CPU 100% in battlefield 1

[Dropbearownage]

My friend is having 100% cpu usage in Battlefield 1 and is getting random frame drops sometimes whilst in game.

He was complaining to me about frame drops and his cpu load. At first I thought cpu bottleneck but this cannot be the case with a i5 6500 + GTX 1060 @ 1080p ultra in BF1 with AA off.

His specs:
Cpu: I5 6500 @ 3.2ghz
Gpu: MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X
Motherboard: He forgets the name will update you tomorrow
Ram 16gb of HyperX Fury DDR4 @ 2133mhz

I am not super super smart in figuring out issues like this so I thought I'd turn to you guys for help.

If you are playing in directx12, use directX11 instead

So is there an issue with Dx12? I have a 1070 myself and have yet to try it.

Why can't the CPU be the bottleneck?

The 6600k is listed as a minimum requirement for the game.

The issue is real.
Happens even to people with core i7 processors.
DICE is working on a fix.

Its 11 march 2017,and yet my 7600k is having all cores on 100% with stutters,lags and big fps drops...

That's why you want a r7 1700 the future is now 😉

Well,the i5 6600k beats the 1700,so i'll pass.My cpu is performing perfectly in games like tw3,battlefield 4 and far cry primal.I don't know why bf1 is acting like this,but i doubt,top cpu which is newer than the game itself will have problems with it,or that game companies are starting to make games for just i7 cpu's

There are 4-5 games now that a same clocked 7700k beats a 7600k and a couple that a 6800k beats both, and even one I saw a 6900k beating all 3 lower core ones. It's not going to get less core intensive. (Not saying you made a bad buy), it may be a year or two, but AAA Titles will require at least an i7 soon

Well,that's just bad for me...That means,i'll have to say good bye to my 7600k and rog 270f.If i knew,i'd save a bit and buy x99 and i7...
