Frame drops and lag on an i5-6600K and GTX 1070

Hi @freddiebox and welcome to Answers HQ!

I have an almost identical system. My 1070 is only the AMP edition and my 6600K is overclocked to 4.4Ghz and I don't experience bad frame drops at 1440p. I'm on Ultra with ~ 80 average and low 57 ish to high 100 in FPS.

Have you tried turning off the Origin Overlay? You should also try a clean boot to see if any background application might be messing with your FPS, like antivirus etc. https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

Thank you,

As I said, I'm playing games like Grand Theft Auto V and Rise of the Tomb Raider don't seem to bother me at all regarding graphical performance. This includes Dice games like Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront. And you can have a look on the Battlefield 1 PC Community, there are countless threads coming up now every hour with the same identical problem on a wide range of hardware and configurations. Believe me, I have tried everything the community have suggested me to do and I'm stuck with the huge chunk of the community who simply can't enjoy this game.

And I assure you there is nothing wrong with our systems, it is more likely something wrong with Battlefield 1. To answer your question, I'm always running with Origin Overlay disabled, and my computer runs at decent usage as expected from a new game.

Your networking driver seems a tad old for a Z-170 system. Try updating your motherboard drivers.

Also, as you have if you have tried a bunch of things please list them - anything else is just a waste of time.

And yes there's some people having issues with the game, but not that many actually considering how big the launch is. BF4 was like 20 times worse. All games will have some users that have issues, you can't avoid that.

I'm using a D-Link WiFi Adapter using the latest driver from their support site, and my Killer Network Driver is the most recent for my motherboard, (2015-10-06). And no, I'm not using a Z-170 motherboard, this is a B150 motherboard from MSI. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B150-GAMING-M3

In addition I made sure to monitor my computer while playing Battlefield and my CPU sticks to a ~75% of usage and maintains a 58°C while playing. My GPU coincidentally also sticks to a maximum of 58°C which is very good.

Tried out the new game-ready driver compatible with Battlefield 1 and unfortunately I can't notice any difference. I'm gonna conclude this as being a normal Dice problem and just wait for a patch addressing this. Until I guess I'll just keep the game on Medium settings, which is quite annoying having an expensive setup like this.

Did you played the Beta after the Anniversary Update?

I agree with freddiebox, I have a GTX 1070 i7 6700k, 16gb ddr4 ram and my fps averages around 70-60fps and drops down to 55-30fps when theres a lot going on, like explosions, effects, debris, etc ,etc. Please look in to this problem. This was a problem I also had in the beta. The drop happens on both multiplayer and campaign for me.

This is my thread I made in the battlefield 1 pc community.

If you run the game with "PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1" enabled using the console what is spiking when the Frame drop is happening? The CPU or the GPU?

Servers are down atm. I tried singleplayer, and nothing seems to be spiking, GPU and CPU graph looks consistent, the only time it spikes is when I alt+tab or go into menu. So I don't think its my system or a bottle neck.

I played both the Beta and the final release on the Anniversary Update, and as I said I didn't have any problems with the Beta whatsoever.
