Hi everyone.
Some days ago I’ve change my FX6300 to a newer and “better” i3 6100, so now I have 15-25 fps with any graphic settings (from low to ultra). For example, with FX6300 I had 40-60 FPS with a rare drops to 30 fps.
I saw a lot of videos on youtube where i3 6100 looks very well in BF1 and shows stable 60 fps. What is the problem?
I tried unpark cores, turn off energy-saving features in BIOS, but any changes
My specs:
MSI GTX 960 4Gb
MSI Z170 Krait 3X
HyperX Fury 16Gb 2600 (OC) DDR4
Aerocool KSAS 750W
Windows 10 Pro
MSI BIOS Ver. 2.50
Resolution: 1650x1080
My son’s rig uses an i3 6100 and he has no issues.
Do a clean install of graphics drivers.
If your gonna overclock you will need to flash the appropriate BIOS first as later BIOS have disabled non k overclocking.
Also Microsoft may have updated the microcode so even a appropriate BIOS won’t work.
If you do not know what you say best do not speak, i3 is weak, but it is much stronger than the FX6350 that put it "minimal, so you have no idea of hardware go where you came from.
It is not normal what happens to you, I would opt to completely uninstall the drivers using DDU, and installing the latest available drivers, you should also use MSI Afrerburner and measure the use of cpu and gpu during the game to identify what is causing the problem, okay?
BF1 runs with 4 basic threads… so 4 cores are the bare minimum.
For multiplayer, each core has to do so much work, you’ll need strong singlecore performance (modern i5)
or hyperthreading (any i7)
.
So the bad news is, your CPU is not going to cut it… the good news is that your mainboard upgrade was not futile since that modern socket can be upgraded to something like a 6600
i3 chip was never really intended for gaming. Sure you might be able to play but you will not have great performance. You should consider an upgrade or get use to the performance.
The minimum spec:
OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
Processor (AMD): AMD FX-6350
Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K
Memory: 8GB RAM
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB
Graphics card (Nvidia): Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB
DirectX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent
Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection
Hard-drive space: 50GB
The recommended spec:
OS: 64-bit Windows 10 or later
Processor (AMD): AMD FX 8350 Wraith
Processor (Intel): Intel Core i7 4790 or equivalent
Memory: 16GB RAM
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB
Graphics card (Nvidia): Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
DirectX: 11.1 Compatible video card or equivalent
Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection
Available Disk Space: 50GB
Calling the 6600 the MINIMUM is not really useful tho.
3470 here, pushing 60fps with some cfg tweaks, and rarely visible stutter.
My buddy runs a 2500, which performs the same.
.
I honestly dunno what to say about people who report 60fps with an i3. It should not be possible.
Yep, I know that 6100 should run well (otherwise I would not buy it). I’ve spent a much time to read reviews, tests and CPU comparisons in different games and 6100 is quite enough for most of them.
Previosly I used my FX 6300 (OC to 4.3) with an ordinary MSI 970A-G46 and 12 GB slow DDR3 (1366 Mhz) — but now I have much better RAM and Mobo, so I pretty much doubt that the issue is in them. But who knows.
Is it possible that the issue in the components compability, connection problems, CPU BIOS settings, BIOS version, etc? May be I should try reinstalling Windows? (I don’t want do it, is it really necessary?)
