How can I make Battlefield 1 run better.

[neagumihai961]

Specs:
i3 7100 3.9 Ghz(hyperthreading)
Gtx 1050ti Oc version(factory overclocked at 1488Mhz)
12Gb Ram 2133Mhz(8+4 dual channel)

I wouldn't say I can't play the game. I have upwards of 70fps on ultra in the game. But during more stressful moments during multyplayer it drops to 40 fps or even 30 for like a split second, and it creates a small ammount of stuttering that is not that detrimental to gameplay but i can't seem to get rid of this small issue even if i lower the settings. I tried the game even in medium and low and i only noticed an increase of 5-10 fps and the stuttering still happens. Like i said, it's a very small issue, but i still want a smoother experience because as small as it is, it's still noticeable.
I understand that bf4 is less taxing on the system than bf1 but i can play that game with no problems on ultra at 70-90 fps and it never goes below 70fps even when there are mutiple explosions at once near me. I would say it's probably the 64 vs 64 game mode that is responsible for the problem, since in bf4 i rarely find any game with 128 players at once but even if i do enter one with that many players i still have no problem since it's an older title.

My first guess is that my CPU is creating a small bottleneck and not unlocking the full potential of the graphics card. In no way do I believe I own a gaming RIg but just a budget pc. so i would gladly lower some settings if it meant getting rid of the stuttering.

You may want to try limited your FPS to 60 in Nvidia's game profiles for Battlefield 1. This will allow your CPU more time for processing player locations and terrain. It will also keep your parts cooler and allow them to boost when your FPS would dip instead of running at 90fps when you dont. Light settings seem to make the most impact so try change those only and see if the game runs better. Most would recomment an i5 for battlefield 1 so you got to free up as much as possible processing for the i3 to keep up.

thank you for the response. i will try that.

There's not really much you can do when your processor and memory don't meet minimum system requirements.

how do they not meet minimum requirements when i just said i can run the game at ultra only with minor dips? the only thing that doesn't meet the minimum requirements is my cpu, but even so i still have good fps at ultra. anyway, the first answer solved my dipping problems, i was about to pick it as the solution but i also saw your comment and had to inform you about the misinformation you spread.

Ok, so, here they are



hmm..... yeah, it sure says that i need a better CPU, just like i said, the only thing i don't meet but i'm still able to have a smooth experience at ultra.
oh, look at that, 8 GB of Ram....hmm, well, i have 12 of 'em.
and what is that, GTX 660? only 2Gb of Vram? well, would you look at that, i have a 1050ti with 4 Gb of Vram.
maybe it's the internet connection then.....nope, i have a 300mb's connection

So, when you add all of this up it seems weird that you'd suggest i don't meet the gpu minimum requirements of this game. and i would argue that the recommended requirements are blown out of proportion when i can just as well play it on ultra with an inferior build than what is suggested in the recommended field.
so please stop acting like a child and don't try to lie again that you did any research on this topic.

The reason you're posting is because you don't have a smooth experience on ultra. It says so in your original post. I know the truth hurts and I get it, you spent money on a new system and you are asking why you're getting inadequate performance. Ok, I was incorrect about your computer meeting the game's memory minimum system requirements, but your 12gigs ARE STILL NOT RECOMMENDED to play the game. Meaning the ONLY piece of hardware that battlefield 1 can recommend in your whole entire system is the graphics card. My point is don't be so hard on your system when the frames dip, due to running graphical settings on ultra.

you're not wrong about the reason why i posted this. but like i said in the thread lowering the graphics only resulted in a 5-10 fps increase and it did not get rid of the dip. and i even made sure to explain how insignificant the dip in fps was. but the first answer really did solve the problem. i lowered the settings to high preset and locked the fps to 60. and it stays in between 50 and 60 now without any dips. i tried multiple maps of the game, even the one that was giving me the most problems, the one in the desert, forgive me, i only bought the game today so i don't know their names. i admit, i was rash and i raged a bit at you, but i admire your cool answer. and i know i don't have the most powerfull pc, like i said in the thread it's only a budget pc. right now i'm looking to upgrade my cpu to an i5 7600k, but to do that i have to sell my ps4 and the ps4 games. and with the money i will be able to hopefully buy the new cpu and another stick of 8 gb of ram so i can have 16 gigs(only 2 slots on the motherboard so i have to remove the 4gb one).

Keep your system the way it is, save your money and purchase an i7 when you're ready. Games like BF1 are optimized for more than 4 cores and you'll need the horsepower especially if you expect longevity out of this system (as future Triple A titles are released).
