[PC] The Game's Performance doesn't Match My Hardware

Hey there! So after not playing the game since launch, I remembered that the game used to run on my PC in about ~50 FPS, which really shouldn't happen since I have a GTX 1080 and an I7-6700 with 16G...

It is probable that your machine is defaulting to your Intel video processing on your CPU rather than your NVIDIA GPU.

Open the nvidia Control Panel
Click Manage 3D settings
Click the Program Settings tab
Click the Add button
Select the game from the list or click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1\bf1.exe
Select bf1.exe and then Open
Customise individual settings if you like
Exit nvidia control panel and try playing.

Additionally, there are newer video drivers available for your hardware and updating those is advised.

Hi Barry!
I opened the game in the Nvidia control panel and made my graphics card the default for using OpenGL applications.
I also noticed that the Power Management setting was on, so I turned it on. After all these, the game still drops (On some occasions) to ~45 FPS.
I appreciate your help so far, and I'll be glad if you could further help me.

  Hey @k_rool_main,
  
  did your game get optimized by GeForce Experience by any chance? Happened to me recently when my CTE ran smoothly and the retail version had half the FPS. NVIDIA's software just set the resolution scale to over 150%.
  
  You can check that value in game in the options -> video -> advanced. Just set it to 100% and see if that helps. Also try switching off DX12.

    It did it for me too, but I turned it off and still got the same results, which is really strange. Turning off DX12 did absolutely nothing.
