but it could be its all dropped to single channel.

when i don t get the stuttering the game runs fine with a solid 60-75 fps

i don t know i never checked yet
the 8 gb module is a corsair xms3 ddr3 1333 mhz with the 9-9-9-24 timings cl9
if i get a module with the same features do u think it s gonna work?

You need to check the cpu stays at a stable speed especially as you overclocked it. As for RAM, having 2 same sticks would be better if it works. You have been quite lucky mixing RAM, it doesn't always work without issue even if you buy the same models but they don't come from a matched kit. I know with DDR4 systems single vs dual channel can have a material impact on performance and single channel can stutter in some games, I am not sure if DDR3 sees a similar impact.

i ll see if the cpu fluctuates between various clock speeds , if it does what is the problem then?

 

[NigateloJones]

i searched the market and i found a g skill module with the same characteristics as the corsair, i didn t find the same model from corsair, i think it should do the job

Overclocking the 125w FX CPU's often led to motherboard vrm overheating. There are no temperature sensors you can monitor on the vrm's of these old boards but if they do overheat the board will throttle the cpu.

what vrm means and is there any way to make it more efficient or can i make the oc more stable

VRM = Voltage Regulator Module, they control the power delivery to the cpu. If this is happening the best thing would be reducing the voltage and therefore power of the overclock.

At this point though its just an idea, you need to see if you are suffering random drops.

i reduced the oc and the voltage and right now i m in a bf match and i didn t get any fps drops yet

Is BF1 set to run in DirectX 11 or 12?

dx 11
i tried 12 as well and it didn t improve the fps

 

[Nighthawk117]

DX12 never worked properly on BF1 regardless of what hardware you have that's why I asked. On my machine it just stutters no end. Your memory config won't be doing you any favours because if you get dual channel it will only be for the first 4GB. Difficult to know if that would solve your issue though. Exceeding the 2GB VRAM buffer of the 750 Ti could also cause frame pacing issues. If you have MSI Afterburning installed it will tell you how much VRAM you are using.

i don t think it s the gpu bcs i played mw 2019 and i never had problems like this and it s a lot more gpu intensive than bf1 which uses mostly the cpu

Your links didn't work for me, are you playing at 1080p or 720p?

 

[geofelt]

You were probably throttling because of motherboard VRM overheating.
Take the case covers off and direct a house fan at the innards.
See if that helps.
If it does, look to better case cooling.

1080p with everything on low and the story runs just fine

at this point i m thinking to get a new mobo and better ram
i took the side panel off already

 

[NigateloJones]

what power plan does the GIGABYTE 990X-GAMING SLI have?
it s an 6+2 or 8+2

 

[geofelt]

Stuttering is usually a temporary lack of cpu resource.
Usually the single master thread.
You are seriously hampered by the FX-8320. The cores are abysmally slow.
Run the cpu-Z bench and look at the single thread performance.
You should get something like 259:

I would not spend another dime trying to fix it.
Less than $250 will buy you a i3-10100 cpu that is twice as strong along with a lga1200 motherboard and 16gb of ram.

eventually i ll consider upgrading to a new cpu+mobo +ram kit if u could give me some ideas regarding the upgrade with an amd and a decent mobo capable of ocing

My recollection is that the 99FX chipset motherboards work the best with the FX-8xxx processors.
That said, I think you would be throwing good money away.

yeah it s not worth the money
