CPU usage will be higher on lower settings/resolution afaik. Using sli 1080s at 1080p is also gonna cause a MASSIVE cpu bottleneck.

I hope they are working on a patch, but EA/DICE TALK TO US! We would complain a crap load less if you told us you’re working on something, or even acknowledged this as an issue.

I’m not planning to upgrade my Mobo & CPU for BF1 😕

I don’t know much about much but wondering if Denuvo is a factor in the performance issues . It was suggested that it was responsible for massive performance issues in Arkham Knight and Homefront :Revolution . Maybe somebody with more knowledge of these things could comment.

My CPU usage is only at 60% GPU 99% each when playing everything maxed 150% scaling. They have to figure out why everyone’s performance is varying though and the crashes

I’m running a 4790k @ 4.3 Ghz with a pair of 980s in SLI

My FX 6300 is getting very hot with this game. I own many games and playing them the highest temperature i saw was 58° C. With this game it has reached 65° C.

I’m running a 4690k @4,7Ghz CPU at 100% most of the time on all cores on DX11&12.  
FPS are all over the place (60-150) and to be able to play at all i have to close all other programs, browsers and such. Or i will get horrible drops (20-30) and random stutter.  
I have a “try hard setting” with a mixture between low to ultra  
(on Nvidia BF1 game ready driver)

But Cpu is going a 100% after 1 or 2 maps.

6700K + 980ti @ 1440p/144hz + W10 PRO + 16GB 3000mhz Ram, cpu sits at 60-70%, the lowest I have seen my FPS go is around 95fps, otherwise sits well over 100fps with most settings on Ultra except a couple.

What cooler do you have and are you overclocked? I was running my 6300 @ 4.6 (have an evo 212 push pull) but with the heat from my video card it was getting up around where you are at 65c… That’s just too hot for this chip for extended time. Dropped the oc back down to 4.4 and highest I get now is about 55c. I saw maybe a 5fps reduction, so the game still runs amazing. Keep in mind I have 6 aerocool shark 96cfm 140mm fans running at full tilt (3 intake and 3 exhaust). My rig sounds like a 747 taking off lolz. The heat this thing is exhausting is pure awesomness haha. I wear headphones so don’t hear it while gaming… But my neigbors must think there is some crazy stuff going on next door 😉

I7 6800k @ 4.2Ghz - 6 cores  
Dual GTX 1080 SLI

FPS is 50% of BF4, BF1 gives me 80 but it does not feel smooth on my g sync monitor.

> There is something up for sure because I am running a fx 6300 (not even the 6350) it’s almost 4 years old. Running an amd GPU as well on 1440p screen on ultra everything and getting smooth 70-80 fps and like 70% cpu usage max lolz… For once we amd guys feel for you Intel guys. There is something off for sure. I do know that the latest windows 10 update has caused some weird issues lately on my 3d modeling machine at work… With all of the posts about this over the last week or so you gotta think the devs are aware and scrambling to get a fix out asap. Or at least I would hope. And agree with op, an official thread letting us know would go a long way here I think… And by the way, this is how planetside 2 felt for us amd users hahaha

I have the 6350 with dx 12 on and get 75+ fps lol I just don’t get it
