Constant FPS drops and bad performance!
Hello,
I recently got a new, better computer. My old computer specs were i3-8100, GTX 1050 Ti and 16gb ram and the specs on my new pc are i7-770k, GTX 1080 and 16gb ram.
After I got the new pc I got really excited to play Battlefield 5 on high settings as on my old pc I play everything on low with average fps around 80 and all went smooth. Soon after I downloaded battlefield and enter a new match I got really surprised as I could hardly get steady 60 fps on all low. The game for some odd reason feels choppy and I get these constant fps drops to around 30fps which makes the game almost unplayable.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for sending over those screenshots. Looking at the results from CPUID one thing did jump out at me. It looks like your CPU temperatures got up pretty high at some point. If you look at the max temperature readings for your CPU you can see that they got up to 90-100 degrees C at some point. That's pretty hot. Most CPUs are set up so that if they reach a certain temperature threshold they'll start throttling themselves to prevent hardware damage. That might be what's happening in this case. If your CPU is hitting that threshold and slowing itself down to lower temps that could explain why you're seeing performance drops in-game.
Do you have your CPU overclocked? If so it might be worth setting it back down to the default clock speed to see if that helps the temperatures at all. I'd also recommend making sure you've got good airflow in your PC case as well. Make sure all your case fans are running and that they're bringing cool air in from the front/bottom and pushing hot air out the back/top.
Looking at the CPUID I can see that your CPU fan spun up to over 2k RPM when it was at its highest temperature, but it might also be a good idea to take another look at your CPU fan curve if you have a way to set that. There may be an option for it in your BIOS. You might be able to have your fan speed ramp up sooner to help prevent the CPU from heating up as quickly.
