Getting mad at these low fps

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.

I have to disagree.
BF1 runs 1080p all ultra steady 60fps with GTX970 or RX470 no problem, even a HD7870 is sufficient.
For how good it looks, it’s incredible low on GPU requirement.

I may consider upgrading my ram, i’ll keep that in mind, thanks

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

what about 4+4+8? does it kill performance?

[freakingcrazy]

Yes you need 2 or 4 sticks and off The same size, just buy 1x 8gb to get 2x8gb

Dual channel works by effectively combining the bandwidth of both memory sticks in a single larger one for better performance. A single 8gb will not work in dual channel as it has nothing to combine with.

I understand. But do that modules have to be exactly the same models? I do not mean on MHz, I am talking about timing settings. Can we use 2 different manufactures on lets say 8GB/1600MHz, and manually set timing parameters in bios?

So, what sets are you playing on ? High? Ultra?

Lol you guys think him getting 0-10 fps is because he has a gtx 980? I mean, mine puts out around 80-100fps on mostly ultra and 120 rez scale, with an i5 4670k.

There’s obviously some issue apart from just hardware specs.

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.

Look at page 15 of the Manual. From what I understands it means this:

Case1 - 2 equal RAM sticks:
You have to put them into DIMM2 and DIMM4.

Case2 - 4 equal RAM sticks:
Simply populate all.

“To ensure system stability, memory modules must be of the same type and density in Dual-Channel mode.”

Here is what my mobo manual says:
“You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps
the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration.
Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation”

I think the same logic should apply to Intel systems as well. I think the MSI doc can be misunderstood.
P.s.: And yes, go for dualchannel.

To be sure yes, best to get exactly the same module again. Brand , model, speed, latency etc. That way you are sure it works. When I went to 16GB I put in an extra 2 x 4GB of exactly the same RAM as I already had.

dont waste your time getting this issue fixed, BF1 isnt worth it.

Solved by reinstalling win10 from scratch, and installing 4x4 modules. Fps is stable mostly, since not all maps are well optimised. On sinai desert I get 80-110 fps and on amiens I get 65-85 fps. But no drops are present..

THX for the success feedback!!
