Overall the performance of BF1 seems great for most people, however I and several others (Battlefield 1 FPS drops!) have been having issues with 100% CPU usage causing intermittent and large FPS drops, despite having great FPS on average. I’m not sure if this is a driver issue with certain hardware combinations, as on my old GPU (GTX 670 2GB) I had the issue in the beta however was able to fix it by updating drivers. The full release then ran without large FPS drops on my old GPU.
I then upgraded to a GTX 1060 6GB and installed the latest drivers, and when I started playing I found the problem had returned.
My other specs:
i5-3570K @ 4.2GHz (overclocked)
8GB Ram
Windows 10 64-bit
The fact that I had the game running without the large FPS drops on my older GPU seems to point to a driver issue with certain hardware combinations, so I’m not sure if this is actually something that can be helped by Dice, but I would like to mention it anyway. Weirdly enough I ran BF4 and noticed the intermittent FPS drops as well in that, which I never got on my old GPU, however they were not as bad in BF4.
