FPS Drops in BFV! Should I upgrade?

[carsmc1]

I've been trying all types of methods to maintain my fps in Battlefield above 60fps. However, even when putting it on med-low settings, it seems that during intense scenarios (explosions, gun fights, etc.) my fps drops down to 50-40 fps. Without no hope in sight to seeing a fix to this, I've decided that I should probably upgrade (unless there is a method I haven't tried before that could alter the situation). Here are the specs I have:



GTX 1070 (SC)

i5 6600K (OC 4.3GHZ)

16 GB RAM

MOBO: Gigabyte z170M-d3h-cf



Judging from this, what part(s) should I upgrade...? It seems unusual to me that my PC can't handle this game, even at low settings. Can't seem to decide what Is causing this problem, either being the game itself, or my specs?

Hi carsmc1,

Cheapest option would be an i7 either 6700k or 7700k the extra threads will help in Battlefield1/V, 7700k would needs the latest bios drivers for that MOBO though.

Hey Menlui, thanks for answering. Where can I find the lastest drivers for my mobo?

Do you have future frame rendering set to on?
That adds little bit of input lag but helps with fps issues.
I'd suggest that you stay patient for a while, the game will get better optimization.
You would benefit from a cpu upgrade tho, my ryzen 5 2600x bottlenecks rtx2080 even on ultra settings and 120% resolution.

Just updated all of my Mobo drivers, unfortunately nothing changed. Might have to upgrade or wait for an update. I know people who are having problems running this game even with a gtx 1080ti.

Yeah I have it set to on. Helps significantly but I still get these fps drops.
