I really can’t understand what’s going on with BF1
My specs are
Nvidia GTX 980
Intel i-7 4790k
8 GB RAM
85% Of the time i’m playing with 0-10 fps and the other 15% i get a solid 60 fps
I updated everything, changed every settings but nothing seems to work. A 980 should have no issues, so i9ve tried playing Crysis 2 on ultra settings and it’s perfeclty fine.
Does anyone have an answer?
Most find the game runs best with 16gb ram. What resolution do you play at ?
Also run afterburner while playing bf1 monitoring cpu / gpu usage and temps to see what in happening generally and when fps drops. If cpu keeps hitting 100% you could try overclocking being careful of voltage and temps.
Also when playing make sure nothing else is running. When the game slows start taskmanager to see what is using the cpu. I had automatic windows update and Microsoft compatibility survey taking 25-50% cpu in game so disabled both.
Some find setting bf1 to above normal priority can also help.
Try the free options first, hope that helps.
GTX 980 is not the best anymore, not if you want to play on ultra or high. Game’s like Battlefield 1 are very demanding in terms of GPU.
So, what sets are you playing on ? High? Ultra?
I got a gtx970 and i6700k
16 gig ram and all on high/ultra on 30" 2560x1600.
Fps 60-100 some seldom drops around 50.
(Edit: cuse of the resolution i got aa off)

8GB can be OK but when you are having a sh*tload of programs running in the background it is not enough. Like posters said before: get more ram OR reduce your Win10 and 3rd party programs … or both options … 
What size of monitor you running & what resolution and hertz? What’s your in game video settings?
First, thanks to everyone for trying to help me, i’ll try the things that you guys wrote
Now i’ll answer your questions
I’m playing on ultra but lowering the settings (even to minimum) didn’t affect the fps
I’m using a 23.6 inches monitor, a basic 60 hertz one and playing at 1920 x 1080
I’m also gonna download afterburner
the 8gig of ram is it one 8gb stick or 2 sticks of 4gb?
If changing video settings makes no difference at all what ever the settings then it’s a bottleneck. I’m going to guess your memory is the issue.
One 8GB stick
There’s your problem, you’re only running single channel. You need another identical stick.
I may consider upgrading my ram, i’ll keep that in mind, thanks
Please activate V-Sync and turn down your anti-aliasing, let’s see what happens.
he is right,upgrade your ram to 2x8 modules and it should be much beter,its running in single channel now what kills the performance with 2 moduels in runs in dual channel.Plus memory speed is also important
The more RAM you have, the better it is!!
However, 8GB should be perfectly fine.
Hello,
I have the same problem, and I have also been advised to install aditional ram for dual channel mode. My question is:
I have installed TEMPORARY aditional 2x2GB of ram at same speed in free slots, but I seem to cant notice any improvement in performance. Order of dimms used now:
1: 2GB
2: 8GB
3: 2GB
4: empty
My MoBo documentation says that dimms 2 and 4 are meant for dual channel mode. (MSI gaming 3 Z97). Now I can notice that ram usage is not more than 8 GB, and readings in MSI Afterburner tell me that pagefile is over 9GB. Of course, i have Samsung SSD SATA 3.
Will I achieve something by installing only 2x8GB in dual channel mode? (buying another 8GB module)
Thank you all!
Cheers.
Rubbish !Maybe not “the best” but probably the 5th best card available ..lol should still run this game 60fps+ on Ultra
2x2gb does not Give more fps, because 4gb ram is way to low, buy an other 8gb stick and you must see improvement of fps.
8 gig on one stick is single channel. You can’t run properly like that. He’d be better off with 2x 4gig stick. Single stick equals bad. He must run another 8gig stick if he wants his game to run good.
Why would you even run single memory channel on a gaming setup? Dual channel has been the standard since DDR1.
