New to a higher end pc

[austinl93]

So I just recently got a pretty high end pc when the last one i had wasn't very good so I don't know how to adjust settings in game accordingly. I have a ryzen 1600 overclocked, 16gb's of g.skill ddr4 ram at 2666, a asrock x370 killer sli motherboard, an msi gtx 1070, corsair cx750m, seagate 2tb hdd, and a 128gb m.2 ssd. I'm having lag issues on bf1 on ultra settings. I'm noticing screen tearing and have tried every v sync setting in the nvidia control panel and still see it. And the game will go from running smooth with no issues to lagging pretty badly. I've tried using recommended settings that nvidia experience wanted me to use but it launched some of my games in low settings at 720p so I just don't use it anymore. Also the monitor I am using is a benq gl2760h

well, BF1 that chip and gpu should be knocking down 90-100fps (assuming that overclock is around 3.9ghz). Even without a serious overclock on that cpu you should be over the refresh rate of that monitor (60hz). Well the hardware is definitely enough to max out that game at 60fps. Is AA on or off? and are you sure Vsync isn't doing anything? Screen tearing almost always is a vsync fix.

I've tried all the settings in vsync and it still has a ton of tearing and aa is it's not maxed out but I have it.

can you download, install MSI Afterburner, leave it running when you play the game, and post a link to the log here? Make sure you are tracking everything MSI Afterburner lets you track.

I can't really figure out what's happening from your description of the problem.

Is it screen tearing or stuttering? Cuz they mean the opposite. Is ur monitor 60hz? If so, having around 90fps can induce screen tearing. This doesn't mean lag. This means ur monitor can't cope up with ur pc. Try restricting the fps to 60 in the in game settings (is that setting there in bf1? Not a fan of shooting games). And I don't think you would be getting less that 40fps with those specs. In which case it leads to lag and stuttering.

It occasionally lags when there are a ton of people in one area when I'm playing conquest with 64 players. And yes my monitor is 60hz and I have it capped to 120 since I wanted over 60 fps but I wasn't allowed to choose anything over 60 and under 120... SO instead of tearing it could be my monitor acting up since that is more fps than it can handle. And my pc constantly stays above 60 fps I believe on ultra

Anything over 60fps is pointless on a 60hz monitor and will cause screen tearing.

I just got the pc. And I've had the monitor over a year I had it for my older gaming pc which was pretty dated so i didn't need anything spectacular...
