@the4040man how can it be CPU bottleneck if i only have 40-60% of it's usage? i would understand if the usage was at 100% but it's not. in other games, like doom eternal i have 60-80% of gpu usage but GPU is still using 100% of it's power
@Comed1anI've told you already in my previous two posts, I'm not sure if it's really that hard to understand the concept. The CPU usage itself is not a determining factor for a bottleneck. The CPU usage doesn't show the processing "capabilities" of the processor, it just shows how stressed and "busy" the processor is. This is why I've told you to check various benchmark videos on Youtube so you could see that good CPUs run up to and at about 50-60%, which is great. This should be ideal, because it shows that the game doesn't stress your CPU. CPU usage shows a different type of utilization statistic when it comes to usage in comparison to the GPU usage, I've already explained that in my first post
The concept of the USAGE statistic of the CPU is completely different from the concept of the USAGE statistic of the GPU. In case with the graphics card's usage you could tell if there's a bottleneck, but in case with the CPU's usage you can't tell if there's a bottleneck because that USAGE just shows how stressed the processor is with handling all of the apps that are running on your computer. If you reach 100% usage on the CPU your whole system will start stuttering and lagging and constant freezes because it shows that the CPU is busy and struggling to handle all of the tasks that are currently underway
As for the actual in-game settings:
Switch to DX11, because DX12 in BF1 is just broken and you'll get a lot of random lag spikes.
As for the "RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit" set it to "0".
This isn't meant to be set to "1" unless you have a high-end i9 or 10 series + RTX 2080 for example.
Since you already have MSI Afterburner set up you could test the different "RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit" values by using the in-game console "~" while in an empty server. If you set it to "1" you could probably see a framerate loss on the MSI's FPS counter of 10 to 20 maybe, that's my prediction, but you have to test each value up to 4, although it probably wouldn't do a big difference to "0" for example
@the4040man by watching 20+ useless tutorials i already know how it works, but anyway, thank you
@Comed1anI have the same CPU, I also get the same usage. Another thing you could do to compensate the usage of your graphics card is to set graphic fidelity settings so it could reach the full potential of your graphics card in terms of usage. You could set the Resolution scale up to 120% or 130% and you could actually see how the video card's usage will gradually reach 100% usage. It won't increase your fps, but at least it would bring graphical fidelity to a level in which it could match the bottleneck your gpu is receiving from the CPU. At least your game will look prettier and you'll squeeze the performance you've paid for
