i5-6600k @4.5ghz, R9 380x. Both CPU and GPU appear to be a bottleneck. Extremely frustrating as changing the settings does very little to reduce the strain on either. I’m not experiencing the same freezing for 2-3 seconds like a lot of you appear to be. I reinstalled windows the night Battlefield 1 came out (fresh install, unrelated to the game launch) and while that’s a solution, I haven’t had this ‘freezing’ problem even once. Certain maps I can get 1080p 72hz just fine, other maps I can’t even get 1080p 60hz (regardless of changing settings.) Less impressed the more I play. I understand my GPU isn’t the greatest but my 6600k is a silicon lottery champ and still hits 95% (I’ve gotten it to 5.1ghz on air). I do get the serious stuttering with DX12 on. DX11 doesn’t seem to exhibit it. I have no idea how people with ANYTHING less than a 6600k/6700k are expected to play this game. ---

If you have overclocked your CPU, try reverting bios settings back to default and run battlefield 1 to see if framerate still drops. I found out that OC setting was causing the problem for me. After returning to default bios settings, battlefield no longer drop to 20-30 frames. I get steady 90-110 fps on low setting and the lowest framerate drop is 60fps. Which is still playable. I now overclocked my CPU back to 4.6ghz again but this time with different settings enabled and disabled in bios. Bios setting: Only increase mulitiplier to 23 Enabled cool n quiet and c1e Disabled c6 PC: Windows 10 x64 Anniversary AMD FX-8320 GTX 970 Hope this helps. ---

> [@BrilhanteUstra](#): > > Same here. Changing to low or ultra has no impact in the stuttering. Fps keep flutuating between 40 - 60 fps (both singleplayer and multiplayer), causing scrren locks for less than 1 second. This is more noticeable in monte Grappa map. Other maps like Argonne i can maintain constant 60 fps. > > FX 6300 > GTX 970 > 16 GB RAM > WINDOWS 7 SP1 -64 bit What’s weird is that i get fps drops only during multiplayer sessions, while single player runs smooth as butter… ---

Having fps drops (framerate jumps in range 40-60) too on any settings. GTX 780, i5 3570k, 16Gb RAM. Beta was giving me solid 60 fps on ultra, so I hope this issue is fixable 🙂 Waiting for a patch. ---

ppl are saying that GameDVR takes away fps and generates fps drops. guy explaining it/talking about it: [![Video: Windows 10 eating performance?

Guys, here`s a little fix that might improve your FPS . 1. Set gametime.maxvariablefps to your monitor refresh rate. 2. Change in game the RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit to test which setting works best for you. RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 1 - significantly lowers and limits the GPU usage to 70 %(can not reach higher) . CPU usage lowers abit down to 70 %. A lot of sluttering and FPS limited to 50. RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 0 - (default value) - 99 % GPU Usage | 95-100 % CPU Usage. RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 2 - 99 % GPU Usage | 70-85 % CPU usage. RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 3 - 99 % GPU Usage | 70-85 % CPU usage. For my config RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 2 gives the best combo. Hyperthreading is enabled. 1. Create user.cfg file in your Battlefield 1 Main folder. Paste the following lines in this file. gametime.maxvariablefps 60 (your monitor refresh rate) RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 2 ---

Looks like running the game in borderless window improves performance a bit. Maybe it’s just my luck, but definitely worth trying. 🙂 ---
