Possible Bottlenecking issue? BF1

[SammehMate]

Hello all,

So I've recently upgraded my graphics card from an Asus GTX 1060 3gb to a Zotac GTX 1070 ti 8gband I'm experiencing some issues on Battlefield 1. Lower fps in some cases than my previous graphics card but I'm wondering if it's an issue with my processor or other components.

My full specs -

Intel Core i5 4690k 3.5ghz
Zotac GTX 1070 ti 8gb
Coolermaster B700 700w PSU
16gb Ram (2x8gb) G-Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600mhz
Gigabyte H81M-S2PV Motherboard
2tb Western Digital hard-drive

Would appreciate any replies, thank you!,
Sam

BF1 is a very CPU intensive game

It should be coming from a cpu bottleneck. 4th gen i5 will max out in many cases with BF1. You can identify the bottleneck by yourself by monitoring cpu and gpu usage during these fps drops. Use Afterburner's Riva Tuner and check whether the cpu goes at 100% usage.
In addition, this motherboard has poor vrm/mosfet and could be overheating which will make the cpu throttle. You can improve your system with a Z mobo. Also faster ram can help with BF1.

Would i benefit a lot from upgrading to say an Intel I7 7700 4.2GHz Kabylake Quad Core CPU and a Gigabyte H110M-S2H Motherboard?

Pretty much yes. It is a huge upgrade from your i5. It handles BF1 easy

Your CPU is actually below minimum requirements for Battlefield 1 single player (an i5 6600k is required). Even though you're probably only about 15% below an i5 6600k that still makes you 15% below the minimum. If you upgrade to an i7 even one that would fit your current motherboard it will make a substantial difference

Single player is fine for many cpus, also for the i5 4690K which is powerful. Even i5 6600K struggles so hard to keep up with multiplayer 64 player battle. It will drop below 50's in many occasions which makes these official specs actually inappropriate. A 6th gen i7 or above should do it
