New video. This time with all Ultra settings, except for Effects Quality which is set to medium. People say Passchendaele map really stresses the system, so that’s the map I chose. By the way, if you want to get rid of respawn stutter on Passchendaele, set Effects Quality to medium. Close and restart BF1 for the changes to take effect. This also gets rid of all CPU spikes during gameplay. At least it did for me. Once again I’m running a 4 thread CPU at stock frequencies with Ultra settings and have no CPU spikes. Nothing is overclocked on my system. That being said, I prefer playing at low settings. The mouse and game is more responsive at low settings for me. I feel it gives me a competitive edge.
