Low/Unstable FPS on good pc

Hi! I just installed BF1 on this pc and turned all the settings to the max, playing on 3440x1440. I am capped at 60 fps with often fall by up to 30 and in general its feeling chunky, snappy and very hard on the eyes. I am testing on campaign mode so its not ping. I am not having any issues running other games like far cry 5 or ac origins on similar (max) settings. Are my specs just too low or is there some tweaking i can do? Thanks in advance

Specs:

Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz

RAM: 32 GB DDR4

GPU: GTX 1080 TI with 12288 MB

Running on windows 10 home

(sorry if I missed something)

  • Hey @Ace_Masteras,

    Have you tried some of the following steps?

    1. Make sure you have Origin in-game Overlay turned off in the Launcher, and the Battlefield 1 Game Properties

    2. Check the Frame Rate Limiter option in the Video/Graphics settings in game, and try setting in to 60 or 120 fps if it's set to "unlimited"

    3. If you're using Nvidia GeForce Experience, try disabling that

    4. Make sure Battlefield 1 has access through your Firewall settings

    5. Make sure you're running DX11 and not DX12

    I don't see why you would be having any issues, the specs you provided are perfectly fine.

    Have you also tried running at High settings, instead of Ultra, and seeing if anything changes?

    Thanks 🙂

    HI! Thanks for the reply. So the culprit with the drop/choppiness was either the overlay or DX12, however i am still capped at 60 fps and switching to high didn't change that. (Geforce experience is disabled and it has full access through firewall) there is something weird though: I don't have 'unlimited' as my frame limiter option, instead my options are:

    60,120, 144, 200, "Monitor Refresh rate"

    I am using acer predator x34, its refresh rate should be 120 but i am capped at 60 in BF1 (only) no mater the frame limiter option.

    Hey @Ace_Masteras,

    Glad to hear the FPS drops/choppiness was taken care of.

    Now, for being capped at 60 FPS, what have you tried to resolve this?

    Have you checked your GPU Driver Settings to make sure it's not capped there?

    Thanks 🙂

    Well like i said i tried switching to every fps limiter option and putting down the graphics but that didn't work. How do i check gpu driver settings for that? what do i look for?

    Thanks!
